My budget is maximum $50

There's a Dutch weather man who reviews a crazy amount of earbuds as a hobby. They're all Bluetooth ones though. I found that you get better quality for a similar price if you get a wired one.

Anyway, recommend that you check out https://www.scarbir.com/

He has lists per price range, but also recommendations per usage type. E.g. I bought ones that were less affected by wind noise (during a call).

Thx so much, I will see this website! I know that wired one are better value. But for me wireless is obligatory, cannot go to the gym or do what I want without wireless

I have wireless earbuds because of their practicability too. I'd recommend you the ones I have (Soundcore Liberty 4 NC) but unfortunately they cost almost double your budget 😅

I would prefer to spend only few bucks to get earbuds just because it's a great thing for me but the 2 that I've got broke so I don't want to waste $100 into this

To each their own, but I prefer wired earbuds run under my shirt, especially at the gym. Then if I need to take one out or they fall out, they're tethered to me.

So even when doing workout you need to have your phone with you, in your pockets?

In a pocket, an arm-band, or compression shorts, sure! I guess I don't know where else it'd be.

Jumping jacks aren't even fun if we have to wear pants.

I'm confused. An arm-band is not pants. Pockets are found on shirts/sweaters too. I guess compression shorts could be considered pants?
