Any recommendations of wired earbuds that have at least AirPods 3rd gen (non-Pro) sound quality? Classic type, not IEMs / in-ear.
I'm looking for wired 3.5mm jack earbuds of classic type (not IEMs / in-ear) recommendation that would have sound quality at least on par with AirPods 3rd gen (non-Pro). I do have both genuine (bought from the official Apple store and even double checked them) AirPods 3rd gen as well as wired Apple EarPods, while I do like my AirPods the EarPods have vastly inferior sound quality to them so I'm looking for some replacement for the wired ones. My main usage is playing games on handheld consoles and music from the ESS Sabre based DAP. I do prefer quite balanced sound, not a fan of too much exposed bass, for daily I use studio headphones with pretty flat response curve. Is there anything worth currently on the market that is similar to the AirPods 3rd gen in terms of earbuds build type (not IEMs / in-ear) and sound quality while being wired? Thank you in advance.
