Well it finally happened: my gen2 AirPods from 2020 have finally crapped out. My right ear volume is really low, and nothing is making it better. It's throwing me off because I have decreased hearing in my left ear, so this is no bueno.
I need a set of replacement earbuds. I mostly listen to audiobooks and podcasts, but something good for classical music and rock would be great. Due to my ear condition, I really can't handle aggressive bass so no earphones that prioritize that. I take my earbuds to a community pottery studio on occasion, so I need something that doesn't have too many buttons but has decent noise cancelling.
I have an iPhone, but I operate on both Windows and Mac day-to-day so while I have loved my AirPods, I'm not an Apple loyalist. I just want a good pair of earphones, nothing more than \~$250, knowing I'll get use out of them but they'll need replacing in \~5 years. #lifestyle source
