Still feels expensive.

The $15-$20 cheapos on amazon are garbage. Bought a pair just to see and confirm my assumption. Usually takes 2-3 times to connect. The sound is pretty bad but depending on what you listen to that may be a bigger deal or not a big deal.

However, once you get into the $40-$50 range, the sound quality and connectivity drastically improves.

This may be an unpopular opinion but touch controls are annoying. Especially if you wear a beanie or other hat that covers your ears.

I wear a beanie when I run in the winter and if I have to adjust it and brush the earbuds it sees it as a control push. Or if I have to just adjust the earbuds and don't grab it very carefully it will register a control push.

Wondering if anyone with Apples AirPods has run into this issue when wearing a beanie or hat that covers the ear?
