I have this OWC Mercury Pro, which I purchased after going through several cheap ones from amazon that kept dying on me. So far it’s been great. I’ve been using it to rip my cd & dvd collection. FWIW I’m running Fedora 41 and it works great.

I feel this

Color me shocked that a meta product is sacrificing trust so the line continues to go up.

That can’t be possible, since Google kills and births a new messaging app and strategy every three. /s

I haven’t used the clones yet, but I’ll likely go with something like that when these die.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I’m a person with ears that do not work with silicone tips either. I love the fit of AirPods. Tried AirPods Pro, and for my ears, they suck. Doesn’t matter what size tips I use, they seal poorly and fall out constantly. Regular AirPods fit great.

Edit: grammar

Edit 2: that being said, I want to try these because I really want replaceable batteries for my earbuds. It may be moot for me though as I live in the US and currently they aren’t shipping to the US.

First thing I looked at as well. Shame. I’ll buy them when my AirPods die if they offer shipping to the us.
