I give up. I’ve tried so many types of buds (jbl endurance run, fio kz zsn-prox, galaxy buds 2) but they all become dim/quiet/lower quality on the left side within half a year of me using them. I connect them straight to my Samsung a22. Am I cursed?! Like I am afraid to invest into anything above 100$ because of this.
I have a pair of $80 Anker Soundcore noise cancelling buds.
They sound amazing (bass is really good, sound is clear), fit well, noise cancelling actually works, and I have been using them for about 2 month so far with zero issues.
