"Your 'jams' have come to an end, mon Capitan."
Wired headphones are the answer. Sound better, no batteries, no charging - ever -, excellent cross-device compatibility and a ton of other advantages I've written about elsewhere.
If only companies wouldn't remove the jack left, right and centre for mostly lousy excuses.
This is basically my opinion: https://www.soundguys.com/was-ditching-the-headphone-jack-a-good-idea-13825/
The convenience of not being wired to my device outweighs “better” sound.
Wired doesn’t immediately make it sound better. Plenty of crap or just cheap wired ones.
What is great is never getting up and have your ears ya led and and your phone sent flying because you forgot you set your phone on the table. Or worse, the cables got caught on the door knob.
The wire was always a point of failure that broke and needed me to buy new headphones though.
But now instead you just have no options when the batteries die, which in my experience has never broken 2 years.
The annoying thing is that there was a solution for this. They sold earbuds with anti-knotting wires a few years ago. I bought Sennheiser earbuds with anti-knotting wires, used them day in, day out, on the road in my pockets and at home at my desktop and they lasted for two and a half years. Given how much I used them, that's a long time. I bought the same model again and they too lasted very long. Now they suddenly did away with the perfect solution and want to do everything wireless as if we can spare the lithium. It's ridiculous.
They got rid of 3.5mm jacks because for 95% of the customer base they were as useful as bellybuttons, they collected lint. If you want to use a jack, get a dedicated audio device and pick whatever phone you want.
I would love a Q version of Siri.
Why can't they just add a beep. My earphone speakes whole sentence "battery low please put earphone for charging"
I’d actually be less annoyed if Patrick Stewart’s voice told me low battery.
Low battery, hot.
I just started watching Billions for the first time, and I'm doing so through my nice over the ear headphones. When he's speaking in low tone, Paul Giamatti's voice is ready for ASMR prime time.
I ultimately didn't like that show but I might rewatch the first few episodes just for that velvet voice. Who knew he was hiding honey underneath the bed of Rusty nails that is his yelling?
Lakutis could just wirelessly charge them, though.
Picard didn't know what we was giving up in convenience.

thanks, been a while. misremembered.
wireless is NOT ALWAYS the future, everything i own that can work both wired and wirelessly works just as well if not better (in the case of my Quest 2) when in wired mode. i fucking hate bluetooth. i need about 3 times as long to connect my bluetooth headphones compared to sticking a 3,5mm jack in a hole. not to mention the limited bitrate and having to constantly plug in a cable to be able to use my wireless devices.
okay rant over. (and i am not a boomer, i am not even in my 20s)
Mine says it 3 times in 2 minutes and just shuts down. Which I find odd, because I admit it's getting old, but the battery still lasts 2-3 hours with a full charge.
Damn, 2-3 hours only? Mine last through a 10 hour shift, granted they barely make it to the end of the day at around 10% but I'd be buying new ones if they stopped making it through my full shift.
My Jabra headphones last 2-3 days, with meetings and listening to music.
battery low, please recharge headset
