Got these earbuds for a little over six euros from AliExpress. They sound very nice for the price, I love the Y2K transparent skeleton aesthetic and most importantly for me, the earbuds can be detached from the cable, so if it breaks you can just get a new one for a few bucks. I've had to toss dozens upon dozens of earbuds over the years due to faulty cables so I really appreciate being able to swap them

Edit: You can also plug in Bluetooth adapters into the cable connectors, which is pretty cool. The adapters seem to be a bit expensive though so you'd probably want one of the fancier models

If you were willing to spend a bit more in the 20-30 dollar range, you'd probably be able to get really nice Chinese earbuds but I just needed something cheap for backup and these do very nicely

Been two years with my salnotes zeros and they've still got me pogging up, had to swap the cables a couple months ago though

Those seem to be a tier or two above these, but they're still pretty inexpensive. Swappable earbud cables should have been the standard from the start owl-pissed

They're my only headphones so I was willing to eat the cost. What's crazy is the quality of DACs you can get for like $7 on AliExpress, legit makes no sense to buy anything more expensive until you hit like the $80 tier
