We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
I feel like I’m in the middle ground of this whole post.
I hate the loose “air pods” but I absolutely love my “wireless” earphones that have the solid neckband and wires going to each earbud.
I use them exclusively at work so when someone needs to talk to me I just pop it out and it dangles by the cord. I never lose them and I’m not tied to my phone. I used to hate the damn cable getting caught up on anything and everything ripping my phone out of my pocket/hand.
