Over here I'm still using 3$ Panasonic earbuds from 2012.

I spent $15 dollars so I could have 1 in my car, 1 in my laptop bag, 1 next to my computer, and 2 backup for when I lose them or have new location. Haven't lost them yet.

Maybe you really do need wireless and it's worth the effort of charging and replacing batteries. Or maybe you are being sold a veblen good and your brain is exploited by a trillion dollar corporation's marketing department.

For many types of exercise, music from watch over Bluetooth really is the dream.

(I tend to buy the ~$40 version though)

For me, it is audiobooks and podcasts from the watch over Bluetooth while running outdoors. It really is a game changer for me.
Good for you.
