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

      One pair I just flexed them too much I guess while taking them off my head and they snapped. I think the cords got fucked up on one or two and I lost audio to like one side.

        Damn, that sucks. I’ve lost many a pair to my cats fucking the cords though, so I feel you on that last bit.

      This is precisely why I hate the fucking plastic hinges so much, these cheap knockoff headphones would last a long time without them
