𓀐 @cu92Rr44: Reasons why $5 shitbuds are endgame 1. Costs $0. Price is inverse to quality. Infinite quality. 2. 0.05% THD in Chu2, Castor, Bunny and Waner2. You pay extra for distortion. 3. Paypigs defeated. 4. Smallest form factor. 5. Scales with dongle dacs and cable upgrade for EQ headroom. 6. No defending your purchase on the Internet. 7. Treat friends and family. 8. It's $0 no matter how many you buy. 40 pairs is still $0 peeps should just buy a $5 shitbud and PEQ it to perfection why buy anything else…+ 3
