Ok hear me out, I live in another country and constantly talking to my family while I do other stuff.

I had an original Apple Earpods with lightning connector, used to work well but suddenly it was giving strange sounds to everyone I talk to.

I have Airpods Pro, no one listens to me when I use them. I tried cleaning, doing all sorts of stuff but no improvements. I guess they didn’t work well out of the box.

I just want an earpod (wireless or no) that has the best mic so everyone can hear me and I don’t have to unplug and use my phone everytime.

Something I would get off Amazon that is under 50$. Thanks!

If the original Apple Earpods work well I can get another one and give it another shot. It’s at 35$ I guess?

Anyways I would appreciate this, as it’s irritating me and becoming crucial since I left my country.

Thanks

At first i was looking at the 2nd Gen AirPod pros but then I’ve heard that cheaper earbuds beat it if we’re talking about sound quality. Ive also heard that the mic quality is disappointingly bad for the price.

Then I found Beats Studio Pro + and the reviews seem to be inconsistent. One review says that its not as good as the Airpods and the other says its much better. The mic quality is also an issue for the beats, apparently.

In other words, I want to know if anything here is true and if either earbud is worth buying, or if i should get something else instead.

Also, does Hi-Res even matter on an Earbud? Does it work with iPhones/Apple Music?

Any suggestions?
