Typical Chinese sh*t and typical chinese service.
2 sets BOTH of them only play in the left ear. Company wants name rank and serial # and offers no support , repair whatsoever.
I bought on recommendations on the board but they are pure junk.

See if you can find the customer who has two ear buds that play in the right ear, and work a trade.

I picked up some apple earpod lookalike wireless headphones a few years ago, in Shanghai, for stocking stuffers. They all failed.

I carry airpod pro's, which have been outstanding. I use them when commercialing, and they're great. I gave a set to each of the kids this year, and their spouses or fiance/other, except one wife, and she got bose earbuds (because Amazon was playing one-to-a-customer). They all eemed happy.

The airpod pros have come down in price, about forty bucks less than what they originally were. They're good products that you should only need to buy once.

My current are cordless Mpow MDots

Other than occasionally having a connection hiccup, that usually resolves in a 3-5 seconds, they've been great.
At least, for a cheap (<$30) set of earbuds.

I got a good chuckle out of this. Even Apple's excellent earbuds are made in China.

Don't waste your money on Skullcandy Ink'd+ Wireless In-Ear Earbuds either. Lasted 3 months and then the battery bulged and plug melted while charging. MF'ers wouldn't do shit either.

Nearly 7000 reviews and 83% were either 5 star or 4 star. However, review after review on Amazon about these dying in under 3 months. Lots of dipshits review stuff when they first get something but aren't like me and update if something doesn't last.

There's a significant difference in the quality of what's offered by Apple, vs. other products.

Yeah, but it's all made in China. So the statement that it's Chinese doesn't mean much.

I’m using a pair of Beats Fit Pro earphones. They’re the equivalent of AirPods Pro but with hooks to help them stay in your ears as AirPods were never secure in mine. So far I’m liking them a lot.

I find ear buds uncomfortable and unreliable. I have had no trouble whatsoever with Jabra Elite headphones. I use them daily for four hours at a time. They are very comfortable but not cheap.

I've had great luck with Anker SoundCore A1. No affiliation, just impressed that they punched above their weight for what I paid.. good battery life and they have better ear locks than the Airpods for about $40. Really surprised about your CS experience. Maybe check to see if you have the US based CS number, (800) 988 7973.

I don't care for any sort of earbuds anymore.
Aeropex Aftershox is what I've been using for the last year or so. They don't go into your ears, just sit against the bone in front and behind. Sound is great, 8 hours+ of talk time, easy and reliable Bluetooth pairing.

Very happy with my Samsung Galaxy Buds Live. Comfortable, and the sound is excellent. Functions are easy to use, usually a finger tap or two takes care of most of them. Also connects to the Galaxy Wearable app on the phone.

My Korean (I don't know where they are actually made) Samsung earbuds are good.

They work as advertised, and squelch a lot of ambient noise.

They don't sound as good as high-quality earphones for audiophile use, but I didn't expect them to.

That is surprising.. I have had a pair of the Jabra 'Elite Active 65t' Earbuds since 2018, and they have been bulletproof. I love them.
