The I paid $25 for these pretty decent ones, they go for $60 retail. Everything was fine and then I remembered the third reason this is trash technology: the screen thingie always comes off, or gets gummed up and has to be taken ‘ off, making it sound like something I wouldn’t even pay $5 for.

If it isn’t that, earbuds will either not stay put, or I’ll lose one, just one.

I get by with cheap $15 drugstore earbuds, the thing that makes me crazy is they have capacitive controls all over their tiny surfaces so when you try to push them deeper into your ear to stop them from falling out you inevitably stop the music.
