Specifically thinking of stuff that make your life better in the long run but all kinds of answers are welcome!

I've recently learnt about lifetraps and it's made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

The cable is the weakest link of Earbuds for durability.

IEM's with replaceable cables are readily available and getting very cheap & good these days (e.g. Moondrop Chu 2, Truthear Hola, etc)

Whoa this is interesting. What kind of setup would you suggest for someone that wants: products that have replaceable parts (especially the cable), microphone, sound quality not being the most importantly aspect, being able to use while playing pc games? Seems i should get an iem with a cable that has a Mic, but maybe that's a bad idea

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not a bad idea if your setup allows for wired buds into a mic-compatible port.

You could look for buds with a mic cable or, of course you could just replace the cable with one with a mic.

Would you happen to have any product recommendations? I'm new to IEMs and kind nof don't know where to look, and which brands are decent. I appreciate any info you provide!

there's a chu 2? I love must chu should i getta the 2

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

2 is a lil bassier, perhaps slightly too bassy for my taste but still great.

Still just as comfortable as the original and the new cable is much nicer

sweet, light Havel to grab them. Still $20?

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Yea like $26 Canadian, great value.

I work retail and usually rec my customers don't buy the cheap bullshit we have and buy those instead
