The Evolution of Smart Home Technology: What’s Next?
Smart home technology has evolved dramatically over the last decade, transforming how we interact with our living spaces. Initially, home automation was seen as a luxury—an area for early adopters. The first wave included simple systems like programmable thermostats and lighting controls.

The mids seem to be waiting to be utilized and the bass can be overpowering (at least for my taste, for some songs this is a fun aspect of the earbuds). The construction is only worrying with regards to the cable, especially having to deal with replacing the M6 PRO's audio cable every 6 months. The fit in my ears is just OK. Honestly, that's really the only thing convincing me to give these a 4.5/5 if it was possible. If you have up to $50 to spend on earbuds go for something like the M6 PROs or something on Massdrop for that price, these aren't some magical pair that'll out perform a good $50 pair. HOWEVER, at $10 + around $2 in shipping, this is definitely a great pair of earbuds for the type of person that breaks earbuds often or isn't comfortable with spending more than $10 on earbuds. Perhaps it is also great for the type of person that I am: a forgetful, clumsy, yet particular headphone aficionado that needs a solid alternative when the main pair of earbuds become victim to my poor habits.
