i have one i ordered on amazon and when i tested it there was static. it had great reviews too. so finding a good one isnt a guarantee.

i was looking them up today and it looks like apple's is good and probably google too.

im considering getting this one which the article i found it at had listed at $28. now its $43.

maybe i should order the google one and if its no good i can order this one (hopefully it comes back down in price by then)

the other part is im debating finding a solution i can use with my phone and also my turntable but not sure if thats a worthwhile solution to search for.
