can any #audiophiles on #mastodon recommend some good quality, affordable bluetooth headphones (or earbuds)? I'm in the market for a new pair and the last two models I've had (Bose AE2 Soundlink and Sony WH-CH720N) I've noticed dont have the best audio quality with my Samsung S24.
I will be moving away from Samsung with my next phone, but in the meantime I could really use a good pair of headphones for casual listening

In a blind test, #audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between #audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't'
Invited forum members to listen to clips with 4 different versions: one taken from original CD, others recorded through 180cm of pro audio copper wire, via 20cm of wet mud, through 120cm of old microphone cable soldered to US pennies, and via a 13cm banana, and 120cm of same setup as earlier.

Who knew listening to a banana sounded so good?

"This is quite surprising, especially as we often don’t think of bananas, or even wet mud, as great conductors"
