My cheaper headphones are all failing and I need to grab a few pair of whatever is the best value iem today, similar to how the quarks were when I bought them 3-4 years ago.

Is it still the Quarks? I saw something from 7hz that was really popular at $30 but I think it has a detachable cable. I’ll have those pins snapped off in a week.

    Do you use them as a mobile IEM or are you usually stationary?

    I usually use them mobile like when I walk to campus (I never leave home without it). I haven’t tried cooking with them on but for activities like that, you might want to consider wireless earphones instead (I don’t know much about those though).

    Also, just curious which version you have.

    I use mine with a 3.5mm TRN cable and a USB-C dongle to connect to my phone. It can be a bit bulky because of the dongle.

      Gotcha. I have Sony Linkbuds but I’m out on wireless. I could rant, and I won’t, but it turns out that all the conspiracy weirdos who tried warning us about WiFi, wireless headphones, 5G, etc. were right. Whoops.

      Anyway, I’m ordering a pair right now. I’m psyched. Thanks.
