Either one is alright.

Just ****ing sick of Apple's Earpod's ****ing cable breaking after like 2 months of use.

Any JVC IEMs should do you justice, $25 doesn't get you carbon nanotube durability but they should hold up for a good while

How about these?

They seem pretty good to me but my only problem with them is that they don't have a mic or volume control.

Had another look, these also look pretty good to me.

This one has a mic.

Edit: One final look, this one looks the most promising to me.

1st or 3rd, though the JVCs should have a Mic variant

Apparently not.

Probably gonna go with the third choice. Really like having volume control.

And aren't those flattened cords supposed to be tangle free?

Another huge pet peeve of mine since I always wind up my earbuds when I carry them.

Ye you should b fine

TF, why would anyone want to wear heavy ass headphones?

Can't be good for their necks.

Because heaviness is often associated with quality.
