I have a pair of Anker Bluetooth ear buds I really like. Fit nice, decent noise canceling.
They are just a fricken nightmare to sync. It took me half an hour of fiddling with them to get both of them to sync at the same time to my phone when I bought them.
My wife's headphones died and without asking she borrowed them. She messed with them and was unable to get them to sync to her phone.
Since then I have now been unable to get them both to connect to my phone reliably at the same time. It's been a couple months.
All that said, that’s the only real Bluetooth device that's given me more than 30 seconds trouble in recent years.
- johnwalkr 4y agoI have a cheap but good bluetooth headsetthat I like. Sometimes I have trouble using it because it connects to a device I don't actually want to use first. If I made a headset I would put a switch for multiple devices on it, like some mouses have. Anyway it has a nice feature: long press the pair button to forget all pairings. It solves almost any issue, and it's more convenient to re-pair things that you want to use, than switch to a device you are not using to disconnect
- vxNsr 4y agoIt was for this reason that I settled on AirPods. I tried nearly every single wireless earbud available at every price point, from free to $250 and none worked as well as the AirPods when it came to connecting reliably every time. I tested a whole bunch of relatively expensive earbuds for a week, some were a pain to connect from the get go, and never got better, others worked the first time but then got annoying after that. AirPods we’re great, since then I’ve had the occasional hiccup, but it’s like at most once a month and I use them multiple times a day.
