inky_cap_mushroomI got a $30 pair of skull candy jib true earbuds with no research in fall of 2021 and they’ve been going strong with 6-12 hours of use per day since then. I wouldn’t say they’re BIFL or even particularly high qualify, but they show no signs of breaking any time soon.
ItsAlwaysSunny1992I’ve been using the same SkullCandy “JIB True” wireless earbuds for YEARS and they sound amazing. Pretty sure they’re only like $50? Long battery life, deep bass, super loud(I barely have to turn up the volume), and very comfortable to wear! I’m also an Apple user, however, I use Spotify.
