I had a pair from 2018 that broke on me and one ear didn't work anymore and I tried to open it and see if I could fix it, but it's just too damn little for me to even mess with.

They were Soundpeats Q12 Plus.

And I cannot believe how hard it is to find these damn things.

I want just normal wireless earbuds with a wire that connects between the two buds that I can drape behind my neck. I want it to only have 1 "block" inline. I tried the Sennheisser CX 350BT and they sucked. They weren't as loud as my $20 Soundpeats and the "blocks" in line would get caught behind my back on my neck/shoulders and it was just annoying as hell. They also did not fit as well as the others, even using the same exact foam pads.

I don't want ones with the "necklace" that goes around your neck either. I use mine in the gym and that thing fell off any time I lied down or moved around. It's crap for exercising.

So again, looking for some super basic earbuds. Here is a pic of the ones I had before and I cannot find them anywhere because they are out of production.

I think Qualcomm has abandoned aptx-LL for just aptX adaptive.

But you will need a phone that supports it plus the right buds. Has to have a certain snapdragon chipset version to work from what I know.

The aptx-ll portion I need is for my Switch. I simply cannot play games with audio delay it drives me nuts.

I ended up not being able to find a pair so I just got some over the ear aptx-ll ones strictly to take while traveling. Then I got some other cheapo Soundpeats to use at the gym. I was hoping I could just kill 2 birds with one stone but was not able to do it.
