What’s up with your reviews? Are there any products you don’t recommend?
I'm not one to trash things unnecessarily. The internet tends to be very negative. Tech pundits and reviewers claim to be honest, but a lot of times they just like bashing things for sport.

I have a confession to make. I don’t like true wireless earbuds. No, it’s not just because they are insanely popular. No, it’s not because I hate the brands, styles, or how they follow a “less is more” design principle. I simply don’t like earbuds because they don’t stay in my ears. When I’m working..
