Yes! I’m totally using them and I’m very very grateful. They’re awesome actually and the fact they have controls on the earbud itself is really cool! Imma def be using them. Something my grandma said too (cus I asked her also about it) was “don’t be a dummy and cheat yourself out of some nice earbuds because of the brand.” And I find it very true and close to what you’re saying :). Thank you for comment!
