Bluetooth earbuds. Took me the longest time to buy a pair. Now I have them all the time.
I thought airpods/cordless buds were stupid when they first came out, I thought I would instantly lose the buds. now I canβt live without them.
Audiophile headphones are my hype good. I have a pair of Sony xm3 noise cancelling, and they're very nice and very useful. I have some nice Jabra earbuds, and they're very convenient and sound pretty good too.
But... Man. Nice headphones with a nice amp and dac, with nice recordings. It's just incomparable in quality. On the bt stuff you get left and right. But on the audiophile stuff you get close, far, left, right, behind, soft, punchy, up, down, and it all sounds even better. And no compression artifacting! No garble, no batteries, no waiting to connect, and they'll last decades as daily drivers and then have replaceable parts even after that.
Also, nice speakers are worth the hype. Just buy real studio monitors like a pair of Yamaha hs8's. You'll never need to upgrade pc speakers ever.
Sammmme. I was so against having to charge headphones to listen to them. No idea they would last as long as they did on one charge and my god do they perform well.
