Yeah, let's introduce a major structural flaw and a point of failure to a perfectly sound design :agony-shrooms:

And for what?

"Foldable headphones are so convenient and portable when you're not using them!!"

YOU WEAR THEM AROUND YOUR NECK WHEN NOT USING THEM, DIPSHIT

These stupid hinges turn cheap headphones from durable and reliable backups to instant e-waste

Source: just had a pair of cheap bluetooth headphones crack at the hinges because it was slightly below freezing

      Once had the headphone jack break on me on a previous phone, been mainly using bluetooth outside ever since

      Have had hinged wired headphones break on me too, hate these things

        Depending on the phone I'd consider repairing, but also :anprim-pat:

          It was a phone that was cheap enough that the cost of repair would've been almost the same as the price I bought the phone for

      I got so used to being able to duct tape unruly wires into the perfect position as a kid/teen that I refuse to use bluetooth now.

      I cant tape the air!
