Kinda off-topic but their charging cables are actually designed to die. Not that people care…

I don’t know if Xiaomi could be considered good but their buds 4 lite are very pleasant to wear. No noise cancelation and relatively low volume tho, but these are the only down sides IMO.

The alternative is getting custom made othoplastics. These are the absolute banger for people with weird ear canals.

This is the same comment that appears on every YT update for 15 years. No, it won’t happen. YT is too big to fail and real competition is almost non-existent (due to various reasons). Some have tried, all have failed, unfortunately.

Also, I’m sure people would rather pay a monthly subscription than go to other plattforms.
