I need some new earbuds, and live in a place with severe winters. I want to be able to access the controls using gloves or mittens if possible.

The online reviews I’ve seen all assume that you can just touch the earbuds with bare hands, but when it’s well below freezing, that sometimes isn’t possible. If I have to take off a mitt to use my earbuds my hand might not warm up until I can get back indoors again. Earbuds that work with touchscreen-capable gloves aren’t good enough either. I’ve never seen touchscreen-capable gloves that keep your hands warm at -40C.

Any suggestions?

    Hmm, that’s a reason to avoid them then. Who knows what will happen to their customer support if they stop selling earbuds.

      Well earbuds are just a small portion of their business. I don’t think they will lose full support
