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

And don’t ignore your phone itself. I know Sony in particular has some of the worst Bluetooth connectivity. Which is very funny because they make a fuck ton of Bluetooth headphones.
