Hello, I am looking for earbuds for listening to music - mainly pop, hiphop and musical theatre.
My criteria are:
* budget 50-75 euro
*without heavy or extra bass
* wired
* with mic

I have had kz zst x and kz zsx. I love the energetic and vivid sound. Sadly they broke. I have salenotes zero but I find them a bit lifeless. Kz made me excited and feel like I am near the stage.

Try the Truthear HOLA or HEXA, or even the ZERO RED or BLUE if you prefer. Salnotes Zero are also excellent.

Think the default rec at this price has become EA500LM by most. Although it is a few dollars more.
Strength: Above average resolution. Bass is good and snappy but not over bearing IMO.
Weakness: Treble is grainy and slightly sharp at times, a sacrifice for the resolution.

On AliExpress you can get an IEM cable kit with boom mic. It's like $13 and will let you pick anything if having a mic is a must have.

Here are a few earbud for your budget; Sony c700, JBL Free 2 Pro, Jabra 4 or 5, Soundcore Liberty 4.

I am looking for wired earbuds. But thanks for the suggestions

Graph looks to show LM has less bass and more Treble.

What gives the liveliness of kz zsx? Is it worth to save up for something else. I have come across 7zh timeless, seeaudio, simgot ea1000. What do you think about shanling sono

Gain between 1-2kHZ is pretty aggressive so gives the liveliness is my guess. Honestly would recommend jumping to $300-500 and call it done. If you're still not sure what type of sound you like then you can buy a few more cheapies. Haven't tried any of those that you mentioned unfortunately

What would you recommend up to 150 - 200 euro or 300-600 euro

Hard to say since everyone has different preferences. I would recommend checking out Jay's buying guide. Super helpful for me.
