Not an earbud but 64 Audio U12T is often considered fairly good, as for earbuds I heard Monks are pretty okay.

If budget is an issue then the answer changes, here's a year-old list https://crinacle.com/rankings/iems/

I also submit Truthear Zero for $50ish, Celest Gumiho for the samish price if you don't have big earholes, and Letshuoer S12 Pro if you want something really good. There's Salnotes Zero in the $20 range and it's got a really good reputation but personally I don't think it can do treble.

None of these are literally earbuds, they're IEMs to split hairs

Monks are okay. And cheap. I tried many other cheap chi-fi earbuds, I found Monks to be the best. Then I tried their expensive Zen model, and I actually still preferred Monks. But I gotta say. I don't really use earbuds, unless I'm in a train or bus. For potable use I use Porta pro. The sound is not even comparable, it's so much better. It can be folded together so you can have it in your pocket, just as you can with a set of earbuds.

I havenโ€™t tried them myself, but the Fiio FF3 and FF5 are some options

I got myself a pair of Sennheiser IE 300 earlier this year combined with a Fiio KA3 driving them from my iPhone and AM. It is extremely good sounding and hands down the best IEM I have ever had.

Only problem is you can never go back

Here's a good list ๐Ÿ‘‡

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/wireless-bluetooth-earbuds-in-ear-headphones

I would add the Anker Liberty 3 Pro to the list they usually sell for $200.00 you can get them for $130.00 on sale right now on Amazon.... That's a sweet deal. Version 4 is out but l have no idea what they sound like.

The Anker Life Dot usually sells $80.00 now there on sale for $40.00 they sound fan freaking tastic...come with LDAC codec and nealy 100 hour charge

EDiT: I would also recommend jetAudio+ with these plugins the AM3D Audio Enhancer, Bongiovi DSP and the Crystalizer ... That's a game changer for your smart phone
