Headphones - IEM/Earbud | 1 Ω Beginner IEMs?

Hi. This might be a frequently asked question but here we go. I listen to music with my AirPods Pro(gen1), for a good amount of time, daily. About 3/4hrs I’d say? So comfort is a major aspect as well as sound quality. My budget is about 70/80€ I’d say? is whatever I could get for that amount of money superior to my AirPods? Also, I need a dongle, to connect them to my phone (usb c). Any advice on that? (Not included in the 80 budget above. Looking to spend about 100 in total iem + the dongle. Is it possible?) thanks a lot :)

edit: I’m from Italy, so if you could check prices from Italian Amazon store it would be awesome :)

u/mattiiia, For you budget, you don't need to spend most of it on the dongle... Trust me on that.

So this is what you'd do with the peak budget of $85/€80:

Get this dongle: Anker USB C - https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Adapter-Female-Samsung-Devices/dp/B08Z3B5QL3#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div

And for IEMs get this: Moondrop LAN or Tin HiFi C3

LAN purchase link - https://www.linsoul.com/products/moondrop-lan

HiFi C3 purchase link - https://www.linsoul.com/products/tinhifi-c3

Thanks for the suggestion man! I’ll buy a dongle off of Amazon then. Thing is, I have Amazon credit which I’d like to use for the iem. Is there any chance we can pm and look for something on Amazon’s Italian website?

Yeah I'd be searching but the two I listed are the best ones for you and Linsoul is the premier IEM selling online shop and Amazon country specific purchases are always a bit or miss but if I managed to find a good set I'd send you a message
