People were happy with the included wired iPhone earbuds for years, even though they were terrible.

Listening on a laptop speaker Sumo sounds fine. Listening on my wireless earbuds it is... ok.

The quality question is what's the point of stuffs like that, or is it good, even safe, for us to consume.
