    I got mine pre-covid in 2019 for 30 bucks and they still hold over 4 hours playback time on a single charge and around 4-5 full charges in the charger box.

      I’m glad you have had a good experience with yours, but that’s the exception rather than the rule. I’ve been using the same pair of wired earbuds for 18 years (2004-2022), not being careful at all with them… They went through countless times in the laundry machine during my teenage years when I forgot them in the pocket and never had a problem… While both pairs of wireless earbuds I have had died within less than 18 months when I was careful with them.

      That’s why I won’t be buying wireless junk. Even if they are cheaper than they used to be, they are less reliable and become ewaste quickly due to their hard to repair designs.

      The only pair of repairable earbuds I am aware of are the galaxy buds live (the ones that look like kidney beans), but they don’t stay in my ear, so I didn’t buy it.
