lol, love it when people try to justify purchases that end up as e-waste after a couple/few short years.

Love my AirPods Pro man. No wires, great sound and noise cancellation. I have never had them fall out of my ears, even when working out.
If your earbuds are falling out, clean your ears and your earbuds before you put them in. Either that, or you need tips that fit your ear better. If you have those ear canals that don’t want anything in them, we also now have great (and wireless!) headphones now too.
Wires are really just for those audiophile enthusiasts, people who can’t be bothered charging wireless things, or people who would lose their head if it wasn’t attached.
To each their own, of course. :)

I would never praise these things, but I’ve been using the same pair for 5 years now. Why would they become e-waste so quickly?

They have batteries, batteries do not last long

That’s fair. I’m not exactly testing their endurance, just use them for YouTube and podcasts, so it’s likely they’ve degraded quite a bit without me noticing.

The product I’ve had since 2021? Shut the fuck up.

However, a lot of companies dropped headphone jacks, because they could both save a buck on them, make them even more slightly thinner to the point it starts to impact usability, and create a market for 3rd party accessories (wireless head/earphones, converters, etc.).

Umm, you might want to read it again.
LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Why…?
Benaaasaaas@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Cause it said nothing about dropping earphones, it was all about saving phone with audio wire.

Okay? And there are plenty of other people on here talking about their own stories, so why the fuck can’t I talk about mine?
