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

True fact I have a pair of MDR-7506s that I use for all headphone-related purposes. No bluetooth ear bud can hope to compete.

The ear pads disintegrate so quickly on those. I modified mine to have a detachable cable since the coiled one was so long

Agreed, I replaced the pads on mine with higher quality ones almost immediately.
