I thought it would be easy to find something this time around since I didn't need a right-angle plug (because the placement of the jack on the AGPTek player is more conducive to the usual straight-in plug), but it looks like the old-style type that don't go into the ear canal are a dying breed.

I ended up ordering these ; the brand is unfamiliar to me, but the reviews are good.
It took me several years and a few dollars to grok this, but 1) little tiny thin wires break easily, and 2) for my applications, many cheap earbuds perform and fit as well as much more expensive earbuds. So now I just try cheap ones, and if I like them, I buy several more as backup and treat them as disposable.

That's also even more true with Micro USB A/B cables, where the prices difference is even greater.
