That is actually something I used to do! When I was a 00 I put pens and pencils in them, and now I thread wires through them at a 20 and they don’t get caught like they used to.
I got a cybernetic enhancement so my gauges charge the dinner plates. Unfortunately now I can't charge any other earbuds. Thankfully I know Microsoft won't abandon these and will only improve on the design over the next 50 years... what?! It's not funny... 😞
Tbf, his viewers aren’t done with them. He’s a great reviewer, so it makes perfect financial sense. And the quality of the videos haven’t gone down, so I don’t mind at all
We all know they are bad, but we all wonder how bad they currently are. My main beef with them is that sometimes they disconnect and take a while to reconnect again...
I've had these since 2020 and they are stinking great for work. I use them 2-10 hours a day for phone calls, podcasts, books, online meetings; pretty much everything but music because they just don't have any low end. That hiss sound he was talking about was fixed with a firmware update. The microphone does not sound bad for me, either because of the firmware or because of android idk.
@@firstNamelastName-ho6lv APTX support is defined by your chipset. If you have a Mediatek or Exynos you're no better off than an iPhone in this regard.
I may be in the minority here, but I'd love to see a video dedicated to an in depth look at proprietary cables over the years. Personally, I loved mini usb. And I would love to hear about why it sucks.
Some of my old stuff has proprietary cables, which were normal to me back then, but seem like total freaks now. For instance, my DS Lite has a cable that was only ever used for that particular model, not even any other type of DS. Then there's a 3rd gen iPod touch, which has the Apple 30 pin. My Galaxy Tab 8.9 from 2012 has Samsung's 30 pin (like the Apple one but with some bits swapped) and is my newest device with a proprietary port.
Mini USB was great. Micro USB was a fragile abomination by comparison, only benefit was being a bit smaller to fit into our ever smaller and sleeker devices. But as is the case with Micro USB today for a while using Mini USB was a sign that the device was being made as cheap as possible as the chips and connectors cost less than the newer micro ones, which is why all the nuggets used it for soooo long
Mini USB is way to big for modern electronics. Plus I can't handle all the extra stuff that USB C can like video out or Power Delivery (PD) so ya mini USB sucks.
Are you talking about mini USB or micro USB? Mini USB is pretty fat for nowadays and only goes in one way. Micro sucked ass so C is obviously superior.
As an Australian and audio enjoyer, perhaps you are well qualified to talk about headphones that are comfortable to wear in the heat. I always find that my headphones insulate my ears to the point of misery, but working without them isn't an option and I don't like putting things in my ears. Any ideas for headphone features that are more comfortable to wear in hot weather?
@@sofastuffing those are pretty damn nice tbh. You can definitely get a non prescribed clear frame. The problem is that your music is going to leak out so it really depends on what you are doing. It's nice for a walk down the street, loud but not too loud environments. It's just funny because I always say "hold on I can't hear you" then take the glasses off. It's a good chuckle with the coworkers.
Fun fact: in order to get good, deep bass, fit is everything. Regardless of the earbuds: if your ear tips don’t fit well, you will hear drastically less bass. Any personal audio product that boasts about “not blocking you from the outside world” will not product good bass. This is why things like bone conduction buds and the Bose sunglasses sound so thin. This is also why leather(ette) ear pads for headphones are so popular these days. Fabric, velour or other materials reduce bass, while thick leather like material helps keep it in. On both iems and headphones, changing ear tips or ear pads can totally transform the sound for this reason.
@@ferrumignis its very difficult to get a good and consistent fit with earbuds simply because they dont have a silicone or foam tip that adheres to the inside of your ear and seals around it, so you can actually have a different percieved sound if one of your earbuds is angled slightly differently. Thats not what you want
we got the Samsung beans, we got a literal bean by Sony, donuts by Sony and now uhhh. they look like the part of a stethoscope which you put it on the body. tbh this is the first time I'm hearing about these buds
I just love how you get no judgement from Wade in his headphones reviews. Even if he thinks they're terrible, he still acknowledges that there'll be an situation where they'll be ideal for someone else! Love this guy!
@@Code7Unltd i absolutely agree, actually right after that video i bought a pair of Taotronics Soundliberty 79, that was 2 years ago and they have been my daily drivers ever since, best 40 bucks I've spent
I was so happy to see the title of this weeks video. We have these at work and boy do they stink. You wouldn't believe how many higher-ups demanded we start supporting Microsoft Surface Tablets and the likes since they "are the best in the business". Of course, they HAD to have the Earbuds with their fancy tablets as well (and not just because they didn't have an earphone jack). Well the short of it is, they all hated them and now we've got shelves full of MS Surface products that no one wants.
@@HooLeePhucingSheet Oh it's much worse. We bought the tablets only. Then one or two of them started asking about the buds and the thing about higher-ups, they're like goblins. If one guy has shiny, they ALL want shiny.
A teacher told me they were deployed Surfaces for Covid remote learning, they overheated while running a sustained Zoom session. The IT guy's solution was bendy USB fans. I personally never liked the wireless radios, and the flappy keyboards and cranked up scaling errors really didn't come off well. They are sealed up like iPads despite having a modular SSD and plenty of chunk for open compartments. I would often discourage people from buying them.
for a kinda open back earbud experience I gotta recommend the Bose soundsport! Now discontinued and I haven't tried the new version but I've had my original pair for years and they're one of the only buds that fit my ears nicely and you can still hear the outside world
the static noise comes them switching to an alternate protocol for phone calls. Bluetooth implements two separate protocols for audio, TCS (also know as the "walkie-talkie protocol") for telephony and AVDTP for general-purpose audio. some devices only support TCS so Bluetooth audio equipment will usually expose both protocols; that's why, say, Beats headphones show up as two separate devices on Windows. the static noise occurs when the device microphone is being used because only TCS supports audio input
Oh boy I'm so excited for the plushies! I can't believe how good the fronk plush looks! And even without the merch aspect to it it's still an amazing plush!
The C to A cables I don't mind since everything that I would plug into to is a ryobi jobsite radio that came out like 12 years ago or a Powerboard from a hardware store.
I still love my beans a year+ later! If you get them for noise canceling you're gonna have a bad time but if you're looking for comfy buds(when you finally figure out how theyre supposed to sit in your ear) and still wanna have some spatial awareness(like at work), these are for you!
I wanted to love these so bad cause I really loved how much like cool earrings they looked but wow. 3 pairs I got had dead batteries on arrival and the last one broke after a single month of usage, the dinnerplate started twisting itself loose and ripping the whole innards apart. Genuinely super sad cause I really did love their look.
3:02 The new AirPod Pros are very, very good. The noise cancellation is insane and the frequency response is incredibly well tuned. I was blown away at how low they can get and how much better they sound than the first generation. You should definitely pick up a pair and review
@@HooLeePhucingSheet imagine trying to be different so bad that you hate on products just because they come from a popular superior brand lmfao. We get it, you have trouble tying your own shoes in the morning and being incapable of understanding what makes a product good causes you to feel like an impotent little toddler
I have had them since day one and they are truly amazing. Compared to my gen 1 airpod pros the sound is decently better. Not like amazing better, but it’s noticeable. But the noise cancelling is freaking out of this world, same with the passthrough transparency mode.
What I really want to see is non-eartip high end earbuds, like properly, with removable iem style cables. I got the kaybees and while they sound phenomenal, I miss the apple dingus earpod fit. Or better yet, swappable tips that can go right on a normal IEM rubber tip barb.
@@Melon-ny2cl FUCK, that's exactly the sort of thing I wanted, I had no clue these existed! Shit! thanks for telling me, but also, FUCK I already spent money!
@@Melon-ny2cl actually, do you know of any other models? I may have blown my audio budget for fall already, but I want to shop around for my winter budget. But I'm running into the same issue as when I first looked for some earbuds, cause none of hte search terms are working
@@Melon-ny2cl now I'm finding something called "half in-ear" which looks interesting, but I still can't find any being reliably sold. super lost here lol
In the world of "open back" TWS buds, my Oladance Wearable Stereos (which have a very Chinese designer-y name) are pretty excellent- better than the Sony LinkBuds TBH. Worth checking out if it's what you need! Far from perfect, but better than you think
I actually think iPhones Bluetooth is a little wonky. I had made a voice recording for a review of a cheap ($30) headset that sounded like it was wired. Also, just made a voice recording on my current Jlabs, I think $50, sounds wired. First recording was on a Galaxy S9 2 years ago and current phone is S21. It might be worth it to try a different device for the mic tests.
About that Toshiba laptop - these have a CMOS (time backup) battery in them that leaks and ruins them. I haven’t seen the extra videos (I’ve gotta get in supporting you!) but you’ve really got to get that battery out if you’re planning on keeping it running.
I LOVE my beans! The noise cancelling works great for white noises such as idle trucks, traffic noise. Don't expect isolated noise cancelling. It removes and quiets down there outside world without completely detaching you.
Some really cool earbuds you should check out are the philips she6000. I had them as a kid and to this day I haven't found better, at least for the price range. Super awesome headphones that were reasonably high tech for the price
We have surface laptops for work and we had a choice between the surface headphones and surface buds, I picked the buds. I don't have the hissing problem when I connect them to my work laptop But what I connect them to my phone or another computer they hiss then!! 😂 I think they just get mad when you make them talk to non-microsoft products. And yeah I've listened to teams meetings were I'm talking and I sound worse than anyone else. They are super comfortable though so I don't really regret my choice. I can wear them all day without my ears feeling gummy or my head hurting.
There might be an issue with windows when you use wireless earbuds sometimes they are put as hands free, and you get that static and in general lower quality audio because windows reserves badwidth for audio in. So it is cut in half but i also causes a feedback loop of data so hissing can be heard
I saw DankPods posted, clicked on the video, sat through the ads, and watched for 2 minutes before even seeing what the video was about. That's how you know, man.
One of my coworkers got the Beans for free with his phone, and got that phone free with his phone plan. For free dirty buds, the beans are truly exceptional.
My choice for buds like this are the Sony link buds. They with great for being so work, I'm even using them right now. I've seen them as low as 60 bucks new on eBay, which is a steal for them. Best used with adjustments created by auto eq.
Completely agree with you. Bought the linkbuds so I could listen to music on my bicycle without reducing my awareness of my surroundings. The first time I wore them instead of the in ears I used before I was amazed by what I could hear, I could even hear my watch band jingling when I went over a small bump in the road.
The few moments of silence at the start of your videos always make me freak out and think my headphones are broken... despite the fact I usually have other noise playing through them at the same time.
Hey there, sorry to bother. I have a dying set of Bose quiet comfort 25's that need replacing, and after seeing your comment found the discounted Bose 700 for 170 on another site, what do you think if them?
@@bendoesmtb the noise cancelling is really good. Better then the sony wh1000xm3 ive had before but havent compared to the xm4 or 5 which i know are highly rated. Headphones have a great seal around them so even passive they block a lot of sound. There's 10 levels of noise cancelling. The headband is a single piece of metal and as a have a large head I do find the clamping of my ears is a little firm. I'm hoping this will give a little after I've worn them for a bit. Touch controls are nice and accurate. Build quality wise they do feel a little more fragile than my old Sony's which I used to always just throw about. These go into their hardcase after every use. Sound quality wise, they arent 350 quid headphones. I'd go for the xm4's if I wanted to pay North of 300 but if you can get them for less than 200, they are great. Bass is punchy without being woofy. Mids are strong but with some higher frequencies I've found to be a little over bearing on some early 2000 trance/dance songs but modern pop and soft rock (greenday etc) they sound great. Really good for films aswell, not quite as good as my DT770 80ohm but I can walk around without dangling 10ft of cable and a DAC.
I'm glad you reviewed these lol. I was an early adopter of them. Got them on release. For the most part, I do really like them. I agree with basically everything; except the buzz. I don't have buzz. But the case. If you give the case a 1/10, I'm going 0/10. I hate the case more than I've ever hated anything. Lately, when I slot the right ear bud in, it blinks red. Now, according to the manual, that means ERROR. WHAT ERROR? Are the pins not lined up? is the battery dead? No idea. When it happens, I usually have to shuffle it around for minutes at a time. Eventually, it will work. I have no idea what the problem is. I thought maybe I somehow greased one of the charging pads with either sweat (i wear them during workouts) or earwax. I've cleaned it thoroughly. No idea. I hate it SO much. For the people that ask, I got them early due to the comfort aspect. I can't wear most earbuds. But when you learn how to lock these things into your ear (and there is a learning curve), they are so comfortable.
Interesting new earbuds dropped recently, the soundcore VR P10. It's supposed to be super low latency earbuds for the quest 2 VR headset and it comes with it's own dongle. I'd love to see you do a review on them even if you don't use vr. It comes with bluetooth as well and I'd love to see what happens if you stick the dongle in a PC or mac or phone even though it's intended for a vr headset.
You can see someone in Starbucks now, working with a surface laptop, wearing surface bud and code using ms vscode and google using ms edge, while wearing a ms holo lens... It's truly an all Microsoft experience 😂
I've got 1 eye closed because I'm super drunk and I saw you pull up those K • 401 headphones... I legitimately thought those earphones in the background on your iPad were actual kidney beans.
Okay not gonna lie. The moment I heard that "crunchy" audio from the mic from the Microsoft earbuds, it sounded like either a zoom business call or Windows 2000's Skype calls. I'm not kidding, sounded like we went back to nostalgia.
I have no justifiable reason, but I found myself actually enjoying the sound of the plates more. I dunno, the crunchiness was more appealing compared to the generic muffled buds
I've owned three pairs of wireless earbuds. Nothing premium, the most expensive ones were $50. But what puts me off of buying expensive ones is all three of mine broke within a month. In the same way one of the buds stopped charging. I just don't trust expensive buds to have fixed that issue
get a pair of AirPods, genuinely buying quality from it, in every aspect of the purchase. Apple didn't cheap out on the case design, charging capability (wireless charging for the case, consistent charge, good battery life), and everything else. The sound quality is more than serviceable for wireless headphones and will likely not break on you unless you treat it like crap. I've dropped mine dozens of times, and it still works perfectly. After over a year, the charging and battery life is about as great as it was on day one. (I have Gen 3 AirPods, but the Gen 1 AirPod Pros and Gen 2 are just as great. Gen 2 will also give you a great purchase for a bit cheaper too.)
The expensive ones, at least the AirPods and Beats, don’t have this problem. Well, eventually they will ofcourse. But not within the first 2 years. Battery-health is a real problem with these small products, especially since they always go back into the charging and won’t turn off outside of the case. So always be prepared to throw these things out after 3 years. Unless you are willing to try and open these small electronics, which 95% of people won’t.

3:02 The new AirPod Pros are very, very good. The noise cancellation is insane and the frequency response is incredibly well tuned. I was blown away at how low they can get and how much better they sound than the first generation. You should definitely pick up a pair and review
Too bad- apple still grabbing people by the balls.
He already has, no?
@@ashfreywar9862 He directly said in the video that he has not picked up a pair yet
@@HooLeePhucingSheet imagine trying to be different so bad that you hate on products just because they come from a popular superior brand lmfao. We get it, you have trouble tying your own shoes in the morning and being incapable of understanding what makes a product good causes you to feel like an impotent little toddler
@@HCG lmfao yeah go ahead and delete that, you big baby.
4:30 I had to rewind cause I didn’t hear what he was saying cause I was doing it lmao.
"They look like crocs!"
They are the crocbuds!
This is why im excited about the emergence of 2.4ghz wireless earbuds. The microphone quality should improve quite a bit.
people are saying the ANC and the passthrough on the new airpods are amazing, so I'm eagerly awaiting your impressions
I have had them since day one and they are truly amazing. Compared to my gen 1 airpod pros the sound is decently better. Not like amazing better, but it’s noticeable. But the noise cancelling is freaking out of this world, same with the passthrough transparency mode.
What I really want to see is non-eartip high end earbuds, like properly, with removable iem style cables. I got the kaybees and while they sound phenomenal, I miss the apple dingus earpod fit.
Or better yet, swappable tips that can go right on a normal IEM rubber tip barb.
Probably not exactly what you want but flathead IEMs do exist with removable cable like the TRN EMA or EMX
@@Melon-ny2cl FUCK, that's exactly the sort of thing I wanted, I had no clue these existed! Shit!
thanks for telling me, but also, FUCK I already spent money!
@@Melon-ny2cl actually, do you know of any other models? I may have blown my audio budget for fall already, but I want to shop around for my winter budget. But I'm running into the same issue as when I first looked for some earbuds, cause none of hte search terms are working
@@Melon-ny2cl now I'm finding something called "half in-ear" which looks interesting, but I still can't find any being reliably sold. super lost here lol
I love binging this channel, resisting all urges to watch it for a couple months, and then binging a few months worth of dankpods.
Your videos got me thruu school.
Love your channel.
Even if you don't commet on my commet or like. (dank pods)
Still love your channel.
In the world of "open back" TWS buds, my Oladance Wearable Stereos (which have a very Chinese designer-y name) are pretty excellent- better than the Sony LinkBuds TBH. Worth checking out if it's what you need! Far from perfect, but better than you think
Yes! The sounds is very nice and super comfortable
I actually think iPhones Bluetooth is a little wonky. I had made a voice recording for a review of a cheap ($30) headset that sounded like it was wired. Also, just made a voice recording on my current Jlabs, I think $50, sounds wired. First recording was on a Galaxy S9 2 years ago and current phone is S21. It might be worth it to try a different device for the mic tests.
“Garboleum” has now been added to my vocabulary.
I didn't know Microsoft made earbuds until now! Thanks for letting me know about the WEIRDEST MP3 players and headphones and all that!
Try the surface headphones 2. The controls are second to none! Love the dials!
About that Toshiba laptop - these have a CMOS (time backup) battery in them that leaks and ruins them. I haven’t seen the extra videos (I’ve gotta get in supporting you!) but you’ve really got to get that battery out if you’re planning on keeping it running.
Dankpods rambling about earphones makes me happy for some reason.
I find it impossible to be a "huge windows microsoft guy" because even when they make something nice they turn around to screw us later.
Dankman is cranking out the uploads and I'm digging it
3:45 aduhhh
You could still get a pet mouse and use the case as a food bowl for it, until you forget to buy food for Frank.
You've shown this about a YEAR AGO. I've been waiting for a while for this 😂
7:08
I can think of something better. FLEX SEAL!
Another Australian hood classic🙏🏽
I LOVE my beans! The noise cancelling works great for white noises such as idle trucks, traffic noise. Don't expect isolated noise cancelling. It removes and quiets down there outside world without completely detaching you.
You're the reason I spent my allowance on DT770 Pros. Thank you for everything.
Some really cool earbuds you should check out are the philips she6000. I had them as a kid and to this day I haven't found better, at least for the price range. Super awesome headphones that were reasonably high tech for the price
6:51 do you mean 'spray on shoes' from cloudy with a chance of meatballs?
6:21 you really resurrected that gif from the grave, i had completely forgot about it
I love how his stories don’t make any sense but somehow make perfect sense.
We have surface laptops for work and we had a choice between the surface headphones and surface buds, I picked the buds.
I don't have the hissing problem when I connect them to my work laptop
But what I connect them to my phone or another computer they hiss then!! 😂
I think they just get mad when you make them talk to non-microsoft products. And yeah I've listened to teams meetings were I'm talking and I sound worse than anyone else.
They are super comfortable though so I don't really regret my choice. I can wear them all day without my ears feeling gummy or my head hurting.
There might be an issue with windows when you use wireless earbuds sometimes they are put as hands free, and you get that static and in general lower quality audio because windows reserves badwidth for audio in. So it is cut in half but i also causes a feedback loop of data so hissing can be heard
I saw DankPods posted, clicked on the video, sat through the ads, and watched for 2 minutes before even seeing what the video was about. That's how you know, man.
"Be as tough as the road mate" - Words to live by, Cheers for the video mate.
One of my coworkers got the Beans for free with his phone, and got that phone free with his phone plan.
For free dirty buds, the beans are truly exceptional.
2:49 seeing your own native language pages getting ripped off and thrown away 🥹
tragic
My choice for buds like this are the Sony link buds. They with great for being so work, I'm even using them right now. I've seen them as low as 60 bucks new on eBay, which is a steal for them. Best used with adjustments created by auto eq.
Completely agree with you. Bought the linkbuds so I could listen to music on my bicycle without reducing my awareness of my surroundings. The first time I wore them instead of the in ears I used before I was amazed by what I could hear, I could even hear my watch band jingling when I went over a small bump in the road.
I didn't even noticed the quality of the Surface Buds. I was just immersed in that story.
The few moments of silence at the start of your videos always make me freak out and think my headphones are broken... despite the fact I usually have other noise playing through them at the same time.
DINNER PLATES 1:51
Just picked up the Bose Noise cancelling 700 in the UK in the Amazon sale for £170. I'm impressed at that price point. Wouldn't pay 300+ though
Hey there, sorry to bother. I have a dying set of Bose quiet comfort 25's that need replacing, and after seeing your comment found the discounted Bose 700 for 170 on another site, what do you think if them?
@@bendoesmtb the noise cancelling is really good. Better then the sony wh1000xm3 ive had before but havent compared to the xm4 or 5 which i know are highly rated. Headphones have a great seal around them so even passive they block a lot of sound. There's 10 levels of noise cancelling.
The headband is a single piece of metal and as a have a large head I do find the clamping of my ears is a little firm. I'm hoping this will give a little after I've worn them for a bit.
Touch controls are nice and accurate.
Build quality wise they do feel a little more fragile than my old Sony's which I used to always just throw about. These go into their hardcase after every use.
Sound quality wise, they arent 350 quid headphones. I'd go for the xm4's if I wanted to pay North of 300 but if you can get them for less than 200, they are great. Bass is punchy without being woofy. Mids are strong but with some higher frequencies I've found to be a little over bearing on some early 2000 trance/dance songs but modern pop and soft rock (greenday etc) they sound great. Really good for films aswell, not quite as good as my DT770 80ohm but I can walk around without dangling 10ft of cable and a DAC.
@@reecedrury4145 thank you!
THE VIDEO IS FINALLY HERE I REMEMBER YOU SAYING YOU HAD NO WORDS TO THESE FOREVER AGO
I feel the “beans” are exactly what $50 Bluetooth earbuds should get you
I'm glad you reviewed these lol. I was an early adopter of them. Got them on release. For the most part, I do really like them. I agree with basically everything; except the buzz. I don't have buzz. But the case. If you give the case a 1/10, I'm going 0/10. I hate the case more than I've ever hated anything. Lately, when I slot the right ear bud in, it blinks red. Now, according to the manual, that means ERROR. WHAT ERROR? Are the pins not lined up? is the battery dead? No idea. When it happens, I usually have to shuffle it around for minutes at a time. Eventually, it will work. I have no idea what the problem is. I thought maybe I somehow greased one of the charging pads with either sweat (i wear them during workouts) or earwax. I've cleaned it thoroughly. No idea. I hate it SO much.
For the people that ask, I got them early due to the comfort aspect. I can't wear most earbuds. But when you learn how to lock these things into your ear (and there is a learning curve), they are so comfortable.
Every time I see a Microsoft product unboxed, I can just _feel_ the little brother energy. They want to be Apple *so badly.*
They’re crap, I’d prefer Apple and Samsung forever
yea, microsoft has never made good hardware
Mikey soft is the funniest word I've ever heard
I love your videos, the best part is what you say during the mike demos. pure gold my friend!
Interesting new earbuds dropped recently, the soundcore VR P10. It's supposed to be super low latency earbuds for the quest 2 VR headset and it comes with it's own dongle. I'd love to see you do a review on them even if you don't use vr. It comes with bluetooth as well and I'd love to see what happens if you stick the dongle in a PC or mac or phone even though it's intended for a vr headset.
You can see someone in Starbucks now, working with a surface laptop, wearing surface bud and code using ms vscode and google using ms edge, while wearing a ms holo lens... It's truly an all Microsoft experience 😂
Yet Microsoft is complaining that they aren't a big enough company.
Msvscode 😂
I've got 1 eye closed because I'm super drunk and I saw you pull up those K • 401 headphones...
I legitimately thought those earphones in the background on your iPad were actual kidney beans.
Next we are getting full on screens on our ears
I named my airpods "Samsung Beans" because of you
Okay not gonna lie. The moment I heard that "crunchy" audio from the mic from the Microsoft earbuds, it sounded like either a zoom business call or Windows 2000's Skype calls.
I'm not kidding, sounded like we went back to nostalgia.
And you thought the beans were weird looking.
I have no justifiable reason, but I found myself actually enjoying the sound of the plates more. I dunno, the crunchiness was more appealing compared to the generic muffled buds

2:26 Good to see you still showing all due respect.
Yay! DankPods uploaded! 😁 (liked this within an hour but had to save to watch later and come back. Life happened)
I've owned three pairs of wireless earbuds. Nothing premium, the most expensive ones were $50. But what puts me off of buying expensive ones is all three of mine broke within a month. In the same way one of the buds stopped charging. I just don't trust expensive buds to have fixed that issue
get a pair of AirPods, genuinely buying quality from it, in every aspect of the purchase.
Apple didn't cheap out on the case design, charging capability (wireless charging for the case, consistent charge, good battery life), and everything else. The sound quality is more than serviceable for wireless headphones and will likely not break on you unless you treat it like crap. I've dropped mine dozens of times, and it still works perfectly. After over a year, the charging and battery life is about as great as it was on day one. (I have Gen 3 AirPods, but the Gen 1 AirPod Pros and Gen 2 are just as great. Gen 2 will also give you a great purchase for a bit cheaper too.)
the more expensive buds tend to have a warranty for them if they stop working randomly. Ive got Airpod 3s and theyre the best !
The expensive ones, at least the AirPods and Beats, don’t have this problem.
Well, eventually they will ofcourse. But not within the first 2 years.
Battery-health is a real problem with these small products, especially since they always go back into the charging and won’t turn off outside of the case.
So always be prepared to throw these things out after 3 years. Unless you are willing to try and open these small electronics, which 95% of people won’t.
