What are your top 3 purchases of all time? (lemmy.fwgx.uk)

There's 3 things that really stand out for me that I would say made a massive difference to my life:

Cordless screw driver. Bought the day after building a flat pack bed with a crappy screw.driver that just shredded my hand. Thought it was frivolous at the time, but I've used it so much since. It's light, small enough to fit in my pocket and good for 90% of DIY tasks.
Tassimo coffee machine. Bought it 9 years ago, use it every day. Nice quick easy coffee. What's not to like.
My first DSLR camera. It was a Nikon D50 back in 2005/6 and it sparked my interest in photography to this day. It gave me a hobby I can take lots of places and do it alone or with others. I never loved the D50 camera itself, but I did get some really nice shots with it

I haven't had any issues with my XM4, in fact the battery is great

Same here, I use them very heavily and I usually charge the headset once or maybe twice a week depending on usage. I haven't calculated how long they actually last but I absolutely believe the 30 something hours on the box.

I should be clear that I mean the WH-1000XM4.

All true wireless in-ear headphones have an awful battery life of like only 6-8 hours or so.

The one problem I have with the headphones is that moisture from sweat and watering them seems to bring some annoying symptoms.
