Apologies: This is a repost. I realised my previous title was poor. I've tried to be more explicit.
 
Ideally would like an ultra budget set that I can use when out gardening (so something sturdy and not expensive) and something else a little nicer to use at home with clean hands.
 
Currently have:
 
Sandisk Sansa Clip running stock firmware & UK volume restriction removed - this has lasted extremely well under the circumstances (been dropped, stood on, pecked at by chickens and is still going after several years). Sadly though, battery life appears to be lessening and I broke the clip a few years ago, it has been used and abused.
 
Ear wise I am mainly using Piston 3, favoring these over my Shure SE110. I also have the Xiaomi Hybrids but I have misplaced them.
 
I listen:
To music ripped to FLAC on 64 and 128gb cards
Probably too loud and am trying to reduce volume.
To a lot of indie/alt music 90's/00's but also a wide range of other stuff 60's garage, funk, soul, folk and rock
 
What I want:
I am looking to upgrade my listening experience, albeit on a budget. I've just placed two orders on a whim for a Benjie S5 and Ruizu X02.
 
For my clean hands, I am particularly interested in the Xduoo X2/3, ONN X5 and Fiio X1. Earphone wise I have no idea, just would like a few recommendations for IEM that will pair well with these players and the ones I have on order.
 
 
Thank you for any advice.
