Did you know Apple still makes $19 USB-C EarPods? I've tried a bunch of wired earbuds recently and they're still the best choice for most people www.pcmag.com/explainers/i...
I Tried 4 Pairs of Wired USB-C Earbuds Under $30. There Was One Clear Winner
Wired headphones are having a bit of a renaissance, but are there any affordable options that actually sound good? Of the four I tested, there's only one I would use every day.

I’m tinkering with TikTok and Instagram to add short videos alongside written stories. Tapping follow would be a big help. (Just be aware that the videos might suck for a while 😂) www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8yw4vEG/
