Wired 3.5mm jack.

Hear me out. I don’t use Bluetooth headphones. They don’t last the commute and work day.

With a jack you can listen and charge you phone at the same time and never worry about charging your headphones/iem.

If I need to use Bluetooth for connection I still can but overall better battery life

Nvm replaceable batteries, I keep buying 2-3 pairs of ear buds a year because I keep forgetting them in my pants when I wash them, or I give them a pat down and don't feel them inside of them.

My wife wanted me to buy her a pair of air pods.

I'm like, get a pair of headphones to last you more than a month, then we'll talk.

I can't tell you how many pairs of cheap earbuds we've gone through. Either lost or eaten (damn dog). Almost always just the right earbud. Never the left. I have so many lefts left.

Nice, how make one with the earbuds attached to each other with a wire and I’ll buy it for sure!

All of these honestly ought to just come with a small hole and bring your own 'lanyard'/'string'. I can't imagine it would require much in terms of design to put a hole in a corner.

Cool. Their first gen Fair buds were kinda pointless. The headphones though, the Fair buds XL are excellent. I bought a pair recently and I love them.

Now I just wish that they would bring their phone to a US provider that is not T-Mobile. I can't buy their phone until it runs on a network that I can use.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

wat? you cannot buy the phone and then choose the provider yourself?
