I wanted to do some purchases before there is an extra tax Duty introduced in EU, but everything became so expensive, except for the small things such as phone cases. Coin discounts are also kind of useless, I think those are county specific (for instance, in Germany you get 50% off the price, but in Finland just 15% for the same item). At this point it's just cheaper to shop in a local store during the discount season. I have been using AliExpress for more than 15 years, and it has never been such bad regarding pricing. lets say I check user reviews of Baseus F02 mouse, people write that they paid 6 USD, but now the price is 17 USD with "super Sale". So sad to see it.

Maybe my AliExpress is broken, and yes, I'm from EU so it adds extra 25 percents VAT tax, but all the reasonable budget options that were suggested before (such as VXE r1 SE) cost above 30 USD? It would be strange to pay that much if it was available at around 15 USD some time ago.

So yeah, I like the sound (but i don't like the shape, it doesn't stand upright).

But the most annoying feature is that it turns off by itself after some time while playing music. All items are affected, it's a firmware feature. Actually, I noticed, when it's plugged to a charging cable it doesn't turn off at all, so is there any better workaround than keep a small power bank attached all the time?
