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

I like my JlabGo’s if you need a recommendation. Got em for 40 bucks (at an airport) almost three years ago and haven’t had any issues w em.

people in this thread lol

"wow it really was a scam that manufacturers removed the headphone jack from phones and essentially forced ppl to buy short-lived, inferior bluetooth models if they wanted headphones. That really sucks"

"hey you must want a recommendation for yet another random pair of bluetooth headphones"

The problem isnt the individual model of headphones, though some are certainly better than others, it's the whole enchilada, manufacturers deciding en masse that wires are no more.
