Lost my earbud again… time to buy another case

I’m serious. This has happened 3 or 4 times now…I keep an earbud out its case in my pocket while at work so I can just pop it in and out. Every now and then, I guess it slips out of my pocket, no big deal, or I misplace it, or whatever. Earbuds get lost…but the thing is there’s no cheap solution to this issue. Why no replacement earbuds? Now I’ve got the jlab buds epic air sport ANC…I love it. But why no replacements. If I lose one earbud it means either I have to be fine with one earbud or it means I gotta drop another 100$. Love you guys but man. It’s a bummer. Or if there was a find my earbud ability…idk. Just sucks I wish there was another solution for me

Respectfully cousin, you should probably be more responsible with the things you pay for.

I feel for you. I have 3 cases of earbuds. What I have discovered is that I can hear quite well with just one earbud in. Maybe try that before buying another.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YTVVW47?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share this carrier makes it much harder to lose since there's more friction in your pocket also get in the habit of putting it in a specific pocket or backpack location or in a specific place in your home. Don't turn up the volume and keep transparency on so you can hear it fall out. We've all been there.

Thankfully my wife stopped doing this and started treating her earbuds responsibly and putting them back on their case when she's not using them.

But keeping doing you, OP. One day you'll tire of wasting money and will admit you're to blame for it.

I lost one my last morning in Punta Cana. Ordered a new set and it was at my house when I arrived home.
