There are many choices on Amazon. Current popular choice would be BLON BL3, which is an IEM rather than an "earbud". If you could post your budget that will help people to advise suitable options.

Thanks, but I hate iem. My budget is similar to eb2, yuin pk3.. that sort of earbud. I guess 40€?

Are the ve monks still a thing? Never tried them but they were a big hit here a while back.

OK, fair enough. Have a look here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/earbuds-round-up.441400/ there should be somthing available on Amazon to fit your requirements and budget.

Check out the BK2. Should be around 20ish usd as a permanent price. Previously 50+ usd. Quite balanced, good subbass extension/quantity for a bud. Soundstage is average but techinicalities punch above the price. Timbre and tonality good as per other buds. And it has detachable cables which is rare at the price.

how do you rate them against this?

some dude here said those are better than eb2:

Just reviewed the KBEAR Knight earbuds.
I think these are very good for the price.
I do not own many earbuds, but I feel these sound good. My EB2 from NiceHCK really struggle behind them.

Review up here.

Beside the good sound quality, i would like something that doesnt break in a year.

The kbear knight has quite good reviews on headfi. I don't have it as it looked a bit bass lite from reviews and I'm a basshead. Generally most buds won't be able to give good subbass extension and quantity compared to IEMs, but i guess if u are not particular about bass, that's an option.

I think they're not gonna break fast.
What I can tip is to buy something with a MMCX cable. I know that at lower price brackets that's rare to find, but at least you won't be left without earbuds if they accidentally break.
Anyway, the KBEAR Knight are great for the price and even if in the future you'll break them accidentally, you've paid a very little money (but they're overall solid, at least my sample).

Well, I do like bass. I think yuin pk3 and EB2 have a decent curve. if the Bear is similar then I will buy.
