Which XLR wired Lavalier

I had a Rode Lavalier, it broke. Cable not good. Ordered new one (50cm cable for 25 euro!!) didn't work either. I am done with Rode.

But now I am looking for a not-to-expensive (cheap but OK) wired Lavalier. Any suggestions?
 
COS-11. It's the "go-to"... I probably have at least eight. They're not indestructible, but they are tough. My oldest ones are probably at least decade old.
 
Oscar SoundTech. I don't know the US to Netherlands shipping and exchange rate but the New Jersey based company ships to other countries.
The 801/802 are the exact shape/size of a Tram and sounds similar. The 4mm diameter TL40 has a flatter response than the 800 series. The XLR Phantom Power supply module is available hardwired or detachable to use the mic with your favorite wireless transmitter.
Countryman mics are another option but a little more expensive. The Sanken and DPA mics are top shelf but 3-4 times the cost of an OST or a B3.

Addendum: I have some OST mics dating back to 2011 and that have held up well. OST's customer service is exceptional as well.

+1 on Oscar Sound Tech. I've used an 802 constantly for over 4 years, has held up well and no complaints on the sound quality.
