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

Can't relate. I use my Samsung buds everyday for years now. Audio is great, touch controls are incredibly useful, calls are effortless. For use during work, particularly physical work, wireless ear buds are UNBEATABLE.

I bought a pair of shitty cheap ones many years ago and they were one of the best purchases. The sound quality was shitty, and they fell out sometimes but they broke within two years so I could take them back and replace them. Of course the shop didn't have the same ones anymore so I got a refund and bought slightly more expensive ones.

They were still shitty and broke within two years. Rinse and repeat for the last ten years. I'm not getting better quality, but at least I get new ones every year or two.

I got a really nice pair when I got a motorcycle because I didn't want to deal with the wires. It's the best pair of earphones I've ever used. They cancel out all the loud wind and engine noise of the bike, have incredible sound quality, and surprisingly the Bluetooth maintains a steady connection.

These things have me in the top 1% of Spotify listeners worldwide for the past 3 years lol

I am not the motorcycle (they?). But I really love my Sennheiser momentum 4 over ears. They have fantastic sound quality and solid noise cancelling. I think the Sony wh-1000mxs still win the noise cancelling battle though.

Also to the mod who deleted my comment. I am not the motorcycle man was me gendering. MYSELF.

I'm sure you've thought about this more than I have but are you sure those ANC earbuds are providing good hearing protection? they may not be rated for that, tho certainly better than nothing

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.

So got a momax wireless but never figured it out. Charged fully and doesn't seem to even turn on. Only flashes light occassionally. Its a touch control which means no buttons that makes it even more confusing. I can't find instructions legit anywhere. Anyone have ones like this
