Suggestions for new earbuds or similar

I've been using JBL Reflect Minis for a year or so.  Great for podcasts and the like but not so much for music.  Open to all suggestions in the sub $200 range.  Just starting to do a little research so not sure what my choices even are.  One requirement is they have to be good for movement - ie. mowing grass, yardwork, etc.  What is everyone using out there?

Thanks

I've been using Soundcore, a model around $45. They connect consistently, are comfortable, have good battery life, and work well with my Android phone. In my view, spending money on wireless earbuds is about basic durability and usability, not on high fidelity. These tick off those boxes. Plus, no  heartache if they get lost. $45, no biggie.

If you are mowing without hearing protection I feel for your ears. Especially since not only are you mowing, but adding even more noise on top of that with earbuds. The horror.

Thanks for your concern miller.  But I've been using a Toro battery mower for a few years now.  Excellent machine, quiet as a mouse.  Always some type of hearing protection in use even with my mouse mower.

Thanks hilde, I hear you.  But I'm sure there has to be something better for not too much money.  Not high fidelity for sure, but maybe medium fidelity?  Maybe someone will chime in with a winner.  Doesn't have to be earbuds per se, maybe some good portable closed backs that will stay on your head well enough.
