Not that I&#x27;m advocating doing away with wired earphones completely, but I&#x27;d just like to mention how <i>ridiculously</i> inexpensive passable bluetooth earphones have become. &quot;Bluedio N2&quot; stereo bluetooth IEMs (incl mic&#x2F;remote)... <i>SUB-$10!</i> Delivered! From China!<p>No, the sound quality is not as good as my wired Etymotics, but being unattached to the phone is often preferable. These things are head and shoulders the best bang&#x2F;buck I&#x27;ve ever had in consumer electronics. Stockpiled 3 pairs.
