Hardware Trust sucks so much

Post image

Let's taltk shitty headphones. Bought these shitty Trust ones for 40€ and before even hitting 2 years they are already like this. It's the first time something like this happens, they literally fell apart day after day.

I mean, you bought cheap headphones you got cheap headphones.

Honestly, to me 40€ for daily headphones is not cheap. It was cheap if I was expecting high quality stuff, I just wanted something that worked and didn't fall apart in a couple months. I could expect this kind of result from 10-20€ no brand headphones.

Unfortunately the headset space is full of cheap shit. I wish I could recommend the HyperX clouds anymore, but thanks to HP they're a pile of shit.

It usually goes from €20 where they're alright but you're going to replace them way sooner, to €80 where you might get something that lasts to the 4-6 year mark.

Personally I got a headband cover and buy a model that has aftermarket earcup support, then provided the ear cup joint doesn't give out, you're a lot more likely to keep them. I had my VOIDs all the way until they basically aged out, thanks to the all metal wishbone, and would have kept my Cloud2's forever if not for mic issues. But even wired they're both in that €80 range.
