I went through several pairs of crappy wireless headphones until I gave in and got airpods, which just work.

Wired headphones also just work, don't need to be charged, and are much cheaper. AirPods are a strict downgrade from normal wired headphones, and it is insane to me that people are willing to pay for them.

Except when they get stuck in the treadmill and yank the cord out of the headphone. Wired headphones for working out and jogging are a nightmare.

For a year, and then the internal battery is useless.

They are engineered like consumables. Utter insanity. For over $100.

I've been wearing my AirPods pro since Covid with no issues.
