I have the same issue; bought about three EarPods over the past three years! Now, first of all, I'm not sure if I'd have been better off with other options. Most of my friends with EarPods seem to be fine with theirs, so there's something 'off' about how I use them. On the other hand, multiple friends have had to buy new MagSafe adapters while I've never had to, so it's not just that I'm rough with all my stuff. Secondly, I went ahead and bought AirPods despite the fact that for me it's a huge price to pay for audio thingies. In hindsight, they're the best piece of technology I bought since my iPad 2. The main downside is not having the forward/backward buttons, but for me the advantages vastly outweigh the disadvantages. Third, if you're like me there's a decent change wireless might solve your problem. I have no clue if the AirPods are actually worth the price, but I've heard very good things about the Anker Sports thingies, which are also bluetooth. Might want to give those a try! By all means email me if you have any AirPod-specific questions. For what they cost me I did a ridiculous amount of research before buying them (although I do that kind of stuff for fun, so maybe the price didn't play much of a role).
