Tranya Sports Wireless Earbuds in may 2018 which were crap so returned and quickly followed by Anker ZOLO Liberty Plus (also crap) June 2018 so went back to Soundpeats and B&W BT+Wire and Neckband style.

2018... my first TWS...
What were your first ones?

Final Audio ZE3000.

Still the only ones I have. I won't be buying any for the foreseeable future and until lossless codecs are the norm. I don't need more e-waste at this point.

Why come here and post this? Awfully close to trolling.

Since when did trolling became the term for "voicing a different opinion that I don’t like" exactly?

The post called true wireless "e-waste". Why come to a true wireless forum to declare them "waste". That is close to trolling.

"Trolling is when someone posts or comments online to ‘bait’ people, which means deliberately provoking an argument or emotional reaction. In some cases they say things they don’t even believe, just to cause drama. "

Galaxy Buds +. They were ok as far as I remember.

Let me ask you this. Have you heard the Svanar or the Prestige? Would you consider them "ewaste"? Opinions are one thing. Trashing an entire product category is an entirely different thing.

They were awful and had stereo drift, yet I suffered and thought they were the greatest thing in the world

I said "e-waste" because once the battery is dead, you have no other option than throwing them away and replacing them. It's a fact and I'm not trolling.

Hence I'm not invested too much in TWS but I'm still interested in the tech itself and its advancements.

Fair enough. I hereby withdraw my "troll" comment. But I think the battery thing is overplayed. I've never had used a TWS long enough to have a battery fail. The tech advances so fast that the TWS is outdated before the battery. I understand others buy to keep longer term however.

that was a feature not a bug.

That makes the "e-waste until wireless is lossless" argument even more impactful.
