Recommendations on wireless earbuds

Currently, I am using RHA-MA390 but headphone jerks messed up the delivery/repair and now the cable is cracking apart. When I told them the issue they cried tears about RHA going bankrupt and refused repair. But I digress, I am looking for a wireless earbuds preferably in-ear to go with NP1.

Budget - <6k - Will prefer it to be less than 5k.

Haven't used TWS a lot, very sparingly so I don't have much of an idea on the good options in the market that is littered with sino crap.

Only earbuds I've checked as of now is Pixel A, Nothing ear 1(didn't liked the lipstick model) and brief look at Sony and Jabra models.

Primary usage is for songs, youtube and should be comfortable during jogs.

TIA.
 
Samsung has service centres so that is covered to the extent possible.

There are two models to consider Buds Live or Buds Pro. First gen for both

The Buds live is the only TWS I'm aware of that got a decent score on iFixit because the battery can be replaced assuming you can find it.

I have both and have started using Buds Live the most. It's not full in-ear in the sense it will not isolate like your RHA or Buds Pro but it is very comfortable.

The Buds pro has better sound quality. I mostly listen to voice to the Buds live are good enough.

These are the only two decent options I can think of given your budget.

The caveat is your ears must not be too small. What size ear tip do you normally wear out of S, M, or L?

If it's L then you're good with either. If it's S then look for other options as neither will fit or be comfortable.
 
^^ I mostly wear L or XL. I don't care much about DIY repair since I don't have the tools to do that anyway, the thing I care is proper support from the brand. The expereicne with headphonezone guys hasn't been very good, they are backstabbing b* who peddles lies and deceit.

I'll prefer the product to be available at Flipkart since I have funds added to its wallet. The Samsung live isn't available on Flipkart.
 
Check out the Sony WF C500. Currently available for 3.5K INR after 1.5K INR bank discount (both on Flipkart and Amazon).

Good deal, considering it was going for 3K INR during BBD after all discounts.
