So, basically this writer is admitting here that she's not careful enough to own and protect high quality products. Cool. So don't buy them. Just run without music or use your crappy cord.

Even then, there's so many sellers of these things, just buy a brand that's more established etc. -- what a non-article.

superior cord, but ok. the only drawback to a cable is it gets snagged on stuff which is easily circumvented by having the cable in your shirt down to your pocket. the drawbacks to those things are battery, losing 1, losing both, losing the case, pairing issues, wireless quality, pairing issues and I'm sure there's a bunch more.

The other drawback to a cord, no phones fucking come with jacks anymore. "Just use the USBC" isn't a solution until they start putting at least two USBC ports, either.

I miss my damn cords.
