I’m continuing to “digest” the findings from yesterday’s Amazon immersion, we have another budget bluetooth on-ear headphone, this one has the rather unusual feature of getting recharged through the 3.5mm audio port (instead of a USB port). This may sound crazy, but I actually had this very model and can testify I recharged it multiple times 🙂 [see picture #4 below] It comes with a 3.5mm to USB cable for charging.
It is the new condition Tenqa REMXD Bluetooth On-Ears going for $15, sold by the market, with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so you get free 2-day shipping if a Prime member. It averages 3.7 out of 5 based on 399 customer reviews. This uses an older version of Bluetooth, and if my memory serves me well, it sounds very “Bluetooth-y” for music playback, so it’s best suited for spoken work and videos (more talking heads and YouTube as opposed to movies or TV shows with great soundtracks).
If you are looking for volume in earphones, the new condition AmazonBasics In-Ears in the black color scheme with mic/remote are on sale for $3.45 at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of 27 per color per customer.

There are no customer reviews of these, and only this color is on sale. The other two go for 3X as much. The last time I run into these they were going for 4X the price.
