All I want is a great sound set of wireless headphones for the cheapest price. Why is this so hard.

I've tried:
PowerBeats 3 - Love the form factor, the controls, the fit. Despise the sound - too much bass too little mid-range. Rememebr when you first hear Meth's Tical album on a megabass boombox - that's what they sounded like.

Apple AirPods - Got them last night. they sound great. Hate:No controls on them - it's a deal breaker.

Uses: Wearing while hiking - so wireless would be best. Needs to have controls (play/pause/next track/previous track/volume up/volume down.) In ear or almost in ear is better - no traditional headphone

Sound quality #1. Durability #2. Battery life #3. Looks #5.The cheaper the better.

Even a pair of fake/clone PowerBeats would work - they just have to sound better than real ones.

"Sound good" to me is Apple Earpod level or better. (That should be easy to best.)

Prefer to spend less than $100 - would spend $200 on a near perfect pair.

I'm interested in ones you have actually tried and liked - there are a million articles on the net - but I've found those reviewers often have wildly different standards than people I know in real life.
