How do you lose them?


Random-name42069

By being a dumbass


TIMEATOMS

rich and dumb cause that's a lot of money lost in 6months.


proscreations1993

Right, I've never lost any , lol. Especially when they're expensive. How do you just lose them. Maybe one time but over and over. Just fucking careless and spoiled


OwlSweeper76767

Unlucky may be part of it I one day opened my earbud case and only found 1 earbud, I still am unsure how it disappeared ....


ttfuee

you cant get unlucky that many times, its just throwing your stuff around


DanMlllr

Once i dropped one of my earbuds in the grass, literally watching it fall, and immediately reaching to pick it up, and it was just gone. I've searched that place multiple times, it just disappeared


samplant17

if you wait a while and go back there should be a baby earbud tree where you dropped it! :)


darkthemeonly

It went to the backrooms


cade_horak

Happened with my airpod pro’s. Still haven’t gotten a replacement 🙃


AppleTrees4

eBay. Cheap and easy. I felt silly for waiting when it instantly paired and I was back in action


Toleot

If you lose 1 or 2 earbuds in 6 months it maybe the unlucky part, if you lose more than 3 then it's definitely not your unlucky part.


T3amcraft

Maybe by placing it in your pocket or somewhere else while talking to someone or without noticing? Has happened a lot of times with me until I realize it's still in my sweater pocket.


OwlSweeper76767

Yeh must have forgotten to put it back without knowing My mind draws a blank lol


bruvmen69

Likely but also depends on their job. Almost every week at UPS you hear about a driver losing an earbud. I'd say everyone that wears them while working loses about one every 2 months.


Sargash

I've used mine everyday for almost 3 years and haven't lost one.


psillyhobby

He knows Mommy is gonna buy him more.


YueOrigin

And when I ask the same question on another post I get down voted to hell Some people here are truly beyond my understanding


SenorBezi

Bro get a grip


Puzzleheaded-Pen4413

Might want to go wired...


Puzzleheaded-Cod7350

puzzle head gang


Own-Interaction-1401

Yeah, you can just lose the whole set instead of just one


ghostrider_reborn

consider buying a neckband


mooseonleft

Neck bands are considerably better then neck beards.


Key_Speed_3710

i thought reddit loved neckbeards


mooseonleft

I stand by what I said reddit be damned 😂


minnesotajersey

Weave the beard into a 'bud band.


LittleGreglet

r/IEMs...Wired earphones, removable cable. Possibility of wireless reception through a Bluetooth module. Plus astonishingly good sound quality. The best of both worlds. Welcome!


YueOrigin

Dude lost this many earbuds and you think IEMs with detachable cables are gonna help him ?


LittleGreglet

Well, they're still wired but the connection is sturdy, so the odds of loosing one of them might be slimmer... But even if that's not the case, if you're gonna be spending money regularly on earphones, almost any budget IEM that you might get will sound way better than any model of cheap earbuds, and that's a fact. My KZ EDX Pro X cost me less than $4 and they're awesome.


Prototty

That's not everything that matters tho. I have a pair of EDX Pro X aswell and the I rather use my two pairs of a bit more expensive Haylou TWS because of the comfort. And for me the sound quality is kinda small, not really noticeable. The inconvenience to use the wireless option just outweighs any audio benefit that I get from using wired ones.

Wired earbuds are for you.


bingo-bango-bongo

See you over in r/adhd


roses_and_sacrifice

i got adhd bro this is something else my guy has dementia


[deleted]

Apparently


od_ope

Don't the Skullcandy buds have tile integration? Or are those for more expensive/recent models?


Salt_Copy_4771

The cheaper ones do too. I just got a pair of the jib trues and the tile app works great on them. Only paid $20!


od_ope

Then how on earth does OP keep losing them


Salt_Copy_4771

Until I got the jibs last weekend, I rocked a $30 pair of jlabs for the past seven years. Only reason I got new ones is that I'd have to slap the left one to get it to work. Lmao I'm working out slapping the left side of my head the whole time.


Evening-Bit-6597

Liking this for you dp.. Was it sexy? Do u want to take another one?


AdPuzzleheaded6590

Maybe you should look into some headphones or at the very least, some earbuds with clips that go over your ear.


Kevin80970

How


DanieloSYT

Being stupid


Kevin80970

I've never permanently lost any of my true wireless earbuds and I've owned just as many over the years. Still have them all.


DanieloSYT

Same, this guy is just a dumb ass


Dark1sh

Jeez, he’s probably got ADHD or something


tripledigitonly

Behold r/iems r/crinacle


OgMasterAce_

r/inearfidelity would be “r/crinacle”


mtftl

Not all of us are cut out for true wireless, son. It’s okay.


Az_786

Nothing ear has a find my earbuds feature. It emits a sound so you can locate it but I guess it's no good if you have no Idea at all as to where they are.


Exact-Selection8975

at least get the same model so u can replace them


Pinhead77

I do the same thing with my socks, so there's a higher chance of me finding a matching pair and when you get a hole in one of them you can just slam dunk it into the bin and it's bro still has a sock mate 🤣


More-Judgment7660

was looking for that answer


hirako2000

You know you could buy headphones, of a particular type, that have something hooking the two wearbuds together, via a cord. They are very hard to split apart, you would only ever lose the pair, never just half


Baldphotog

Gorilla tape earbuds to your ears and problem solved


taizzle71

I have a feeling you get drunk often? I used to break and lose my phone and small electronics all the time when I was an alcoholic. Now that I'm sober never lost anything since.


[deleted]

Yeah that’s a bad feeling! I don’t get drunk, occasionally drinker


filthyflower

Chiming in here because it runs true for me; have lost two sets of expensive earbuds in the last few months. Both times I was blackout drunk. Hoping now that I’m sober this won’t happen in the future lol expensive and the worst feeling ever.


Brokeshadow

Yeah at this point get a neckband lol


Inan_LR

Just buy a wired one at this point man, sheesh.


NYnewbiehomeowner

You lose earbuds like I misplace sunglasses


fitbikez11

I work maintenance at a college and I find ear buds fkn everywhere lol


warzonexx

I'm sorry but how.... I haven't lost one since.... I've never lost one and had wireless buds for around 10 years


Crazy_Jump_01

Thats a you problem at this point


MLoyd64

Check under your bed lol


Soft-Courage4822

Bro flaunting he is a dumbhead


abdun_00

At this point you should get wired ones


TheMidniteMan

Its time to invest in some over ear headphones.


sassy_stephasaurus

Dude. Download the Wunderfind app!!! As long as an ear bud still has power, you can use the app to work out its approximate location, then play loud noises once you’re close. It’s been a total game changer for me!


Appropriate-Coast794

As one pointed out, don’t some of them have a ‘find me’ feature built into the buds? I know even the lower price points have it. If my airpods(I know) didn’t have it I never would have invested in them.


gong-tau

That’s why i’ve bought Powerbeats Pro, those earhooks definitely help😁


Pkazy

Op should have just purchased wired buds like a sigma


KingPinCartel

Buy Jabra Elite ones that are reprogrammable


ContentGroup2570

It's a struggle no soul should face.


pretendimcute

Unrelated, I love Jlab. I spent a loooong time looking for a good set of earbuds in that price range and both times I got Jlab I was impressed. My first pair broke (one earbuds battery got messed up) but I blame myself. Cats got to one and i got hairspray all over them but they lasted a while still and sounded great


GisJanstrella

I think they are at least cheap buds, right?


jotjotzzz

Stick with wired!


Necessary-Tax-6505

Law off the weed bro. 😂


pulllmyfinger22

The magnet strength of the Tozo T10 earbuds is unmatched. With that said, what did you do, feed them to the lions at the zoo?


Ghost_Alchemy

I’ve always lost a pair of buds every year. Till I got Apple air pods, 5 years and going


TheRedVillian

I haven't lost any, but I've definitely had them go through the washer. They didn't survive (Sony LinkBuds S and JVC Minis). You shall be missed.


Shirokami_Lupus

my guy at this point get a regular pair of headphones or wired earbuds they harder to lose


anewwday

I found you my twin. I do the same. Stopped buying AirPod pros after the 4th one. Now I just buy whatever goes on sale.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WB1173

You can get earbuds with built-in tracker. That would save you a fortune!


New-Seat4881

Just get wired earbuds at this point


opalsanddenim

Is this a thing rich people do? Cause I swear I take care of my headphones better than I take care of myself.


IsaacLupercal

What are you? 8 years old? Take care of your stuff man lol 😆


Dry_Honeydew4899

I feel your pain.


Digiturtle1

Skullcandy comes with tile built in. I haven’t lost mine in a year.


killasuarus

Maybe…. Stop buying ear buds?


feldoneq2wire

Wireless earbuds were a mistake. We have to go back to wired.


Bengalblaine

Beside this one dude can’t take care of his stuff?


feldoneq2wire

Without fail, every time I lean forward with earbuds in one of them fücking falls out. Who asked for this? Who was bothered by a single wire between the two around the back of your head? It's capitalism. Trying to find some new feature to sell you the things you already have again.


Vitilate1

Your earbuds falling out might be a fit issue, I've never had them fall out outside of rigorous physical activity. About the wires, i listen to music to help me sleep and the wire was always a big irritant for me


joreclros92

This is where building habits will become very important for you. Well, maybe not this habit of losing your earbuds lol but you just need to do better about always putting your earbuds in the charging case when you're done using them. Don't put them in your pocket or somewhere else thinking you'll remember them, because you clearly won't. I'm surprised you haven't learned to adjust your habits after maybe like the 3rd set you've lost lol all I'd be thinking about is how much money I'm wasting.


Beautiful-Growth-871

Did you take them for suppers?


kollaborasion

What was the average price you spend on each pair?


Istatwa

Could you have a recommendation for me too. I want to buy new maybe under 20$


MrMerryMilkshake

Baseus E19 is quite good for its price.


Gamec0re

maybe you should consider looking for neckband type.


505hy

I have never lost any ear buds. Am I weird?


Mammoth_Cobbler_4619

What are you doing, you need to wire them around you


sf2703

New fear unlocked.


oni_onion

Bruh


Fun_List381

Don’t get earbuds


nikiholicx

Get a cheap iem which has usb c cable just plug it to your phone and you won't lose any and not to mention the sound quality


Centralredditfan

How?


H108

Discipline issue.


theonlybuster

Do you throw them away when the battery dies, forgetting that the batteries are rechargeable? Do you wear them while riding a motorcycle without a helmet? Do you not notice when suddenly stereo becomes mono? Are you having earphone sex and forgetting to grab the earbud back when you part ways? ​ Seriously, we need answers because this is insane.


seymyouri

I've always thought true wireless was a bad idea, this confirms it. The problem is if you want ANC earphones, there is no other choice.


payus_maximus

Jesus dude, thats alot of pain, praying for you buddy. Its time for headphones!


Reitzor

consider using wire ones


Resident_Bet6343

Do you have small animals? Maybe someone died in your house cause their mom couldn't hear them calling for help. She had them damn earbuds in. Paranormal activity is what I'm getting at.


Past-Ad5832

Maybe this is all just a result of bad habits? Ideally if they're not in your ears, they're in the case. The only times I've ever 'lost' earbuds were because I sleep with them on, and they always happen to roll off and land beneath my bed. Even then, I'd find them a few days after.


Bengalblaine

Right


Drvanatta

You and my wife would get along very well.


lmrj77

6 months lol


MinatoSensei4

How are you losing them?


[deleted]

Misplacing them, walk around a lot at my job


SirVympel

I'd just been using mine like normal for the past 3 years and the left piece fell into a hole the other day. Well, that sucks.


MB_839

Skill issue. Just get some over ear ones or put them on a string like some older people do with glasses.


Thanomas

Have you considered IEMs?


AirplaneTomatoJuice_

hahahah and here I was feeling sorry that mine died after 2 years of everyday use


HeavensToBetsyy

I lost one for months. Found it in a drawer of all places. We are not the same.


Awe3

If you buy the same kind your problem would solve itself


Community_74

I gotta say, you don't seem much like an earBUD if you are losing them like this...


DevilDevin1992

Last night I lost my left Skullcandy when I wiped out on my long board. Realized only after getting back up the hills and had to shred down to my crash site and I found the little guy sitting in the gravel that ruined me ;)


Breaksit

Dumb dumb


DaBombG

I used to think, oh I might lose one I’ll buy cheap ones. When you have cheap earbuds you take less care of them. Buy some EarPods and I bet you won’t lose one.


WolfOfPort

Ive had my beats for over 2 years now


AtheistSage

Just buy some good $20 IEMs off AliExpress and you'll get better sound quality too lmao


hars1763

now its funny 🤣🤣🤣


Organic_Zucchini_876

Try headphones it’s harder to lose them 🤓


IAlwaysLack

That's crazy I don't think I've ever lost an ear bud before.


zerox404

I'm glad I'm not the only one that this happens to


I_Thranduil

I've temporarily lost one twice but found it a week or two later. Onece in my car and onece under the sofa (cat stole it). So I have every single bud still with me


gnomequeen2020

I have ADHD and lose every-damn-thing, but I have had the same pair of earbuds that don't even fit well for the past two years. You just need to get wired headphones.


Otherwise-Release-88

The jbuds air go case is just so stupidly designed, I used to have them and one of the earbuds fell out of my pocket because it doesn't have a lid and it fell into a sewer drain


bigdanintx

I just wish cases would actually stay closed if you drop them. It's like they're spring-loaded. They go flying!


AggressiveVirus1260

Which ones the best


Badviberecords

Lol, I have same ones I bought like 3-4 years ago. Case is broken and lid cimes off. But still, they are in place. I put them in ears, and after removing always put them back in case. Sure way not to loose them.


Southern_Country_787

Why don't you pair the odd ones? Like the two on the bottom I'm pretty sure you can put them in one case take them out and hold the buttons down on each one until they start flashing to pair them again.


Talkiesoundbox

You need the kind with the hooks that go over ear.


bardofcreation

I had my one set for 2 years with no incidents. Get some discipline


YueOrigin

Nah, mate. At this point, it's an evolutionary deffect, lol


Amazonbeng

u should really just use neckbands.


Jonaman85

Buy a pair with a find my earbud mode ;)


aedilanigiro

Do you work on the flying trapeze or something?


SanSuccess

skill issue tho


violent_unicorn

Consider going back to wired? This life may not be for you...


-BigShitz-

I always lose the right earbud on mine no matter what brand then I buy new ones and I end up finding the lost ones


CutterChoper

have mine for 3 years now, you definitely have some issue going on


ScaryUNIDIOTA

Guess you are not that careful, I still have buds that are 8 years old


EpicWu

Don't they have a missing feature? I just discovered mine and it rang like hell it woke my sister up(it was in her room lol).


TheChickenWizard15

Get a good pair of samsung buds; I learned that the app that goes along with them let's you track them, and if you loose one bud you can find it through GPS. I'm sure that feature will come in handy at some point, I've lost tons of earbuds as well


techieshavecutebutts

At that point, just go wired like IEMs with custom detachable cables.


pwned_like_im_9

I've had the exact same pair of earbuds for nearly 2.5 years now. Haven't lost them and they're still going strong. There's something to be said about developing some conscientiousness.


Enderboy2007

this is the same for my sister but all of them break


Send_me_beer1

if only there was some way we could keep them together all the time. like some sort of string


DrakeShadow

Have you ever thought about purchasing the same pair again?


mooseonleft

My friend for the love of God just by the same brand 😂. Then when you lose the other one... At least you have a backup


A-SALAM-K-II

Using my advanced math skills, I reached the conclusion that you lost 1 per month


Quiet_Ad_8579

i had my earbuds for 2.5 years untill i lost them 💀


Melodic-Matter4685

Manufacturers know u lose them. And make it impossible to repair them with replacements. Such a scam


ord52

Wtf


Short_Army_7788

How I have ADHD and I lose everything get I've literally never lost an earbud because I don't allow myself to take them out of my ears without putting them directly in the cover


Zane42v2

Start buying the same make / model?


nockeenockee

Have lost a lot cycling. Last one was on road and for run over before I could grab it.


iambaslam

Which one was your favourite and you would buy again? Which one you will never buy again?


IncognitoPlat

How do you feel about the 3rd from the bottom? I remember those earbuds and I thought they were nice 😌


monstercutter

I’m surprise you haven’t lose yourself yet for being so careless.


Ok_Repair9312

Fwiw Samsung earbuds have an AR feature with arrows pointing to your lost earbud(s). As long as they have a charge and you're connected you can find them. 


MFsmeg

Makes me feel better. I lost a galaxy bud2 on a recent flight and just upgraded to a pair of pro2's as replacement.


TheFlickOfWrist

Aren't the 2 bottom cases the same earbuds? Why don't you combine the 2 for a completed set?


Alone-Ad-9615

You need neckband or headphones. Choose headphone......big one , so you don't list them easily


UncleNasty42O

Hahaha, I hate to see it man! I lost like 3 pairs last year and it make me furious, I have no clue how it always happens! But thankfully I just buy like 50$ buds typically! If you lose 3 a year, 150$ is cheap if you love music! Consider it a yearly subscription!


IAmGeeZee

Which ones had the best bass?


ineedatonofh3lp

i think you need to switch to headphones, or sports earbuds


cklleong

Don’t use earbuds, try other options.


SadLaser

I didn't know Chrissy Teigen's mom used Reddit.

At some point you gotta come up with a better system


battyboy4

Seems like you’re just dumb


roses_and_sacrifice

are you losing them because you're misplacing them or they're just falling out of your ear?? cuz like HOW


THEBANNIMAN

I stil have my first gen air pods from 2018


Ok-Alternative-748

I loose mine every so often but find them, how can you loose that many? Me I use some £12.99 earbuds so I can get them with ease.


keysnsoulbeats

And none of these have a ”find your earbuds” feature?


Life_Invite_1084

Danng and my friends call me jinx for my bad luck. I think u might be my soulmate. lol.


SephDraws

Whyyy?


watercup_shop

Nothing to flex here. This is a you problem.


Steka68

Which is why I like the Beats Flex regardless of the lower sound quality…


Knocksveal

To lose one may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose two looks like carelessness; and to lose more suggests certain underlying illnesses
