Why? Honest reviews will show you. Gotta know which reveiws are honest, though. I don't trust Soundguys much anymore, as thier reviews have become too generous, and Tomsguide is straight up shilling now. Techradar & Howtogeek seem more balanced to me, at least by comparison and by degree:

Key take-aways for me include: No onboard controls, kind of "meh" sound, even when trying to compensate via EQ; (though you might like it if you're a pure bass head & don't care about the rest) It lacks treble & has a flat choppy sound quality, and there's zero support for high-res audio codecs (SBC only). These are the main reasons I didn't go for it.
So, for the original MSRP of 80, hells no. For 45 bucks you're probably getting your money's worth even with all its limitations. For 30 bucks on special sale (which will no doubt come around again) it's a great bargain, better than anything, anywhere that I know of, at that price point.
Finally, with patience & research, I think it's possible to find something significantly better, even between that $45 -- $80 price range, either new or refurbished.
Happy hunting!
