I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!

      You can get Soundcore Life Q20 for under $50 when they’re on sale. They’re not amazing, but they’re pretty good.

        For the price they are fantastic. Once you dial in a proper EQ it’s hard to beat for 3x the price. This is for non flac hi res stuff like Spotify, podcasts I must say.

          Definitely. In hindsight I undersold them, because they’re a great deal and very solid headphones. I’ve been using mine for three years, and very much glad I have them.

          I haven’t had this problem, but I have a different use case (mine are three years old, but stay in my office all the time). They don’t strike me as great wear-and-tear headphones, though, for what it’s worth.

          Incidentally, I prefer isolating in-ear earbuds without ANC for commuting; I like to be at least somewhat aware of ambient sounds.
