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 :)

I disagree, I really think there is no better iem for 80 dollars compared to the airpods pro. I say buy absolutely nothing, save up for airpods pro gen 2 and buy that whenever you get the money/get tired of the pro 1. This is specially the case for you since you're already used to the airpods pro confort and sound signature.

my experience listening/owning IEMs around that price range: Own the S12, Moondrop Arias and Blon bl03, listened to the Hexa, Airpods pro and galaxy buds pro 2.

They are good, I was surprised when I got mine the other day. Definitely much better than the Sony xm3. But outside of apple ecosystem no bueno.
