thing is that you can have your cake and eat it too, you just have to make some very slight compromises and be clever about things.

the UK is a tiny nation with very little actual nature left, it should not be surprising at all that they don't want tons of people building cabins in the woods and turning the entire fucking island into a single suburb of london

all golf courses could be turned into lovely detailed botanical gardens/arboretums where everyone could take lovely walks and have picnics for free.

what i don't understand is how that's supposed to be a bad thing, the only bad part of this is being patented by apple

just wait for the generic quasi-unbranded (you know, like "denver") version, which will cost $60 and work better than apple's version, just with the downside that it'll look boring and cheap

see i have no problem with thin silicone cases, that just seems like common sense.
but the thick ones i do not understand, how would you end up in a situation where you need that much protection for something as light as an earbud case? Surely the silicon sleeve is just there to prevent scratches?

i think it's a pretty great idea, but not useful for everyone

i would very much like to be able to put my music on a separate device and be able to play it independently of my phone.

it kills me that urbanears stopped making the Plattan Bluetooth model, it was basically the perfect design for on-ear headphones

Note the 3.5mm jack, it could do both wireless and wired, and you could even use the jack to output music! like come on how is this not the standard design? i have seen the light and now every time i look at other headphones they just seem obviously subpar

LPT: pull up on your ear while inserting earbuds, this will let them squeeze further into the ear canal which has been the difference between them refusing to stay in the ear, and being rock solid in there. Better seal against outside noises as well.

what universe do you live in? wireless is obviously more convenient since you just put the buds in your ears and click play, with wires you have to also put in the wire and you have a physical cable that can get caught on things or get in the way.

just get a pair of cheapo wireless earbuds and genuinely try using them, you'll most likely realize that it is actually way more convenient and that actually you just wanted to be a reverse hipster.
