Just need a pair of wireless buds to go with my work mobile phone (iPhone).
Won't use them for running, just teleconference calls etc.
EKO brand from Big W looks like a reasonable solution.
Under $75.
Any suggestions?

Check out SoundPEATS - a number of their models are < $75.
I got the SoundPEATS TrueFree2 on Amazon for $33 on Prime Day last year.Aukey EP-T21
Received my Soundpeats Trueair 2 yesterday from the recent sale, under$40, they're surprisingly good.
I bought a pair of Soundcore Liberty Neo's when they were $59.95. Even though they're $69 now, they punch way above their weight for sound quality.
On a side note, they're comfortable and well fitting for exercise too
EDIFIER X3 $25 from aliexpress. just followed this https://www.scarbir.com/guides
Scarbir has lots of reviews, probably the best place to get impartial suggestions.
For non music my Dudios Free mini at $12 (Prime Day price) are great (especially given the price)
Thanks everyone, I have many links to check out now.
$15 (was $30)

Great for shitty conference calls. The ones where you don't want to be in but have to sit in to get paid.
If it doesn't work or cut out, even better! You have the perfect excuse "sorry I can't hear", "Bluetooth not connecting", "I'll have to restart and join later".
Also look like that cool guy but reality is on the other end people thinking you are that (profanity) with Apple earbuds that always has questions at the end of Zoom meetings and it's 12.05pm and you're cutting their lunch.
FYI Most budget wireless earbuds have a terrible mic, so people won't be able to hear you clearly in a conference call.
The ones with the wire between them with the mic and controls in it are slightly better.
If they are true wireless, you can try not putting one in your ear but holding/cupping it close to your mouth, but if your video is turned on, people might look at your weird.
Some reasonable options, but some are a tad over your budget. They usually go on sale under that figure, with exception of EarFun:
EarFun Air Pro
EarFun Air
TaoTronics-BH094
TaoTronics-BH053(Pro)
TOZO NC9
