Hello! I like to powerwalk around town and listen to music, but I can't exactly take my planar magnetics, amp, and dac with me. My company gave me some AirPods 2 that I've been using, but I'm not a huge fan. I'm looking for some better earbuds for metal, trance, and occasional orchestra. Some things I'm looking for:
Some options I've considered:
- Wired or wireless are both fine (I'm not opposed to a portable amp if required)
- Punchy bass
- Microphone is preferable but not required
- Preferably something that wraps around the back of my ear (e.g. no AirPods)
- No latency requirement, I won't be watching video
- Sweat resistant (IPX4+)
- $250 or less
Some options I've considered:
- Jaybird Vista 2
- Westone B50
- Jabra Elite Active 75t
- JBL Reflect Mini NC
- beyerdynamic Blue BYRD
