They don’t need to be brilliant, just decent enough.

    Why not Over-ears instead of In-ears?

        Even with something like koss portapro, or sportapro? I’m a sweaty, sensitive skinned bugger, and I can wear those for hours with no irritation. Youd have to check what kind of controls they have on the model that is miked for that specific brand, but lightweight on-ear headphones with controls definitely exist, and tend to be similarly comfortable for long use.

        Which, in responding to your comment rather than making a comment the the post because there aren’t any brands I’ve run across that do what you ask. Only no-name ebay stuff that ships from China from sellers that disappear every month or two. Aliexpress has the same stuff, but I don’t use it, so I can’t help there.

        My wife prefers the apple style buds too, and finding a set that works on her tablet ended up being fruitless in terms of anything that can be named, and they’re utter junk when you find them on ebay, but they’re cheap.
