There's plenty more IEM than earbuds, but there truly are excellent earbuds out there. I suggest you save your money and get either the Fiio FF5 or FF3.

No one can convince you that shoving things in your ear is normal FOR YOU. Find something you enjoy.

You won't believe how many HOURS I've spent looking for buds and barely finding cheap ones. Thank you so much for showing me these I am about to cry!

I am just beginning to go into the earbud rabbithole myself, /u/o0genesis0o has a blog I follow that reviewed both the ff3 and the ff5, check this out.

I ended up ordering both the ff3 and the ff5 and kept the ff5 simply because of the mmcx cable, but I don't think it's THAT superior, so maybe the ff3 will be a better solution to you. I also ended up checking out the smabat m2s pro and the toneking dendroaspis but IN MY OPINION they didn't come close to the ff3/ff5.

Was looking for a comparison so I've just checked it out and I don't think the ff3 would cut it. Swapable cables? absolutely. already worth an extra 10€ xD I only have low low lowest end earbuds currently just to replace my broken ones. I also wear them against the wind (my ears are so broken). I fell for the ff5 instantly even without hearing anything. Going to order them within the day 🎶 I listen to music basically all day for writing and chores. It's my thinking juice. I can't wear my Marshall on-ears for that long. Thanks again, you really saved my day.
