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

      I’d imagine the limited lifespan of their batteries and the fact that they have ones to begin with would be of bigger concern

        That’s fair. My first pair still works awesome after five years, and I’ve used them for 40+ hours a week for that whole time. I only have a new pair because I needed ANC, but I still use my old pair to sleep.

          I think the headphones I’m using are 20 year old. But to be fair, a lot of them either don’t last that long or are simply thrown away for some new thing.
