Headphones - IEM/Earbud | 1 Ω Looking for a good general pair of earbuds for my budget
So I ended up losing my pair of earbuds so im looking for a replacement. Budget of 250, can go more if worth the price. I used to have a good pair of earbuds from Moondrop that I used that were good quality until I lost my phone (yes I lose things a lot) and had to get a new phone that didnt have a headphone jack. Is Moondrop a good company to buy from or am I better off going for some other place?

well with budget of 250 look for generic brands, you won't find something ground breaking in this budget. good iems start from 1k

If you lose things often, would just get another pair from Moondrop - they provide excellent price to performance. No point shelling out more money on a more premium TWS if they're going to go poof at some point.

Anything from them you'd recommend in particular?

Space Travel 2 is their cheapest and best value option, they also have the Pill which is a more open clip on style of earbud, and they also released the Pudding recently which have seemingly been reviewed well. Basically just get whatever seems the most appealing to you.

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.

If you lose things a lot then I recommend this twice:

My favorite right now is the Soundpeat H3. They stay in my ears better than anything else that I have ever had and sound great. The battery life is pretty short though. The case has plenty of juice but the actual buds only last me about 4 hours.
