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

    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.

      Fair point. Sustainability really should be a priority. I don’t always return them to the case because a don’t use them for too long at a time. But even if I do, charging them for 10% isn’t the same as charging them for 100%. (I’m just stating that because the “5 year battery life claim” is absurd).

      If you’re a heavy user wired ones will probably be better for you, but I reccoment trying out both. I was really against the bluetooth ones before I bought a pair and now I’m really happy with them. It all depends on your situation.
