It doesn't have to be anything super crazy expensive but something you spent money on that people claimed was great and you copped and it wasn't.

Airpod Pros are ass. The sound quality is very good but it's nothing I haven't experienced before. But they hurt my ears, they're always falling out and they're super sensitive to touch. It hangs up the call if I just scratch my ear or some shyt. Annoying ass shyt.

I know people have different experiences, so I don't want what I say to stop you from getting them, but them shyts have been more annoying than helpful for me.

I much prefer the 2nd generation Airpods for comfortability and they're nowhere near as sensitive.

I ended up going back to them for phone convos, and listening to music or podcasts with the Pros.

Not really expensive but hyped up.

Bought tjhis ready to make some music...and it was not good at all.

The Akai MPC software is almost unusable. Not compatible with Ableton (my preferred DAW). Got built in sounds, but no way to record or loop them. All in all, this is just for novices trying to stunt making trap beats on fruity loops for IG. I sold mine and got an Arturia MiniLab Mk2 which is ten times better.

I wouldn’t call it trash per se but I bought a PSVR (which I ended up selling) and an oculus quest (sitting in a shelf in the closet) during my VR craze phase

*edit*

I bought the OG airpods that I ended up only using once smh...bought a case for it that attached to my key ring and everything for when I was taking a trip...this was about 2 years ago I think...just threw them out last month...shoulda sold them on ebay

also a switch lite...bought it and some attachments that make it easier to grip and an expensive ass leather case for it...used it for one trip then COVID hit...ended up selling it
