  • Compared to what?

    Corded earphones that go in the ear would give you the same problem. You can buy over ear Bluetooth headphones, and the ones I use for work have a charger where one battery is in and one is charging.

    Shokz batteries last forever and still let you hear surroundings, so they are go-to for leaving the house. And for just audio, phone battery doesn’t matter either.

    No cables for Bluetooth, and I wouldn’t wear earbuds anyway.

    Additional bonus: my wife and I used to dance before kids and we can connect TWO sets of headphones for same audio without having to be touching, or we can listen to same audiobook while walking.

    Of course, no cable snags or tangles either.


  • I agree with the fact that I don’t need one anymore. Bluetooth connections (MULTIPLE simultaneous connections) is great for me.

    Why are you guys still using corded headphones on mobile? Is everyone an audiophile but somehow also using mobile phone as a primary media device? Allergic to charging? Too cheap to upgrade your gear? What is the use case that makes this an unpopular opinion? I’m not saying use USB C instead, I’m saying ditch the physical connections altogether.
