Reply to comment by Buddhadevine in Nothing hikes price of Ear 1 earbuds by 50 percent - The $99 earbuds will soon cost $149 by speckz
All a matter of what you want and how much you care for sure. I mean the justification given for this increase is that its essentially R&D costs having to do with firmware and product improvements. Company went from 3 to 185 engineers supposedly.
Hardware hasn't changed but firmware with audio can be a difference. Of course.... if I'm honest most people probably don't notice the difference, or at least don't find it worth the extra.
Said as someone who will never buy both of these and admittedly is mostly bought into apple ecosystem, which is a whole other debate of worth.

To be fair to the wireless ANC earbud vs the headphone. Making it small is expensive even if it doesn’t sound as good.
Personally used to be a pretty hardcore only over ear headphone guy…. Then I got glasses.

The original Covid strain killed 100% of these mice. It’s less deadly than Covid classic.

Sure, but what I’m trying to say here is that Matt Rhule isn’t really being fired for being 1-4 he’s being fired for getting if anything worse year over year for 3 years.

You get a little leeway when in 15 previous seasons you have never had a losing season.

Reply to Las Vegas restaurant goes from having almost no customers, to sold out after review from famous TikToker by CaptLeaderLegend26
I follow a couple local social media food people partially so I know where not to go. Places always end up totally slammed which good for them but I have to wait a couple weeks. I’ve had multiple local favorites where it became a “not today” after things got posted.
