There is a way to avoid buying utter shit on Amazon most of the time, but it's annoying- type in the full product name including the manufacturer. Like instead of "noise-cancelling earbuds," you have to type in "Skullcandy sesh ANC" (highly recommended and inexpensive wireless earbuds, by the way). Then the result is at least near the top of the list. Of course, this requires you to know what you want before you go there, which can sometimes, due to researching it, require going to some other website to make the same purchase anyway.
I basically don't do non-specific searches Amazon at this point unless I want it to be cheap and I honestly don't care if it sucks. If I buy a male-to-male cable converter and it craps out after a month... well, it was only $1.
Yessss! Awesome earbuds!
Right? I use them every day at work. They sound good enough for me (I'm not an audiophile), the noise cancelling is good enough to block out any real distractions, and the range is impressive. So is the battery life. Just all-around good earbuds and they're like $60-70.
I love mine so much. I got it in a Costco promotion because my last earbuds were so bad I couldn’t take it anymore and just bought it thinking a higher end one would be better. Probably the best non researched purchase I had and didn’t even know they were noice canceling. Such a nice surprise haha it sounds very good to me and the battery life is very impressive!
