Hahahaha instead of these overpriced Bluetooth crap, buy a wired earphones for a fraction of the price and enjoy! I heard moondrop chu, cca cra+, 7hz salnotes etc are cheap and sound good.

Fuck dongles though which you’re stuck having to use with almost any phone these days. I’ve bought cheap ones in a pack and neither lasted more than two days, not to mention the awful sound quality. And the “good” ones barely last more than six months if you’re lucky. If headphone jacks weren’t a thing of the past I’d tend to agree with you.

What are these "good ones" you are referring to? Apple usb c dongle is considered great for most use cases

I have gone through three apple ones in the last year. They work great until they don’t. But they have been the best, along with the google brand one I had with my pixel 3 before that. I will admit that I have a very fast paced job and it is more wear and tear than a normal person would probably put on one. But when I had a jack on my phone I never went through earbuds as quickly as I have gone through dongles and I always bought relatively cheap earbuds.
