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.
skullcandy push active are pretty great, i use them every day for 8 hours or more, and they last forever, a year or two at least (idk i haven't had them die yet). one pair went thru the washer and dryer while in their charging case, and everything still works. and they have the little ear hooks so they don't fall out when I'm working
