Sound wise they are exactly the same. This is what bewildered me at the time with the airpods. Everyone is raving about the sound. Same chinsy crappy earppod sound they always had. Might as well use one of the five pairs of those you've accumulated.
replyAnd then also everyone I know who was heavy into airpods has also over time moved off them because, the battery. Everyone uses over ears from Sony now. Like look at what the walkers in your neighborhood are doing, everyone has overears now with actual battery life that isn't going to be ewaste in 18 months.
Heavy usage on these is just killing the battery. It is worst case for battery health: people just draining these down in one session constantly. In like 1 year maybe 2 your battery life has sunk like a stone and apple wants $50 out of you. 10 years half a grand spend on $5 sound quality.
People still steal AirPods despite them being remotely brickable? Jeez.
replyand there is that whole thing of sharing one of your wires with your mate/partner that is super cute and great for bonding I should think.
replyI also been seeing many “protect your brain” shorts on youtube saying that athletes are switching to wired
replyNo doubt with a convenient affiliate/collab/gifted link nearby.
replyI don’t get it, what’s safer about wired headphones?
replyIt's a growing trend in the "alternative" health scene. I have a few friends who should absolutely know better do silly stuff like use wired headphones due to RF, and even as much as turning Wifi off at night for health reasons. Nevermind they just switch to 5G in bed on their phones.
replyAsk them why they stopped wearing their copper bracelet
replyProbably the usual "RF is bad for your head" quackery that has been floating around ever since the first mobile phones, and for athletes, wired devices aren't in danger of getting damaged when they fall out of your ear.
replyI read the implication of AI slop content, so I'm guessing RF emissions.
