Ordered the JLab Audio Go Air off Amazon.ca back in May 2021 on sale for $30 from $40 & have had reliability/build quality issues to the point they don't work (A month, or just under after I got them, the right earbud stopped playing audio but controls still worked fine, guessing a loose connection or something. Contacted them for warranty but wanted me to destroy it & send a photo of it destroyed instead of sending it back so I just kept using only the left bud and eventually the mesh filter fell off. Now it's clogged with earwax & don't work), so now I'm looking for a replacement option and once I get something to replace them, then I'll try going through with the Warranty.
For budget, I'm looking at $40 tax included ($34.80 pre tax), preferably $37 ($32.19 pre tax) or less as that's what I have left in Amazon.ca gift card balance from the holidays.
Will be used with a Samsung Galaxy S10 in a Spigan Tough Armor case (case makes my Wired Headphones (ATH-M20X) loose, easy to unplug it accidentally), mainly for watching videos & live streams with some occasional music & Gaming. 99% of the time will be used at home, if whatever I get lasts through the remainder of the pandemic then I'll likely use them when taking public transit to get around.
For tonal balance, no real preference though Bass would be nice.
For Music Genre, there's various from Country & Classic Rock to J-Rock & J-Pop
For past gear, I mentioned the JLab Audio Go Air and my issues with it, if it wasn't for build quality/reliability they'd be fine, other than that I also have a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M20x off amazon.ca back in May 2020 for $69 and they're still going strong & I enjoy them, got them for my PC through the front panel 3.5mm jack.
As for options, here's what I see currently in budget sold by Amazon (instead of 3rd party/marketplace sellers) from brands I've heard of before.
Skullcandy Jib Wireless, starting at $15, the non would be a little more starting at $22.27
JBL Tune 125BT Wireless starting at $26.98, 115BT starts at $28.02
Skullcanda Sesh True Wireless for $29.97
JBL Endurance Run got $29.98
If I check Warehouse Deals for Used instead of New:

Sony WI-SP500 Wireless for $31.94 Good condition
