what in the ever living hell is with a garbage quality of corded sub $5 headphones. why must they all have those stupid trash silicone tips that fall off and don't fit. why in the ever living fuck is there ZERO bass... 10 year old FREE headphones were literally better in all regards. makes absolutely no sense. it's actually hurting my brain listening to these prices of shit

If you can, invest in a pair of Sennheiser 650/6xx. They're not bass canons but they're tonally balanced pretty well. They really shine when it comes to vocals so watching shows/movies and listening to shitty quality audiobooks turns it into a delightful pleasure instead. If you're talking about in ear monitors there's plenty of amazing Chinese options that don't cost very much.

I've got a pair of Sennheiser gsp670s for home, these are just for dog walks and I still want 3.5mm. literally just wanted a pair of those free earbuds they use to give with phones. for home use, I don't go cheap on my audio devices.

was shocked when I started to hear a headache from how tinny the cheap ones were compared to what they used to give for 'free'. sadly dropped em in the snow in my driveway overnight.
