But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

      What a lame answer. Are you this lame in real life? There’s OBVIOUSLY a HUGE spectrum of quality for iems, WHAT are you talking about? It’s a valid question on the ops part. You wanted to be snobby but it’s just a bad take that reveals how judgdy and smug and completely out of touch you are. Nobody thinks of you as cool, you don’t have friends IRL, I hope your dog dies. I hate the internet fuck you you’re the straw that broke the camels back. Would be a pretty cool place if people like you weren’t in it. I quit

        Personally I don’t really give a fuck about headphones quality unless it’s particularly shitty, because if I want quality I’m using one of my headsets (preferably one that doesn’t use Bluetooth), but ok.

          headphones… headset

          Perhaps we have different definitions of those words. Imo, a headset is over-hear (or on-ear) headphones + mic, like you’d see in a call center. Sometimes they only have a speaker on one side, and they’re tuned for speech, not music or general listening.

          Headphones, on the other hand, are any kind of speakers you wear on your head. They’re usually on ear or over ear since in-ear is typically further distinguished by the term earbuds.

          Headphones are usually the better sounding of the three. My Bluetooth headphones (Sony over-ear cans) sound way better than any earbuds I’ve used, and my wired headphones (AKG cans) are a bit better than that.
