That is a GREAT deal on the Beat Flex headphones. I am amazed how under rated these are. I rarely see anyone with them. I have the AirPods Pro and find myself using the Beats Flex more and more over those simply because it's so nice to not worry about losing individual AirPods. Much more convenient than keeping tracking of the AirPod ear pods and nice to have "hanging around" when out and about. I'm not even close to being an audiophile, but to my ears sound quality isn't really much different. Highly recommended to anyone who's considering them - especially for that price! (I might even snatch a back up pair or one for my wife!)

I bought the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro two weeks ago. Despite only using them on an iPhone or iPad they are much better than the AirPods.

Only thing I see Airpods going for them over any other pair of wireless earbuds is the fact that they have real multipoint; connected to two devices at the same time.

There are very few that actually do this (I wish Jaybird Vista 2s did, these are the ONLY earbuds that actually fit well and dont fall out of my ears).

I can say the same for the Soundcore P2. I got them as a gift last Christmas and they surprisingly work and sound pretty well
 
$10 off 365, the subscription that shouldn't exist, what a steal /s

The 1TB of OneDrive is actually not a terrible deal at face value, I've personally only had issues with 1D however. It's an interesting value proposition to begin with, bundle cloud with Office. Average word doc is 4-8 kB, I definitely write enough to fill 1TB...

FWIW, you can still get Microsoft Office as one-time license purchases. However, if you're going to have multiple users, then you're likely coming out ahead by doing this instead since the cost is now getting split 2 to 6 ways instead. For others, the 1 TB of cloud storage isn't too shabby on its own. If you're just one user, the 1-user license should still be available for $80 per year.

I'm on the fence on whether or not I'd do O365. I already got Office 2016 through Microsoft Home Use Program for $10 (they've since changed it for discounts on their O365 sub... 30% off). If not for that, I'd still lean towards a 1-time purchase and use it for as long as possible. My father had Office 2002, and only a few months back did Windows force him to upgrade to Office 365, so it should be 20 years! ;) We opted instead to just use Libre Office for free.

I'm not subscription averse, but I'd still like to keep them to a minimum. I've been rotating streaming services, and can't get myself to renew Apple TV+ nor Apple Arcade (and I use Apple products so little that Apple One is definitely not worth pursuing).

Appearance, color, sound, ear fit, and ear fit security. Downside is since I am using them on an iPhone and iPad I don’t get the full range of functionality.

All but sound are subjective or vary with individual. A lot of people seem to have gotten bum pairs. I would be interested to see a comparison in sound quality with the second generation.

I agree. When a person feels one product is better than another the opinion is a combo of objective/subjective.
 
galaxy buds live is the worst scam ever, they will fall out of the ears, audio is horrible and mic.
 
I absolutly love my Galaxy Buds Live, they are without a doubt the best fitting buds I've ever used. I've tried the new buds from Samsung, but they don't quite have that same fit. I wish they kept the same design, or that other buds makers would incorporate it because it seals my ears without being uncomfortable like other rubber tip designs.

I never had any luck with Apple's airpods, they fall right out with any movement. The sound on the Buds Live is quite good, not incredible but definitely excellent when it comes to music.

FYI they are $109 on Samsung's website, and you can trade in any crappy wired headphones and get another $20 off.
