That's true. Buying Chinese electronics is a lottery (usually). I would, however, recommend some Xiaomi products. They are really excellent considering the price.

BTW I actually ended up buying Sennheiser headphones after I returned the crappy ones.



Well the actual driver inside should last you a lifetime, the plasticky headband on the other hand...

The Sennheisers branded ear pads or Brainwavz (IIRC) ear pads are a bit expensive ($20+).

You can get generic "memory" foam ones on AliExpress for $4.

It's not actually memory foam and they might send you the wrong type, and it's a tight fit (just remember to breathe !?) but they work.
