  • It just seems like cables bother you more than me. But I also don’t live in a city with a lot of walkability or good public transit. I would use wired headphones on my college campus, when I was done with them, I’d wrap them around my phone, unplug them and then slide the coiled wire loop off my phone and put them in my pocket. I also don’t care if the wires are out while my phone is in my pocket and my headphones are in. I’ve never run the wires through my shirt.

    I used to run in highschool, and I just got used to holding my phone while I ran with headphones in. Idk man, maybe I’m just old lol.

    Right but you could better quality and the same quality of speakers for literally less than half the price, and they’ll be more repairable because all you need to do to fix them is solder some wire. I also disagree that they do everything better but that’s really subjective. I can see using wireless headphones at the gym and things, but wired headphones still very much have a place imo.

    If you have earbuds with a case, you charge them every time you put them in the case, and to add insult to injury a majority of those batteries are not replaceable when they 100% could be. That’s really my biggest gripe, they’re made to be not only finite, but disposable. It’s just such a waste.

    1. Bluetooth as an audio standard is factually lower fidelity

    2. The average expected life span of a Li ion battery is 5 years

    3. I don’t know how you kill headphones so quickly, but you can 100% get quality wired earbuds for a third of the price of wireless earbuds with nice, thick, threaded cable. The YouTuber dankpods has a few videos about this with recs for cheap, good headphones.
