I have to disqualify the SoundMAGIC E80D Digital USB C Headphones because it looks like their 90ยฐ plug won't fit with the rather thick otterbox case I have on my phone.

Any other suggestions? Would be using primarily for phone but also for laptop, if that makes any difference.

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who responded ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘Looks like I've got several good leads to follow, so I'd better get started!

To be honest, the standard Apple wired dirty buds are quite fine. according to reviews they seem to have a very good amp and their sound is very good too. You'll pay a bit of Apple tax, though, they cost around 20 โ‚ฌ.

I've tried the non-pro ones and their sound quality is lacking. This is probably because they just leak all the bass out due to not being in-ear

Yep, those and the wired pixel buds from Google used to be pretty decent. Admittedly, I haven't used either in a few years.

I had the Pixel buds too, the sound was excellent but after a couple years the wire plastic got all sticky and stiff so I had to throw them out
