My wife wanted me to buy her a pair of air pods.

I'm like, get a pair of headphones to last you more than a month, then we'll talk.

I can't tell you how many pairs of cheap earbuds we've gone through. Either lost or eaten (damn dog). Almost always just the right earbud. Never the left. I have so many lefts left.

Far from it, but that started long before the first lost earbud.

I've had three sets of earbuds where the right one has died of no apparent cause shortly after the warranty expired.

I'm starting to think it's intentional.
