I refuse to buy new ones until I break every last of the earbuds parts I own. I've got a bunch of different earbuds I've tried over the past 4 years (all broken) and want use bits from those. Maybe I'm cheap but I'd rather hold onto and use junk than give my bi-monthy $10 "subscription" fee for earbuds.
I ruin pairs a bunch while walking and running just from the wires moving around a lot and fraying. With fixing I haven't needed to buy earbuds in a year and won't need to for even longer.
I listen to all my music on this, so bluetooth isn't an option. I would consider if there's some 3.5mm bluetooth dongle thing. They probably exist, I just haven't looked lol
I prefer my recorder because it's a good way to take notes. It's smaller than any notebook and I can store days worth of notes. It also just has a pretty decent pair of mics. You can hear a slight bit of distortion, though that's mostly due to my settings and low volume. I can usually get it to have no distortion in a few seconds.
Man bought a $20 a gauge at Amazon that was all fancy digital went to hook it up did t detect shit, then went back and bought an analog worked right away
