I've got some "fancy" $20 headphones right now. I used to use $10 headphones from Miniso, but they only last a year before one ear bud will go dead.
I've had expensive headphones, and have a nice pair of Sennheisers, but really it's cheap in ear headphones most of the time for me.
They are small, and I keep them rolled up in a little pouch with a USB drive that's pretty much always in my pocket. They never need to be charged. The audio quality is good enough that unless I start listening to FLACC files on my SD, I'm never going to notice. Their wired, so no lag or syncing issues ever. If something happens to them, I have another $10 pair tucked in a drawer, plus I can always buy more.
The Steam Deck is portable, can't beat wired earbuds for portability and reliability.
Also, the mic is fine. The mic is on a wire, close to my mouth. It's simple, but it makes the audio about as good as my Sennheisers. Or at least I've never noticed.
