Thinking of upgrading

Lately, I feel like my wireless earbuds aren't working right... Even the case isn't charging properly. I guess it's because I keep dropping them, but I really want to get new ones soon. I'm currently using Audio-Technica, should I stick with the same brand? Years ago, Audio-Technica was mainstream because they offered good value for money, but I wonder how they are now. There might be other good options out there... But still, I think sticking with a familiar brand is better, maybe I should just give up on trying something new. Also, I want a wired headphone too. I used to use Audio-Technica for those as well, but they broke and I threw them away, haven't bought any since. I do have SONY wireless ones though. Well, it's not urgent since I can use them wired. And for about 10 years now, I've been wanting to buy BOSE headphones someday. lol

It's stressful when your earphones aren't working right, ><;;; Earphones, headphones, and speakers have very different characteristics and properties depending on the manufacturer, so if you have one you like, it's probably best to stick with the same brand. Audio-Technica has pretty good cost performance in terms of performance and price, so it might be a good choice for a replacement... By the way, for brands that have distinct characteristics (and thus can be polarizing) and good quality, I personally recommend BOSE, JBL (highly recommended), Marshall, and domestically, Panasonic and audio-technica, ^^/ SONY's performance and features can be a bit too specialized, they're relatively expensive, and there are some concerns about durability, so it really depends on your preference lol, ^^;;; BOSE and JBL are at opposite ends of the preference spectrum, so if possible, it would be best to listen to them yourself to see if they suit your taste... (they are also on the pricier side), ^^/

Apparently, earphones only last 2-3 years... 'Huh, that's fast!' I thought 😳 I really love and cherish Skullcandy, a US brand ♥ The downside is they're so cute I don't feel like buying new ones 💦
