I am a basic user, I only use headphones to listen to music and watch movies, I have bought wireless headphones up to 30 euros (I know they are very cheap) the problem is that all the headphones hurt me, the headband headphones are very uncomfortable for me, I have bought many wireless headphones but for some reason they all sound very bad for me, I have a sony MDR-E9LP headphones and they are fantastic for me, they sound very good, but I bought the xiaomi bus 4 lite and I have the feeling that they sound worse than the sony headphones of 5 euros, in addition, the xiaomi have a delay in the audio and it is impossible to play or watch movies, is it just my feeling or the MDR-E9LP sound better?

Should you stop using wireless headphones? No

Should you stop using cheap wireless headphones? Yes

If your budget isn’t that high, I’d say it’s probably better to stay with wired … But wired isn’t necessarily always better than wireless, especially if your an average consumer. I’ve got 2 “main” headphones/earbuds, one being wireless (AirPods Pro 2nd gen) and the other being wired (HD6XX). Both got their pros and cons … some people would say that the HD6XX is the clear winner from an audiophile perspective. But I’d wager that most consumers wouldn’t notice the difference. I also use both for different reasons … my AirPods are my portable commute and comfy earbuds in bed, while my HD6XX are my desktop headphones.

What I mean to say is, wireless != bad. Cheap wireless = bad.

My budget is 60€, I bought the buds 4 lite because it was on sale and I wanted to try them, any recommendation of wired headphones?
