Probably not cheaper but I highly recommend a pair of SAN Wear from SanSound on Twitter. One of the only “crypto” projects I actually support because the team is based and the product is top tier quality. Designed by the guy who made Beats & AirPods as well so the tech goes crazy. They are in ear MONITORS, not headphones or earbuds.

Thank you! I just checked them out. And yeah they are definitely not cheaper but more like 2-4 x higher in price. Which is cool. Looks like great tech. Maybe I put them on my desired gift list since I just entered my birthday month :) though there's probably higher priority desires than these I'd happily receive them should somebody decide to surprise me ☺️🌹
