My jabras have finally given up the ghost.
Great servants for about 5 years.

What type of earbuds are the cool kids on here rocking these days and what are the pros and cons of them?

I have Beats ones, they are red. Think they were around 90 euro. Don't know model. The job!

I got the Beats Studio buds last Christmas and they are the absolute job, sound quality and battery life is better than anything on the market and noise cancelling function is outstanding, great when trying to sleep on flights or blocking out any noise at home.

Not cheap at around the 120 mark but I genuinely think they are great value at that, I use them for calls at work aswell, I use mine a lot so I get value out of them but it’s horses for courses.

They are many levels above the shitty apple ones

Bose QC earbuds. The sound is amazing, and I find them really comfortable.

My ears don’t suit earbuds - got a pair of AirPods from my kids for Fathers Day and had them less than a year when one fell into the sink. €80 to replace just one and no guarantee it wouldn’t happen again.
Went for RoHS what seemed like a great deal on one of those Amazon Prime deals but it was too good to be true. Nouse cancelling it ain’t.
I’ve tried a couple of “bone” ones but after a while they’re annoying when you wear them.

Best noise cancelling and good for listening to podcasts are proper Bluetooth Headphones but they’re a pain to carry around.

First World problems I guess.
