earpods own. theyre incredibly more comfortable than other in ears because they dont have a dumb piece of rubber that slips out and is generally uncomfortable yet still have a decent level of bass and get good volume. 10/10 woiuld not use any other ear buds again in my life.

earpods are great for when you, through some witchcraft, want to make ambient noise even louder

these are pretty good:

they (and their succeeding product) apparently don't exist anymore though, but I spent like $25 on them

i got some meelectronics m6 pros because i wanted something cheap-ish with a replacable cable. they're less dorky looking than beats but they sound pretty good and the noise isolation is great

they have a few bluetooth models and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018RP7X0O seem to be the best?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014MUGXLS are considerably cheaper but apparently also sound good (not as good though)

the wirecutter seem seems to have been partially captured by the brands they review, which inevitably will happen to anyone with that business model but seems to have happened to them rather quickly

some of their recommendations are decent though, especially when you just need someone to tell you to buy something because it's all the same poo poo

check out their "inenr vision" column for a great source of laffs, it's basically lifehacker meets a teenager trying to sound deep

I really wanted to like etymotics but i had 2 pairs break at the port stress relief and they wouldn't replace either pair so gently caress them. EarPods adequacy I guess

is it even possible for apple to re-purpose some pins in the lightning port or make an adapter with built in dac for stereo output when something compatible is detected?

theoretically yes.

pseudorandom name posted:

the whole point of Lightning is that it is purely a serial data so none of the pins can be repurposed for anything

uh, what? the Lightning port has dynamically reconfigurable pins, they can be used for anything from serial to USB to power.

is it actually dynamically reconfigurable pins? or one of two states, pins 0-7 do this while pins 8-15 do this and vice versa

and usb is a serial form of communication
