Personally I had way too many quality issues at that price range. An earbud would be randomly quieter than the other, the battery of an earbud would die, the Bluetooth would suck, or they would be unusable for phone calls.

Trump appeared on Epstein’s flight logs at least 7 times confirmed in a court of law it’s not even conjecture to say he is on there.
