Thought those $20 Bluetooth earbuds were a steal, but 3 weeks in and the left one stopped charging
Grabbed a pair off Amazon after seeing decent reviews, but now I'm hunting for a replacement that won't die on me after a month. Anyone else had luck with cheap earbuds that actually last?

The $20 range is honestly where earbuds go to die, in my experience. You might get lucky for a few weeks but the charging contacts and battery cells in that price bracket are usually bottom of the barrel. Had a pair of Tozo T6s a couple years back that lasted me maybe four months before the right earbud started cutting out. Stepping up to something in the $40-60 range seems to be the sweet spot where the components hold up better. Things like the Anker Soundcore or Earfun models tend to get recommended a lot for that middle ground. Worth saving a bit more instead of buying replacements every month.

Isnt the Tozo T6 like $25-$30 usually? I think the real problem with those cheap buds is the battery dying unevenly, not charging contacts failing. You got a point about the Anker stuff though, @terry_barnes, that line holds up way better for not a lot more cash.
