I brought 2 sets back in early January and they are my daily use even with others that sound better:
pros
-button operation instead of touch sensitive
-easy detect and pairing, most reliable and consistent of all the ones I own
-massive case battery
-still working after 2-3 charges a day for the past 5 months
-$12.50 when I brought it
-survived multiple(20+) drops
-good range
-my most comfortable Bluetooth headphone, and this is the most important trait because I have it on 10-12 hours a day
cons
-mic isn't the best, but it works. I sound muffed to person on other end
-flat sound, worst of all 5 of the under $17 Slickdeals one I brought after

both of these cons (mainly the flat sound) is a deal breaker. Why have ear buds if the main point of them does not work? (To listen to music)

I use mine for audiobooks and podcasts so the sound doesn't matter as much as when I listen to music. These should be fine for audiobooks and podcasts.

Thanks. Mic quality is important to me for calls but I'm cheap as well so I'll hold out for different ones.

My issue there is an audiobook with poor recording quality will have the lack of quality amplified by a poor set of earbuds. Though, there are a few narrators that I would like to decrease their audio in order to tolerate their voice/accent...
Huh, I thought it would be the other way around, a high-end great set of earbuds would amplify the shortcomings of a poor audio recording.
Maybe it depends.
For example, some recordings have a high whistling sound which is suppressed when using a mediocre set of buds, while on my Etymotics it becomes super annoying.
I had a cheap pair i gave away after getting the galaxy buds+, sound quality was good but it was totally worth the $45 i spent on galaxy buds+, especially since I'm in telecom's multiple hours a day and the mic tends to really suck on the cheap ones. I've used my coffee grinder on calls with the buds+ and people can't hear it.

What one has the best sound quality? I'm looking for something with a usable mic and good sound quality. I'm using those cheap urlhasbeenblocked wired bluetooth headsets that I love, but the sound quality isn't the best.

So I personally went for this never heard off brand on Amazon to have Aptx and ANC for ~$30 after %40 clip on coupon Update: [Coupon is gone]
Thinking for $10 I could use these for working out in the garage and not care to much if they get all sweaty.
Anything better out there for cheap?
