Can someone explain to me something about earbuds?

I’m asking cus I have some, sort of open back earbuds (not in ear canal
ones, the older type) which sound great cus apparently it’s a bass
tube, there’s a small hole on the outside of the earbuds and when I try
the ones I got with my new phone the music sounds awful, is it because
they’re closed back?
If yes, which are good ones to get that are open and not very expensive?
the ones I have (now broken) are Philips SHS3200BK
(with a flexible earhook)

Like these:

But I can’t buy them around here

Also, what are the “Aircoustics SPX 610” like? do they absolutely suck?
Here’s a pic of them:

Most headphones which come with phones are crap. They use really cheap drivers and stupidly thin cable.

Okay, think these are any good?

Also here's a translated site with some specs https://translate.google.hr/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Frozetka.com.ua%2Faircoustic_spx_610%2Fp351805%2F&edit-text=&act=url

Never heard of the company, and they look quite cheap.

It's difficult to find sports headphones like that which aren't in ear. The only ones I can find are the Philips you linked in the original post, and the JVC HAEB75B.

The Sennheiser MX series could interest you.
