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
A friend was complaining that he was always losing his air pods. I told him about my awesome idea to sell a little cord that would connect them so they were easier to keep track of.
He was like, 'Dude! That's a great idea... You've got to start selling those before someone beats you to it-'
Then it dawned on him and he called me an asshat.
they do sell them though lol.
Proves the point, but also shows this weird "form over function" thing
I feel like I'm in the middle ground of this whole post.
I hate the loose "air pods" but I absolutely love my "wireless" earphones that have the solid neckband and wires going to each earbud.
I use them exclusively at work so when someone needs to talk to me I just pop it out and it dangles by the cord. I never lose them and I'm not tied to my phone. I used to hate the damn cable getting caught up on anything and everything ripping my phone out of my pocket/hand.
