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 stole 20 dollar skullcandy airpods from Walmart and they still work 2 months later surprisingly. Sounds as decent as airpods too

Skullcandy is the best cheap brand, I find

its been that way for ages too lol, hardly gonna pass audiophile muster but if you don't mind bass out the wazoo they've been the standard decent in-store brand for >10 years now. I'd still go for the wired ones tho. or go online for moondrops, those things will blow anything in their price range out of the water. Harder to shoplift them from china tho

Still not as bassy as the Bose headsets people always try to tell me are the best
