    Running headphones / ear pods. I tried cheap ones advertising their “Latest Bluetooth 5.2 standard support” and that the charging case could be used as a battery pack. The music cut in and out to the rhythm of my arms when I ran (music transmitted from my watch). I’m running with Shokz now. Four times pricier, but they work.

    USB hubs. I tried cheap-cheap, I tried semi-cheap with metal case (IcyBox I think) and ports would just stop working with regularity. Maybe blame those weird USB-to-cinch cables that some of my gadgets use. I now have two industrial USB hubs on my desk and all their ports still work even after years of use.
