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 also highly prefer wired. If that’s not an option, the best compromise I’ve found so far is a model where the two actual earbuds are wired together and they only connect to your device via bluetooth. It’s a short cable, so you can very comfortably wear it behind your neck so you don’t have worry about them falling out or losing them. Decent sound too and they’ve lasted more than a year so far despite being cheap compared to other bluetooth earbuds
yeah those things are fuckin great compared to individual buds
