yeah sure not having a wire is nice, but two generations of earbuds from my phones own manufacturer and both pairs i get regularly dogshit audio quality, and half the time one of the buds doesn’t even work or produces barely any audio. There is no way to remedy this even after resetting the buds and the bluetooth connection. and you have to shell out 3x as much money for these things. also it’s yet another device whose charge you have to keep track of

    cursed prediction: proprietary headphones get sound quality privileges on their manufacturer’s devices… users pay a subscription fee for “compatibility” with non-proprietary headphones

    This is already partially true, Galaxy Buds and Pixel Buds have better support/features on their vertically integrated Android flavor compared to others.
