Same! In an age of good TWS options from $100 and up and wired IEMs at $20 that sound great, I am surprised at how many people I see with decade-old MP3 player nuggets in their ears.

Actually all the TWS I have used were significantly below $100 and were/are still good enough for me - though take into account that my hearing is somewhat fucked due to old age, and now tinnitus apparently triggered by covid.

EDIT: currently using Creative Outlier Air V3 as my everyday outdoor gear. Decent sound, unfortunately the ANC is a joke. Paid equiv. of $40.

Well, my trajectory has pretty much been: LG necklace buds (three generations, I believe, all of which sucked for both music and phone calls, yet I kept buying them for some reason, anyway)--->Sennnheiser CX (the first listenable gear with good call quality)--->Airprods Pro 2, so for me, I had to break the $100 barrier to get good wireless sound, but I have several inexpensive IEMs that sound good.
