I have gone through three apple ones in the last year. They work great until they don’t. But they have been the best, along with the google brand one I had with my pixel 3 before that. I will admit that I have a very fast paced job and it is more wear and tear than a normal person would probably put on one. But when I had a jack on my phone I never went through earbuds as quickly as I have gone through dongles and I always bought relatively cheap earbuds.
