every earbud i’ve bought in the past year has fucking sucked

i’m actually at a loss. oh my god. 2024 was my worst year ever, including in my earbud purchases.

first it was raycons… i know, bad idea from the start. i kinda had it coming. but, lucky me, they didn’t break - they got stolen from me by my junkie ex friend. then, i got tozo earbuds? tovo? idk what they’re called, but the audio quality was awful and they were unbelievably uncomfortable. i returned them within a week. then, it was skullcandy mods that got chewed up by my dog (which i didn’t exactly complain about because the audio on one earbud was painfully quieter than the other). and now skullcandy dime evos that i just returned. because they didn’t do their one job, pairing with my device….

guys what do i do ? i have $53 for earbuds. i just need something nice and sustainable and whatever
