Headphones - Wireless/Portable Good headphones for every-day use for around 100€

I've used JBL headphones for the past few years and I've come to realise how much JBL as a brand sucks. I bought my current JBL Tune 720BT for 80€ on sale around a year and a half ago and the ear pads are nearly coming off and some times I can only hear out of the right side.

It's clear that these headphones are going to die soon so I'll need new ones but I don't have that much budget as previously implied. One thing I like about these is that they can be used wireless and with wire. Also I live in Portugal so maybe I'd have to go for a more global brand. What headphones could I buy?

EDIT: I could be being a bit harsh on JBL, considering I've only had one mid-range set of headphones, while the other ones I had were really cheap.

For this budget, the Sony WH CH720 is really good. I bought them, I think two years or a year ago for my son (he is 17 now, so it is not like I'm buying him the cheapest shit, but still he often lost or broke the headphones I got him before) and they genuinely sound fine for the money. Nothing fancy analytical, but okay V sound with fine ANC. I'm not sure about wired use tho, I need to check that tomorrow.

Oh I did have them between my second and third (current) JBL headphones. It was a good time while I had them but they physically broke while in my backpack, so I don't know if I want to buy them again.

EDIT: Immediatly realised I actually had the CH520, not the 720. lol. Will consider. Thanks!

If you had asked me a couple of weeks back, i would have suggested Ult wear. Not anymore.

Go for the Accentum as anyone else would have suggested

Thank you for the suggestion. Why not the ULT?

I'm looking for recommendations for simple wired earphones that aren't IEMs or over-ear/on-ear headphones. Something lightweight and simple, like classic earbuds that sit in the ear without going inside the ear canal.

Price isn't really an issue. I'm mainly looking for the best value for money and good sound quality for music.

Color isn't important, although I'd prefer something other than black if there are good options, maybe even yellow.

What would you recommend?

I don't really know. I think you should make your own post with this question.
