Wireless or true wireless earbuds?

[Captain colonel]

My old earbuds broke and i have been looking into getting bluetooth pair. However, im on the fence about whether or not i should get wireless earbuds (bluetooth but theres a wire connecting the 2 buds) or true wireless (2 induvidual buds and a charging case).

So im looking for 2 things:
1. What do you think is more worth while? Wireless or true wireless?
2. If you have any recommendations of either type. My budget is about $100 USD
My main 3 concerns are battery, sound, and durability.
For reference my old pair was a skullcandy smokin buds 2, which isnt too hard to beat.

Thanks

Well I have my Sony Playstation Portable Wire ones, not so sure on how much they cost, though techincally I think I got them for around 15$, camed with a "Welcome package" that included my memory card, as well as cloths to clean the screen. But they lasted oh since I had them in 2000. Still they are pretty amazing noise cancelation too

The true wireless ones, I have are my phoax hearing aids, they did cost a bundle, though I am happy that I can finally expand my hearing abilities too I still go with wired ones, since you can pick them up after you accidently unplugged with your device

The only "true wireless" I've seen so far are either Apple Airpods or knock-off Airpods. And with the knock-offs the battery life was stated as only been 2 hours on the box.

I have wired Bluetooth IEMs, which the battery lasts all day continuously playing. Paid 200 yuan CNY, and they sound very good as well.

Still use Motorola-S11-HD Flex stereo Bluetooth ($40) and get about 10hrs play time and really High Def sound.. Been pretty reliable as well. I avoid the individual ear pieces cuz that's just more crap to easily lose..

They're just called WK BD-500 sporty wireless Bluetooth headset. I bought them locally in Jinan, and here they are on Taobao.

Don't know who sells them internationally though. I'm in China.
