We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
If cheap is the goal and Honda is out of budget then Kia appears to be a wise choice.
Why are you worried that others would be unhappy that you chose a Kia?
I’m still traumatized from Reddit, where everyone had an opinion, and the consensus is that whatever I said was wrong.
I’m glad you got yourself out of that abusive situation.
