Some idiot decided that headphone jacks are not as good as… buying earbuds that cost 3x or more what I “paid” for the ear buds with a wire and are so easy to misplace, I’m no audiophile I just want to hear someone talk. So I only listen to stuff if there is no one close and lower the volume if people get close to me so as not to disturb them

TBH I’m way more likely to break headphone wires than to misplace wireless earbuds.

  as long as they are comfortable over my glasses, any cans with removable cables are good enough for me. and they started making usb-C to 3.5 cables so i don’t have to keep buying shitty adaptors, i can just buy shitty cables!
  
  unasked for shill, but like glasses that are comfortable over cans are rare so if anyone wants to know
  i use OneOdio cans (that’s fun for spanglish speakers) because they make good cheap comfortable headphones. I think this current pair has been around six or seven years. the sounds quality is Great For $35 and they are comfortable over my glasses for extended periods. Like we’re talking 7-8 hours it’s ridiculous.
  
  fuck. strike that, reverse it, i’m getting more coffee

    Glasses+overear headphones is something I struggle with. I generally use in-ear headphones on the go, but those come with their own issues; I actually got a set of in-ear headphones for musicians recently, they have replacable cables but there’s even more cable noise (amplified sound from walking, clothes rubbing against the cable etc.) than for standard consumer in-ears, plus I don’t really like their sound.
    
    What model of OneOdio headphones do you use? I assume they don’t all have the exact same level of comfort.

  I run the wire under my top layer, tho I have misplaced wired headphones, so it doesn’t get caught on anything but since my pixel 6, that I still use, the headphones have been coiled and sitting in a drawer

    I’ve always done it that way, doesn’t help much. IDK how this keeps happening, I’m also breaking phone and laptop headphone jacks.
