I bought the Airpods Pro 3 and while I feel they are a little bright I don't dislike it at all.

The cables are too short, but if I use a jack extender cable I usually get issues, how to solve problem without moving my PC's case jack port closer to my head?

One of the smaller porta amps out there.

Unfortunately no sound impressions yet because my DX340 died and I'm waiting for my M27 Ti to arrive

Being a clueless tourist who doesn't EQ or understand audiophilia and found the Hola good but a bit tinny, what wireless earbuds would you recommend? I see youtubers pushing this melobuds n70 hard, but I don't trust them.
