I feel as if technology has stagnated, all that are left are grifts or just make everything terrible, like AI. I was thinking Zoom calls maybe? The tech has definitely improved since Skype.

Wired headphones have gotten amazing at various price points. If you know where to look, you can get something quite good for $18. Moondrop Chu II comes to mind for earbuds, for example.

Yeah definitely. A friend got some IEMs for very cheap and they sound amazing. I'm just grateful I don't have to bother with cables tangling and breaking anymore, and when I want to really listen to something i do use wired.
