This is just a stupid take, sorry. They were pumping billions into stadia for literal years. They gave away stadia kits like crazy.
How are you angry that they shut down a product that was hemorrhaging money and still reimbursed everyone?
I actually used the service, I'm not happy but I fully understand why they did it.

Ordered these and found the ANC mode had annoying clicking noise in one ear, was the same on two models. I don't know much about earphones with ANC but found it very annoying and ordered the Oneplus buds pro instead and prefer those for sure.

Not earbuds, but as an owner of Sony 1000xm4s, their support is absolutely trash. Maybe a Microsoft-level generic "have you tried resetting them? That didn't work? Kbye."

I have recently bought JBL Live pro 2. I would totally recommend them. Really good noise cancelation, also good battery until now, good sound quality. (I'm not an expert in earbuds, but these are the best I've had until now)

What a terribly written article. Title is enough, article is verbatim the tweet which they included. Riveting stuff.

Unless they fix their connection issues, they are useless and worth Nothing(!) (Frustrated ex-user)

Own a pair, listen to them everyday. Wanted to buy earbuds for 100$ - wasn’t disappointed with them. The design, battery, noise cancelling and sound - all is good for me :) But for 149$? Nah

Biggest issue is fitment. Movements that jostle the earbud even slightly will trigger the sensor making the earbud think I've removed it and cause audio playback to stop. This is most apparent when I wear them while doing any kind of physical activity. The touch inputs are also inconsistent. Sometimes there's a lag when I tap to play/pause, causing me to tap a second time because I'm unsure if my first input worked. Other times, something as light as my hair brushing the earbud will trigger it and stop audio playback.

I’m explaining a basic policy that many business have. I’m not sure why you are arguing it.

Still contrarian. You just want to argue, you can do that on your own. It’s like talking to a toddler.

Who would waste police time with a making a claim for a Fitbit? The poster didn’t mention any report.

Absolutely subjective, but I did enjoy then better after a brief listen. Also tbh overall experience of using Buds+ is quite bad, controls are a nightmare.
With the value, it's all down to how much does one value the extra features I guess. It's less about audio and more about convenience, that's why airpods are so popular. (altho apparently the Pros sound great)

Actually yes. Sure as an adjunct but it's popular for a reason.
