Wired earbuds were great until they got caught on some piece of clothing and got ripped out.

  Not to mention the microphonics

    What do you mean? I ask because I find Apple's wired EarPods to be less... selective than AirPods are—by that I mean they'll pick up more background noise whereas AirPods seem to only transmit my voice—but EarPods' clarity exceeds AirPods if you grab the mic and hold it next to your mouth, which you obviously can't do with AirPods.

      Microphonics = cable noise, like when the cable drags against your zipper.

        If you spend half the price of Airpods on good wired IEMs cable noise is barely a thing...

  For real, after being on wireless earbuds for quite some time and going back to wired, it is absolutely incredible how many things the cords get caught on. Even just your own hands!
