We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

        You might want to edit the comment since in the context it definitely sounds like saying wireless would be better

          Not really, no. I’m responding to a comment about cheap buds that break too easily, which isn’t exclusive to wired ones.

          There’s literally no mention of the wired vs wireless aspect in my comment or the one I’m replying to.

            My friend, the whole thread is about wireless vs. wired. That’s the context your post is in. And you’ve already had several people misunderstanding your intention because it is written in that context without clarification that it’s not supposed to be the same as other comments here.

              Not my comment. I’m clearly commenting on a separate aspect. That others try to ascribe a nonexistent secondary meaning that I haven’t so much as hinted at isn’t my fault.

              without clarification that it’s not supposed to be the same as other comments here.

              I’m personally not a big fan of spelling out the obvious, but ok:

              You’re wrong to assume that my comment follows the previous theme from pure proximity and it’s annoying to have to bend over backwards to facilitate the poor reading comprehension (if not bad faith) of people making up their minds about what I’m saying before reading it.

                You seem to have been overestimated how clear that was.

                That others try to ascribe a nonexistent secondary meaning that I haven’t so much as hinted at isn’t my fault

                That’s just how context works.

                Idk if you know how conversation work but people typically use and understand context. If you don’t mind people misunderstanding you, then no need to do anything. If you do mind it, it might be helpful to spell things out. But it’s up to you really, I don’t mind either way.

                    You know, a better way to stop the discussion would be to just stop replying and walk away from it. Some might think it a bit rude if you try to order them to stop lol.

        I’d imagine the limited lifespan of their batteries and the fact that they have ones to begin with would be of bigger concern

          That’s fair. My first pair still works awesome after five years, and I’ve used them for 40+ hours a week for that whole time. I only have a new pair because I needed ANC, but I still use my old pair to sleep.

            I think the headphones I’m using are 20 year old. But to be fair, a lot of them either don’t last that long or are simply thrown away for some new thing.
