  New Phone Without Headphone Jack – Should I Use USB-C Adapter, Buy Type-C Earphones, or Go Wireless?

  Had the same problem! I bought a Fiio dongle DAC for 20 bucks and it sounds great with my trusty Sennheiser in-ears!

  What's a purchase under $50 that has genuinely improved your daily routine?

  Might not be in the same vein as alot of these but  I got sick of my Bluetooth buds dying every couple years + the stupid cost of them  So I bought a Bluetooth receiver to use with wired headphones that has a hot swappable battery  Can use my old headphones again and when the battery eventually dies I can just get a new one for $5 instead of trying to figure out a replacement set of buds/headphones  Also the BT receiver i got is the fiio retro nano

  Looking for relatively basic mp3 player

  I've had a Fiio for probably over 10 years, and it works flawlessly. Just load the music on the card, and put it in.

  Wireless Earbuds that are Specifically *Durable*

  >Bluetooth Earbuds are not buy it for life This is exactly right. OP, you are wasting your time with this request. There is exactly one model of TWS earbuds on the market with properly replaceable batteries, the Fairphone Fairbuds. And the sound quality on them frankly sucks imo. If you want earbuds that are durable, wireless, AND sound good your only option is to get normal wired buds with a pair of bluetooth adapters like the FiiO UTWS5. But be warned, they will be heavier and a LOT more clunky to wear than normal bluetooth earbuds.

  need bluetooth earbuds that rest on your neck and are attached to a cable

  I bought the fiio btr3 in 2019 and it still works. I am currently using btr13, it is not in this picture. You can connect any earphones or headphones to these. [fiio Bluetooth dac ](https://imgur.com/a/longest-lasting-bluetooth-dacs-me-4v9qsFu)

  Got a long day of travel and desperately need some earbuds with really good battery life and are very comfortable to wear for long periods at a time

  i second earbuds with cables. honestly i love them. i have had a pair of DUNU Titan S IEMs and they've lasted me three years already. I am careful with them though and put them in their case, but the esrbuds can be removed from the cable in case it breaks. and your IEMs work as new! see different models and comparisons on crinacle. most of the things there are for audiophiles, who actually invest in quality for their products. but you can find pretty inexpensive things that are bifl imo.  Most brands you see on stores like beats or whatever arent really good. audiophiles are like cameramen, in a sense that their devices dont usually stop functioning, because if they did, people wouldnt buy them.  if what you wsnt is something bluetooth, invest in a pair of iems and an eac such as a FiioBTR5 or a TWS adapter

  BIFL Protip: A bluetooth adapter can extend the life and usefulness of your favorite wired headphones

  My Fiio BTR5 Bluetooth adapter is a lifesaver. It makes my headphones sound so much better and louder and has amazing battery life. I use it a lot as I still have wired headphones that are perfectly fine but not every device has the plug I need.
