Because they are made with cheap components and materials by indentured workers to indifferent levels of QC?
Your phone is more than likely made by child labor.
Very likely involved at one or more components of the total supply chain, yes.
If not the main construction, then in the gathering or the processing of the resources and materials that go into the end product.
Not just child labour, but legit slavery.
Look up uygher slaves
Probably around $200 a week in U.S. dollars working 50 to 60 hours.
Yeah I've tried all kinds of headphones, they all just broke and yellow stuff exposed out of it.
Hmm - I think you may have actually been listening to eggs.
Common mistake for a beginner audiophile to make.
🤣 how is this comment not more appreciated
Indentured workers? You mean the people who are part of the supply chain of pretty much any brand, chifi or not?
Yes, them.
It's okay within 10 years or so we will be falling down towards them/they will be rising up over us, people just do not understand how the world works. When they're cold hungry and fighting like the dark ages they'll all miss the cheap chinese/indian manufacturing I bet.
