Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds

So many phones don’t have headphones jacks anymore. Bluetooth is a bigger hustle than just plugging in a wire. And all the cheap ones use Micro-B instead of C for charging, so now you have to worry about two wires. USB-C/lightning to Aux adapters are unnecessarily uncommon and take the charging port. Same with wired headphones that have a USB-C or lightning jack.

The tech companies have made courtesy inconvenient.

What? Literally every single pair of Bluetooth headphones I own auto connect to my phone by the time I have both buds in my ears.

I bought a cheap pair of anker ones a couple years ago for gardening and they’re USB c. I don’t think micro has been in use for a while now.

  I have two sets of Bluetooth earbuds/headphones - in ear, and over the ear. But I connect them to my phone, my tablet, my laptop and my PC. They only stay connected to two devices so there are always two devices that aren’t connected. It’s a pain in the ass. I miss wired headphones.

    Buy a third set and then pick two devices for each pair.
