Good sounding wired earbuds - affordable?


My stock apple wired earbuds sound ok for calls, but for music, the highs are kinda brittle and cymbals sound nothing like actual cymbals.

So I tried the Klipsch T5Ms for $45 (What HiFi product of the year 2019). Solid brand. What could go wrong? Well they sound like a 1980s alarm clock radio. Thin, tinny even. NO bass whatsoever. And super inefficient compared to the stock $29 Apple buds. So I am returning them. I think Klipsch might have a quality control problem here. 

Any other recommendations?

I have a pair of FIIO F9 which work for me. 

They sounded like your description of the Klipsch's at first. My challenge was to get a good seal. The foam tips didn't provide a good seal, but with triple flanges, the bass appeared and everything dialed in.

All time best earbuds are TECNO wired. This wired earbuds offer a professional in-ear and extended bass as well. And specialy in your budget

if you looking for the best earbuds check out tranya t10 pro these buds offer low latency and IPX7 rating 

I have gone up the ladder with Etymotics. Most neutral wired earphones there are, and very comfortable. Won't listen to anything else. Now have top ER-4XR. Neal
