Cant you just leave the adapter on the headphones and negate the problem? As long as you're not charging at the same time

I mean I have a nice pair of overhead headphones but I hate carrying them around so I just use the supplied earbuds and tbh they are OK, theyre mostly convenient. I also have my adapter stuck onto my pair of sennheisers hd 280 so my usecase is 100% the same as before, but I can't have headphones when I'm charging but that never happens to me. If the phone is charging I'm probably sleeping

sony v6 or v7506 are probably the "good" headphone you should try first before inevitably falling down the internet rabbit hole and ending up at $1500 chinese electrostatics that need a special amp

(also, hot tip: the length of each tie is decently long, so for cables (like headphones) that have skinny wires you can just cut the excess of the tie off with some scissors) hifi posted:i use camelcamelcamel because every online store lies about discounts my joke was that i found the item i wanted to buy, found that amazon was the cheapest to order from, and then went thru the color options to find the cheapest color. i ended up with orange b/c i guess that's the least popular? idk

my solution to losing headphones or breaking them is not use expensive ones. i have this $50 BT set of headphones at the moment and they're actually really horrible even though they sound good. has a microphone but cant support non-landline quality audio when using the mic, for some reason. so i cant replace my PC headphones with it. also, you cant charge them and use them, which isnt a big deal either, but means they're worthless PC headphones. so the only use case is when im in public i guess? but thats what my car stereo and looking like a chainsmoking vagrant in the parking lot is for so pretty much i never use them

love it when companies copy even apple's bad decisionsquote:The Pixelbook will reportedly come in only one color, silver, and have three different storage tiers: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. Those will sell for $1,199, $1,399, and $1,749 — at which point you could have easily bought five cheaper Chromebooks instead. One particular oddity: despite the high price, the Pixelbook apparently won’t ship with its stylus, called the Pixelbook Pen, which is supposed to sell for an additional $99.

the $99 stylus thing started with the surface or do you mean making a massively overpriced netbook that no one has any use for at that pricepoint?

as long as you can predict which device of the generation will not turn out to have huge quality issues, not be abandoned without security updates within six months, and wont spontaneously catch fire, android indeed seems a lot better despite a lot of selection bias making people think that is easy it seems to remain a crapshoot though "just get a device that isn't garbo" etc.

Samsung doesn't do their own chip design and qualcom has no incentive to create better chips so it wont change until one of those two things change.
