I buy the cheap ass Walmart “ONN” branded earbuds. 16 bucks a set. Sounds decent, 10 hours battery on the earbud, another 20 in the case.
I’m hard on earbuds. I step on them, lose them in tunnels while doing under slab plumbing work, lose them in ceilings running water lines, drop them down sewer cleanouts, and more.
I average about two months, sometimes three, before I break them or drop them down sewer drains. It is wasteful, but, I can lose 15 pairs before I have spent what a pair of AirPods Pro costs.
I can’t do wired anymore. They get hung up on too much stuff while working and sometimes present a hazard.
Those are what I use, I've had my current set for at least a year and the battery is still going strong, I usually only have one in at a time so they last for several days before I have to charge it.
