by the way someone commented airpods pro 2 in the comment section i voted up for it. i am not against the idea of earbuds, but the discussion about earbuds without issues. simply there is none .

I used my earbuds daily. i had several experiences with the earbuds, i got fedup from them.
first i got the bose, it fall a parts on daily uses after a year. then i got the samsung then the apple airpods pro . all worked fine for a year then the issues will start to appear .
for the airpods for example. it was the best one but as apple released the airpods pro 2 i start to notice some connections issues with apple pushing more software updates to its devices beside the charging issue, at the end i have wested around 600 $. it not big money for 3 years, but it could be my only 600 $ even for 6 years with more use cases for the IEM as compared to the earbuds. i can use them for Gaming on pc or ps5.

The earbuds idea is an issue by it self . The best earbuds will last you maximum 2 year on the best case scenario. On the other hand the same amount of money on good wired IEM will last you years. This a traid off . I use an iem with portable Dac
