But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

This article seems to omit the most important fact about headphones - how do they sound?

I love repairability and all, but it hardly matters if I don't want to use them in the first place because they traded off too much quality for repairability.

Lol sound is not the selling point for any of those pods. Portability is the name of the game

They're not gonna sound as good as real, over ear headphones. But there's still a pretty wide sound quality spectrum for ear buds.

They're almost all small. You're a bit off center too.
