A friend recommended these for me, as a good pair to wear while out biking. I saw on Reddit, though, that they got delisted from Amazon for farming fake reviews.

Do y'all know about this brand? Is it worthwhile for passable audio+mic, or just cheap shovelware?

No idea what the current state of taotronics is, but back in the day (early to mid 2010s) they weren't so great. They were the overpriced add ons that cell phone kiosks would try to sell you when you bought a cell phone. Bluetooths headsets, headphones and other stuff that wasn't terrible, it isually felt premium, but would always end up lackluster and shoved in a drawer.

They could be better now, I just remeber them as kinda overpriced crap back in the day
