Not the ideal answer and you may have already discounted it, but you can get an adapter for the charging port to plug in your existing headphones, downside you can't charge your phone and listen to music simultaneously.

Status Audio in between pro with triple drivers

I was a 1More triple driver wired earbud user for many years. Just moved on to bluetooth earbuds. Very good, very reasonably priced, good battery life. No NC, so use a good replacement bud to get a good seal. However the case may not accept a replacement bud so there is a bit of management needed if going that way.

But generally very good alternative to the big name brands. looks much more sleeker and timeless as well.

Don't discount the Sony earbuds, they're very good

I bought a set of the original Echo buds from Amazon in a Black Friday deal a few years ago and they are really good sounding IMO, and come with noise reduction. The current ones are supposedly even better with full noise cancelling plus a Qi charging case option and I see them on offer from time to time, certainly will be on a Prime Day or Black Friday. Can't really justify the purchase as the old ones are still going strong.

Happy with my soundpetes T2 noise cancelling buds.

Trouble is you'll get loads of recommendations like mine, but unless you try them all, how are you going to settle on something that suits your taste in sound, we are after all individuals.

The Sony XM4s are really good but they are on the large side. I swapped them for the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 and I'm really enjoying them. I did get them as a freebie with my Fold 4 so there might be some BNIB on eBay.

Another vote for Sony XM4s.

I already had over-ear XM3s, but wanted some in-ear ones for taking on holiday. I was pretty sure I wouldn't get on with them (figured they probably wouldn't stay in my ears very well, and would be uncomfortable) so my head said it was a waste of money and I should simply take the over-ear XM3s with me.
In fact - they're brilliant. Fit very well in my ears, stay very secure and sound great. The noise cancelling isn't quite as good as my over ear XM3s in my opinion - but apart from that, they were a very pleasant surprise.

Please don't do that - you will permanently damage your hearing, and before you know it will be back here asking for hearing assistance or hearing aid device recommendations.

Limit the volume you listen at, take regular breaks from listening, and consider the type of audio content you are listening to in order to reduce your daily exposure to sound.

Interested to hear what you make of the Sennheisers - reviews weren’t stellar https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/sennheiser-cx-tru...

Max level?

Isn't that both dangerous for your ears and road safety?

With the greatest of respect, you seem to be treating your hearing very badly and almost seem proud of the fact. Max volume, hours on end, turning the music up to hear it over wind noise etc.

You absolutely will be damaging your hearing, and I can only implore you not to do this.

I damaged my hearing slightly aged 24 from being a nightclub DJ. I didn't actually damage my hearing sensitivity, but I caused tinnitus and it took me years to get over it, and to stop it affecting me mentally or disturbing my sleep. Ever since then I have been incredibly careful with my hearing.

I have friends who have damaged their hearing from rock concerts, other live music, and listening to music too loudly, and it has seriously impacted their quality of life. They now struggle to understand conversations in anything other than a quiet room, and some have had to get hearing aids.

I know you know the risks, but please do everything you can not to accelerate the process, because once your hearing has gone, it's gone, and life will be quite difficult.

I have an adapter for USB-C that gives me power in and 3.5mm audio out, I use it in the car as that only has an aux input.

Useful. Wish I had known about those before I got my adapter.

My S20 FE says 'device not recognised' when I plug my splitter in.
