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

    Probably not a problem if you buy a sturdy pair of good foldable headphones. It definitely is a problem when cheap headphones try to ape that trend

      Fair. I really recommend TaoTronics, only $60 last time I checked, great battery life and my first pair lasted 3 years before I accidently dropped it on some concrete and shattered it. My current pair has lasted me about 4-5 years. Battery life isn't as good as it used to be, but still works for what I need it for.
