Sent my earbuds through the wash and now the left one is dead. Any recommendations for earbuds? I have an iPhone, but not necessarily locked into having to get AirPods.

I should follow up with the detail that I prefer something that fits well with movement. I wear them while exercising and sometimes hitting golf balls.

And I do prefer something that sounds good. And ones I can easily join work calls with and not sound like I'm calling in from outer space.

Nice. The ones I had that bit the dust were Jabra Elite 75t. Generally didn't have any issues with them in terms of sound, the only consistent issue I had was phone losing connection or not defaulting to them with an incoming call. Phone would default to handset and I would find myself fumbling to get an earbud out of my ear and reaching for phone to answer

I actually have those too! The sound quality is much better and I don't have connection issues with these.

Are they completely smooth with ear holes? No folds? Kind of like a funnel?

I remember Jorge incepted Sennheiser into my brain more than a decade ago, and now here I am getting my ears gently fucked by the sweet sounds of Kraut technology.
