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
Meh. I don’t miss getting the cord caught on door handles and having the earbuds violently yanked from my ears!
I like having choices so you do your thing even if it’s not the same as my thing.
I’ve literally never had that happen to me, but I’ve always seen it posted constantly. It’s it partially a meme? Or is everyone just constantly getting their headphones ripped out?
It definitely used to happen to me!
It’s not a meme, I’ve broken countless headphones that way. Well, maybe not on door handles, but e.g. in a bus there may be a lot of things the cable can catch on, like arm rests
It’s this for me, too. I like to pop them in (or really just one) while I do chores and stuff. I did it before the wireless ones too. And now, I feel spoiled by the lack of wires-getting-caught-on-stuff that I don’t want to go back to wired as my primary earbuds.
That being said, I do keep several spare pairs of wired earbuds around, and I am planning on picking up an inexpensive pair of in ear monitors for quiet, music practice
I would just run the cord up the inside of my shirt when I was at the gym or around the house.
I’ve tried that so many times, and I just hate the way it feels. And depending on the material or type of shirt, it’d the cord wouldn’t move as smoothly, and my earbuds would loosen
