I love this Art Nouveau tarot deck by Matt Meyers, but sometimes it totally makes me think of 80s prime time TV drama
Feel like I've turned into a weird connoisseur of super cheap wireless ear buds. Afraid to get something expensive and "nice" like AirPods or Sony buds because I will destroy or lose them.
Each of these 3 were around $20 each and they all sound great. Also waterproof and I often wear one in the shower after exercising to keep listening to a podcast.
Left pair (3 years old) has capacitive buttons that trigger in rain or the shower, ugh. Only problem with the middle pair (2 years old) is the case got crushed in my pocket when I flew off my bike the week before last. The latest pair on the right seem pretty promising so far.
I've compared sound between these and earbuds costing 10x - and I'm always really, really hard-pressed to hear a worthwhile sound difference between them. At least, considering the sound quality of something like Spotify or the podcasts I listen to.
This really makes me think that AirPods are the Monster Cables of wireless earbuds. I'm sure AirPods do something better, but I don't seem to appreciate it 10 times as much?
(and that's not even getting into how I don't want to look like I have cigarette butts hanging out of my ears)
@tek here are a few notes from the underground, load them at your pleasure
@calcifer Yeah, that's all fair. The Monster Cable thing was super hyperbolic 😅
