I aint clicking that shit, but no, i dont use wireless gear

I have become rather accustomed to them, really. I used to swear against bluetooth, because the audio quality suffers. Lately, I came upon a pair of Sony true wireless earbuds and I must say that they're very convenient. It's nice to just pop one in at work. They can sound decent, Bluetooth has become better at audio encoding in recent years.
New over-head headphones seem to suffer from build quality issues, and earbuds seem to have avoided that.

I HATE wireless tech.

I sold my wireless earbuds because they sound like shit and I don't really like when I want to listen to music but the battery is dead and it's so stupid. Also not repairable, planned obsolescence baked in, you can lose a case and your perfectly working headphones are no more working. Almost half of the people I knew switched back to wired ones due to obvious advantages. They are even stylish, especially the ones with different colors, though I hate IEMs because the people wearing them are always incels, autists or hipsters and I don't really want people to think that I'm retarded. If I'm seeing a man wearing an*me shitbuds with a cable that rounds the ear plugged into some 500$+ FiiO snakeoil audiophile player I'm not shaking his hand. Period.

Are you a roastie or a simp?

Let me guess, you are offended because you're the one wearing those stupid headphones? You are looking very stylish wearing them, believe me, and the audio quality is absolutely superior, I cannot argue.

Answering your question, I let you decide who you think I am. You can even pick both. And yes, I look exactly like those pictures you sent. Perfect match.

I do pic rel all the time but I struggle when it comes to family members who want to make bad decisions thatll fuck their life up

Well, sometimes you might just let them do the thing, you can't actually force your family members to make the "right decisions", that'll just be tyranny and abuse. What you can do is try to explain, casually, how they might be wrong and what the consequences could be. Don't try to argue with them, as you'll lose immediately, I hope you know that already. If they don't want to listen to you, that's obviously not your problem, but at least you've tried to prevent "fucking their life up". Basically, when they don't want to listen to you, they're choosing to not rely on your wisdom and experience, and want to do stuff on their own, no matter how bad the things could end up. What can you do? Only say how and where they might be wrong, just explain one time and that will be it. Maybe something will click in their head and they will listen to you. But selfishness and ignorance often wins, so be ready.
Don't take it too close to your heart, sometimes we just need to let them make their mistakes to gain their own experience, no matter how old they are. And sometimes, it might be even for the better.

No, and I recently upgraded to some Softears Volume S IEMS and I've been enjoying it. The fidelity is a lot higher than my Sony MDR-7506 headphones.
I have some Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 but they're primarily for travel or yard work.

I almost never use wireless tech whenever possible. The only exception has been bluetooth earbuds. I don't think I can ever go back to use wired earbuds ever again.

Wireless is just so much more convenient for my use which is mostly listening to music while I'm doing something or on the bus and just situations like that. The only real negative for me is the annoying process of having the connect / reconnect them to my phone every time but other than that, I'm fine. I'm also not that big of an audiophile so I don't really care about audio quality and what not (I am still relying on a streaming service sadly).

If you want to give IEMs a shot you don’t have to get one that’s plastered with anime girls. There are plenty of lowkey looking options as well.

If you want to give them a shot I recommend the Artti T10 for you. It looks as simple as it gets IMO and the sound quality for the price is unmatched by any other IEM/earbud I’ve tried. This thing sounds so clean with a good DAC/AMP.

I showed it to my dad who isn’t into audio gear like me and he was blown away by it too. He started borrowing it regularly so eventually I got him his own pair.

And you don’t have to make a big fuss about it, if you don’t like the twisted cables, you can just change them to something more lowkey as well. Whatever floats your boat.

Oh and I forgot to add that flathead earbuds are kind of making a comeback as well. You can also give those a shot.

They are literally dirt cheap and sound very decent for the price. The look is pretty oldschool as well which I personally like. And if you put some foam on them which usually comes packaged with the earbud then it also becomes very comfortable. I can wear mine for hours without any discomfort, and sometimes when I pause the music I forget that I’m even wearing them.

But they don’t block out any outside noise, so it might not be for everybody or for every use case. I usually only use mine indoors so I don’t mind.

If you want to try them I recommend the Yincrow X6 or the Faaeal Iris 2.0.

i've personally been using wireless bluetooth headphones and they've worked for about eight years now

i envy the ones who can stand these, not an Heckin Audiophiliac but i'd rather be strangled with cords than stand with all the cons bluetooth headphones have
