I have a pair of earbuds that I bought for $20 in 2020 when we first all went remote. These things have been great but I fidget with the case, including the built in USB cable and now it is shorted or frayed or something and I have to finagle it to charge. I could replace them in a heartbeat, but that isn’t the point! It is now a mission to limp these cheap, low quality, broken things along and see how far we can go.
