Anyone have recommendations of reliable BT - and I mean rock solid reliability - headphones/earpods? I mostly use them with my iphone while commuting, travelling and gardening for mostly music, but also on teams/zoom calls on my mac. I need them to be small and portable. I'm not massively interested in fancy features like noise cancelling, pass through or detecting that I've removed it from my ear. I don't want to spend more that £150 on something that is effectively disposable as these moulded devices are. I'm on my third set of Melomania 1s which sound great, but the hardware hasn't been the best. 1st set failed after a couple of years, 2nd set were faulty within a few months (replaced under warranty) and now these ones. I'm not the biggest fan of BT - no control over connections - so for ultimate stability do I need to resort to wired headphones instead? But then I have the dilemma of what connection type to use? Thanks for any help. p.s. I'm not interested in troubleshooting my immediate problem.
