Lol, it’s funny how a product like this will likely get a solid 4 star rating, meanwhile I’ll find another that is better, has better reviews, and costs easily a quarter of this

Yeah, duh. It’s fair as in “fair trade”, not fair as in “I think it’s fair that child labor in poor countries made my cheapo headphones”.

Yeah but you’re assuming that my cheap ones are unethical and your pricey ones are ethical. It’s been proven over and over that these expensive brands employ just as much child/cheap labor as much at the cheapo brand as you say.

I was pretty pissed about having my $400 earbuds die after a couple of years. If these things last for six or eight, I’d be happy.

You know what didn’t die yet? My 8 year old earbuds that have a wire and plugs into the jack. And guess what, I don’t even have to charge them or worry about losing one of them.

Fuck wireless headphones.

Especially with the growing trend to use wireless headphones to push people to buy new headphones when they don’t need them. It does nothing but create waste and lose us money.
