I cannot speak to these options. I have Shure earbuds, but also don’t want to just recommend them as there are so many options out there today. What are your primary needs for earbuds, are you looking for sound quality, sound isolation? Are you limited to Amazon purchases? You may want to go down a rabbit hole on the Perrivan audio review site, https://perrivanaudio.com/oreo-list/. Good Hunting!
Oof, thankfully it was mostly your ego that was bruised. At least you can laugh about it after the fact with that image of you carrying everything around stuck to your head.
