Now I have to brave the audiophile forums and talk to people who insist that spending any less than $500 on some placebo shit with a fancy case is unthinkable.
Audiophiles are funny to observe but annoying to interact with when you actually need to get useful information out of them.
I wonder what the psychology is behind that tendency to suggest the most pointless overpriced stuff. Do they all get duped into overspending and recommending otherwise requires them to admit their mistake?
The ones I'm using at the moment cost about $20 and lasted about 4 years. They were fine but now the right ear is buzzing.
Are there any other earbud users on rdrama? What sort do you have?

I might be a minority here but I hate IEMs. The ones that go into your ear canal? Just awful and uncomfortable.
I have Soundpeats Air3 earbuds. They're nice and comfy, and sit in your ear but not inside the canal itself. Some audiophile is gonna tell me I should feel the sound being injected into my brain but they're just r-slurred.
Only real downside are the touch controls. You can disable the one-touch shortcuts which I highly recommend. You need some dumb phone app to do this but it's not difficult.
Also they cost like $40 or something.

Agree tbh. I use mine for hours a day and that gets uncomfortable quickly.
