Absolutely. They're a band-aid for a broken arm.
I've checked out real ones. The prices on those are just fucking stupid. It's why I won't ever be able to hear properly again.
You can buy fake AirPods Pro 2 for 40 bucks (I can give you a link where people talk about it). They also have that transparency mode and they seem to work pretty well. The quality is really good and according to plenty of reviews on jewtube) it’s really hard to tell between real and fake ones (audio and build quality)
Thanks but I'm good. I tried earbuds once, they hurt like hell wearing them.
