My budget is $1,200 or under but I am willing to pay more based on your recommendation. I am not sure how the Samsung sound bars test out, but I can...Read more

Q. Do you know if people are having trouble with Apple AirPods making their ears drain excessively? I found that whenever I used AirPods my ears would end up completely full of fluid. My wired earbuds do not bother me. I gave my AirPods away and swear I will never purchase or use them again.
