<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;m tired of having to buy new earbuds almost every month when one stops working, I&#039;m 100% sure these companies do it on purpose to make you keep buying new ones, even big companies are doing it.<br /> <br /> F*cking scammers.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s time I got to the bottom of this, I&#039;m going to create earbuds that don&#039;t malfunction for atleast five years, calling it now.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Can&#039;t stand the ear buds, I&#039;m the guy with the double ear blue tooth old school looking headphones. Normally I only use them when talking on the phone though. I don&#039;t really lead a life where listening to music on headphones is necessary. If I had a job, I probably would though.<br /> <br /> By the way.... if they are just going to break anyway, why not buy 10 pair at a time at the $1 Store?</div>

AirPods are high quality and super convenient. Aside from the obvious benefits of wireless earphones like you can walk around with them, they also connect automatically once you put them in your ear. If you take one out, it will automatically pause the music or whatever you&#039;re listening to. The charging case is also a convenient place to store/charge them. <br /> <br /> I think it&#039;s one of those things where if you get used to them, you can never go back. I don&#039;t think I could start using wired earphones again because I&#039;m too used to the convenience of AirPods.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Ok questions,<br /> <br /> How do AirPods pollute the ocean?<br /> <br /> I’ve never had a pair of earbuds go bad on me and I’ve had plenty of them? How are you breaking yours?<br /> <br /> How are they breaking? Wire disconnecting? Circuit board? Tiny speaker?<br /> <br /> I lost my wireless LG headphones yesterday and just ordered AirPods for $150. A little more than the $70 LGs but i wanted to give them a shot.</div>

The main issue with earphones is the flimsy wire that breaks inside over time.</div>
