The cords constantly rub against my shirt, no matter how much I pin or twist them out of the way, so I ultimately hear nothing but cord noise

I prefer corded ear buds like these to bluetooth or anything with a battery, but that would eliminate the cord noise if that bothers you.

Cord noise from rubbing is not bad on these

They're the same price and have a slightly annoying issue with the irregular L/R cable lengths but the sound quality is at least 10x better than these.

I like how the R and L are easy to see

and It's as strong as I first bought It
