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.

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.

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)
