Specifically thinking of stuff that make your life better in the long run but all kinds of answers are welcome!

I’ve recently learnt about lifetraps and it’s made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

    Better yet, you can get Bluetooth ear hooks for both 2-pin and MMCX IEMs, if you ever want to lose the cable. They last longer than airpod types, offer better sound quality, and you can replace them without replacing the IEMs themselves.

      I’ve yet to try these myself but I definitely like the concept. Mostly worried about the weight & comfort, plus large case size (I have the Sony XM5 and love how tiny and pocketable the case is)

        I like it a lot.

        I have pretty narrow ear canals, so I can’t really wear airpods without fear of them flying out while biking. The ear hook design solves that. I misplaced a pair of KZ AZ09s on holiday this summer, but I’ve since replaced them with a set of Fiio UTWS3.

        I have nothing but good things to say. The weight of the Bluetooth hooks negligible, especially because the majority of the weight is resting on your ears. I hardly feel them when I’m use (besides the feeling of the actual IEMs in my ears), and having a button on each ear is really convenient.

        The case is on the big side, but it fits well enough in my pockets to not be that big of a deal. The battery in the units are big enough to last for ages, and the battery in the case being an actual big battery means I charge them once a month, at most.

        The UTWS3 hooks I have now are AptX based, and they don’t seem to have a noise floor that I can hear in the slightest.
