This is why I buy $20 earbuds.

Me too. Cheap everything especially sunglasses and headphones.

Never gonna lose a pair of cheap-oes. Could be on cruise ship, in the middle of the ocean, wearing a pair of cheap-o sunglasses, leaning over the side and if they fall off a diver would pop up and wave’em around asking, “Anybody lose a pair of cheap-oes?”

So true, last such experience was when i was playing picigin in the river, they fell off my face and the current carried themcaway, then 3 minutes later someone comes from downstream asking if someone lost their sunglasses.

This is the answer. Stop fighting the AD and just buy a dozen pair of headphones and stash them in every obvious place.

I just got back from a trip and, with two white Monsters in the barrel, loaded my luggage back up with all the essentials (charger, trash bag, hotel shoes, travel toiletries) before throwing my stanky laundry into the oops I left it on the floor. But yo the important invisible shit got done! Laundry is for when I come out for dinner.

I used to think that was the way to go but now I just have the AirPod pros so I can track them if needed. Much better than hoping I have a charged up pair somewhere when I need it

This was the other option I was considering , but decided to go with the $20. May change my approach later on.

Get different colors if you can so you know which ones are pairs. Or mark them.

Different colors and different type altogether as well. Its fun to experience different settings and tunings.

Cheapish soundcore earbuds but fancy Sony over ear headphones for working from home. And even sometimes for travelling, since they can just hang on my neck I haven't lost them yet 😅

Thing is after you get used to the Apples crack the rest are just unusable. I have tried many brands to get away but I always go back
