Looking for good wired earphone with mic

What's your budget?
Earlier last year when I was looking for a non-IEM pair, the only ones I found were these https://www.headphonezone.in/products/venture-electronics-monk-plus (that were not prohibitively expensive for me). They're ok, great for calls, but nothing earth shattering in music audio. They are mostly even though, not to heavy on treble or bass.

Something better in terms of audio quality
Nothing specific, can spend more to get better audio experience
Are there premium choices in same design? Different brand works too
As far as I could tell, no. My favourite of this type used to be the Sennheiser MX265/275, I forgot the exact number, but that's no longer available. On the whole, these seem to have gone the way of the compact phone. Not enough of a demand left to continue making them I guess.

I have these as well, really not great sound quality imo. And not talking about not having excess bass, I hate the overt bass tuning in most stuff these days. They're exceptionally low on bass and sound very tinny imo. But cheap enough to give it a try I guess.

Have you tried before?
They produce the most balanced sound stage imo. Mic quality is excellent.
There are only two problems with these :-
- Lack of any noise cancelling.
- Dusty environment can block it's air vents, which can make the sound quality go down over time.

I'd suggest taking a look at the Nicehck YDK earbuds: https://conceptkart.com/products/nicehck-ydx-earphone
Priced at under 1K INR, it comes with a removable cable (which is a major relief as it will not be a e-waste once the stock cable gives up) and a mild V-shaped sound signature.
On the other hand, if you want something better (sonically), then the Yincrow X6 should be a worthy purchase: https://conceptkart.com/products/yincrow-x6-wired-earphone?variant=40365074546762
Keep in mind that the X6 does not come with a removable cable, which can be a bummer, but the sound signature more than makes up for it, with some calling it the BLON 03 of the earbuds world.
Both come in-line mics that you can use for calls.
