My Bluetooth bone induction headphones survived a month in the bottom of a dishwasher.

As soon as you stop having a cord get caught on everything in your life and get used to pausing/playing with a tap to the ear it all clicks.

But yea the raycon/airpod models don’t appeal to me.

Just run the wire through your shirt and they never catch and you have the added bonus of your shirt catching earbuds that fall out. Not only that, but your phone doesn’t need to be charged halfway through the day.

When I used wireless headphones, either my phone or headphones would die in the middle of a shift, even with my phone at 100% at shift start. With wired headphones, I’d still have 30-40% battery left even after long 10-12 hour shifts. Wireless just aren’t worth the hassle between battery draining and running around looking where they roll after falling out of your ear.

Aftershocks treks titanium. Eventually the inductor on one side got stepped on. It still worked but didn’t fit around my ear well. I’ve had their open run for like? 5 years now? still works great. I charge it maybe once a week and listen to it for around 20 hours a charge. Usually don’t even turn it off when I’m not using it. Just hit the phones Bluetooth cuz that’s still in my hand.

Oh they rebranded to shokz

Yeah, I’ve gotten hooked on using either my hearing aids or my pauseable and microphone containing ear buds. Getting my phone out of my pocket to pause has become an annoyance
