they scare the shit out of me. it's always so anxiety inducing and it's usually not even a real case of kidnapping. 8 times out of 10 it's just divorced couples calling the cops on each other because one of them drove to a theme park with the kids without telling the other
in my state they always send a broken link to a picture too. it's like, what's the point
You have to manually go into your phone's settings to turn it off. I was once jolted awake at 4am by an Amber Alert warning me to be on the lookout for a license plate number in a city 400 miles away. Never again.
Maybe I'm just an old man :chomsky-yes-honey: , but wireless earplugs still seem stupid to me.
The only stupid part is that the batteries only last 1.5 years at most and can't be replaced on 99% of them
Depends on the fit of them. With mine I need a smaller ear tip thingy on one ear and it never falls out
You never get wired earphones caught on something and ripped out of your ears? Or get them all tangled up every time you put them away? Or have to go through a new pair every few months because the wire connected to the right earphone frayed internally?
I prefer wireless headphones, but if someone likes earphones better it makes a lot of sense to me why they'd want them wireless.
I guess I just don't like the idea of depending on signals to get the music to my ears compared to the "hardware" of an actual physical wire doing it instead. With wireless I feel like whatever I'm listening to could just stutter/cut out at any moment due to bad signal strength.
Unless something comes between you and your phone of significant density and is capable of blocking the waves, there's no problem. Bluetooth is pretty powerful, albeit short range.
I've got a good pair and I've never felt like that. There are more points of failure though, yeah. I use mine for noise cancelling, to prevent overstimulation, since I don't like wearing headphones (and especially not having to take them everywhere)
Nah, my AirPods are one of my favorite things tbh. I also use headphones constantly, so I’m kinda the target audience. I have headphones in 80% of the time I’m in public and 20% of the time I’m alone
I like the ones that are a necklace when you're not using them. The actual just plugs ones cost $50 more and seem 10x as easy to fall out and disappear.
Imagine wanting Bluetooth, of all technologies, to determine whether your headphones work or not. Couldn't be me
