I am currently using Sennheiser’s ocx 686g but they’re just staring to lose connection to the port when the cable gets pushed around, so I was looking to see if there’s anything better than just replacing these every 3-5 years at a ~100$ price point wired preferred but not a hard deal breaker or anything

    I have the momentum’s “true wireless” they are good but with the battery inside you are looking at the same 3-5 year replacement cycle. It’s the burden of wireless ear buds.

    Also have shokz bone conduction earbuds for running and biking also good but also 3-5 year replacement cycle.

      Ah so either get good at soldering and fixing cables or replacing tiny batteries if I want to keep em around for longer

        If you want to go down that path, check out Ifixit and see if they have anything marked as high for fix ability. You may be looking at a good set of over ear cans and buying spare batteries from alibaba or eBay. I’ve done it it’s a pain but I have two hd 500bts that are still kicking after one battery swap each. I should get 10 years out of them.
