Recently got my first set of wireless headphones, then my second because they broke in a week. Only just got a phone without a 3.5mm jack on it and it still annoys me a bit.
70% battery… Yeah but there are 2 of them, is the other one equally charged? Fuck knows! The charging box is even worse, it just has a single flashing light.
I still have my first pair of AirPods I got 13 years ago. Used them for 40+ hours a week when I’d be in an office doing nothing all day. Never had any issues with them, and I still use them occasionally (although rarely, after getting a pair of pros.) The batteries are pretty sad after all these years—I get about two or three hours of charge before they have to go in the case.
But they still work, and that’s pretty old!
How’d you get AirPods three years before they were introduced?
I simply use a type-c to aux adapter on my phone. My wired headphones are pretty cheap, but the sound quality is way better than significantly higher priced wireless headphones, at least the ones i personally tried.
Its inconvenient that i cant use headphones while charging, but thats not a problem to me because the phone charges fast and i charge it while i am not using it.
Bluetooth also had variable and high latency, which makes it unusable for quick-reaction / rhythm games.
I’ve done industrial networking protocols but never Bluetooth. I’m guessing some equipment didn’t implement the standard correctly or fully. Typically there’s someone you gotta pay like $10k+ to verify your equipment meets the standard so you can put the logo on the box but I’m sure the headphone or whatever device has pawned that responsibility off to whoever they bought their Bluetooth chip from.

Every time you pair a bluetooth device, it stores the pairing key in its memory. While some devices allow pairing it to multiple devices, most of them only support one pairing at a time. If you paired a bluetooth device to other device, its key is overriden, and you have to do the pairing process again.

I honestly like it. Sometimes I’m listening music on my phone. And when a open my laptop, I don’t want keep listening,not connect to the laptop and listen to an incoming email sound.
