i have been a skullcandy stan since like 2010, they have always been a solid budget choice and last a long time. my very favorite pair of theirs has been the Push Active. the fit, quality and price hit for me and i have used them for several years. however, the last couple pairs i had have stopped pairing, only showing up as "Tile" in the BT menu.

i replaced them with some Smokin Buds due to my tightened budget, and they worked alright for a month or so, but now there is no media audio. they still produce audio because when i put one in i get the "connected" message.

i just want a comfortable pair of earbuds for work that are sweat resistant, noise blocking, preferably with the over-ear hooks. i dont need outstanding audio quality, i primarily listen to audiobooks and podcasts while working. my budget is 50 bucks give or take.

i havent had the need to look outside of skullcandy til now, and looking at options online is very overwhelming for me. any reliable brands would even be a great starting point for me.

cheers!

Take a look at Scarbir's website he has a really extensive list of earbuds, often the more lesser known and cheaper bang for the buck brands.

Wow, thanks for that link, it's a game changer!

Oh boy I love how Lemmy thinks that we need to have a system for handling users posting relative links for some reason. But specifically for relative links that change based on the viewer's instance. Because under no circumstances will someone put in a URL without https://

This isn't a Lemmy thing per se. Lemmy just takes the URL you enter and renders it into HTML; in HTML a href without a protocol is treated as a link relative to the current domain (i.e. your instance).
