  • Yeah that comment was too concise, which often comes off as condescending according to my friends. Also I used the wrong term because I meant earbuds specifically.

    Which is not to say that earbuds all sound bad, it’s just that imo, when you’re starting to look at (especially Bluetooth) earbuds that sound on par with a good pair of, say 150€ over ear cabled headphones geared for sound quality, imo it’s too expensive for something that I’m not gonna use extensively (because I’d much rather use over ear headphones for prolonged use, if only for comfort)


  • I’m not a native English speaker so, yeah, I used the wrong term because I forgot that the word “earbuds” exists. But what I meant is simply that sound quality is not the selling point for earbuds.

    If I go for earbuds I want them to have good battery life and be comfortable because I have weirdly shaped ear canals, and I’m only going for “decent” sound because the ones that actually sound on par with a good pair of over ear headphones are like twice the price, at best. Also, yeah, wired is usually my go to for quality. My favorite so far on that front are my ATH M50X but they are not super comfortable for extended use because of my big ass ears so I’m still looking for the holy grail in that price range.
