    I got a feeling this is gonna be annoying as hell, given various timing delays from different devices.

    Hell, my matching earbuds can’t even stay in phase half the time.

        Unfortunately my left one won’t charge anymore, but when it did, half the time it wouldn’t sync up in time with my right one.

        They’re not exactly name brand, so I can’t complain much, but yeah that can be an issue, and it’s really annoying to listen to when they don’t exactly sync up.

          Mine were like $20, so I didn’t expect much. Similar boat, I think.

          Does my phone connect to both earbuds individually, or is one the primary and it passes on the audio to the other?

            That I do not know. Mine were advertised as being able to individually connect to two different devices, but I never tested that supposed feature.

            Sigh, left one now dead, guess I’ll never get to test that ☹️

      Won’t matter that much for just sharing music/tv/movie/youtube with a friend in public
