I'm using a pair of Fairbuds from (Dutch company) Fairphone. I don't really know how they compare to anything else as they're the first noise cancelling in-ear headphones I have, but I'm pretty happy.

They received a 10/10 score on iFixIt and received 4/5 stars in the Guardian, who found the sound to lag slightly when watching videos. I only use them for music and podcasts, so I wouldn't really know about that.

I guess one of the big things about them is that batteries can be easily replaced in both the case and the ear pieces, so they have no real reason to become e-waste at any point in the near future.

Ah, you're right - I didn't even know electric earplugs were a thing that existed. Oops.

Ah, simple as that.
