What earphones do you use?

Audio-Technica ATH-M40x studio monitors. These use to be very affordable, not so much anymore. My son liked mine so much he asked for a pair for Christmas and uses them to edit his videos(he actually a pro). Sony WF-1000XM4 for ear buds. Many pick them as the best out there now among the usual players. Don't know about the others but if your phone does LDAC the Sony's are very good.

Sony Fontopia from 1990s still work for me. I also bought a pair or current Panasonics for $10, not as good but whatever. I don't care for earphones that cost more than $50 a pair. I hate IEMs with rubber "nipple", but I do have a pair of these, Bluetooth, they fit completely in the auricle, so putting stuff on/off like, say, a bike helmet does not pull them out. Try putting on a helmet with wireless AirPods. I like the shape of original AirPods, the part that goes in ear resemble 1990 design. 2nd gen is ok too, 3rd gen are ugly.

Upgraded my Grado SR-80i to Grado GS-1000. The GS-1000 has an amazing 3D sound stage. Layers to the music that's so appealing!

I have an older version of these rather basic Sonys with the mic. I like them so much I kept using them even though it meant I'd have to buy an adapter to use them in my iPhone.

Nowadays having wired ear buds is starting to look as weird as over-the-ear headphones started to look in the 80s.

I use Bose QuietComfort 35 (in silver) at work, and really love those, too!

For home listening, I have an old pair of Sony MDR-V600. Finally, enough of the paint came off of the cups that it's not shedding it any more. The plastic is getting creaky, but they keep soldiering on. I still use them, but I find they need the bass boosted with the EQ of my amplifier for them to sound anywhere NEAR as good as my tower speakers. I like how they fold up and they came in a nice vinyl drawstring bag and with a classy gold-plated screw-on 1/4" adapter. I don't think they're worth trying to find new cups for, so I'll just leave them as-is and I'm in the process of replacing them with some Sennheiser "Jubilee" 580x from massdrop. I may need to pick up an amp to get the best sound, but I'm not sure yet.
