yeah sure not having a wire is nice, but two generations of earbuds from my phones own manufacturer and both pairs i get regularly dogshit audio quality, and half the time one of the buds doesn’t even work or produces barely any audio. There is no way to remedy this even after resetting the buds and the bluetooth connection. and you have to shell out 3x as much money for these things. also it’s yet another device whose charge you have to keep track of

    huh idk what I expected by that description but it was defs something more exotic than 2005-style big round buds

    Lol, I have really simple tastes in general, and I don’t really like the fit of IEMs. My daily drivers at home are a pair of large planar magnetic open backed headphones, so I also like how ‘open’ the faaeal buds sound.

    “Flat Head”, thank you! That seems to be the style. The hard round speaker casing with the foam covers just fits really nice for my ears. The problem is every pair of those style you find out in stores are really cheap crap anymore, way back the cheapo pairs felt just like the faaeal ones do to me now.
