On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

Haven’t tried them, and given how Apple has made no effort to implement basic featues for Android, I won’t (seriously, you telling me a 50€ pair of wireless earbuds can show battery level on any Android/iPhone, but Apple can’t be bothered?!).

Brand was just an example, 100 more to choose from. But I’m using Airpods on Android and they can show battery level with a 3rd party open source app

Fair enough, but showing battery level isn’t something that should require installing additional apps. TWS buds are generally bulkier because of battery and bluetooth tech that needs to fit in addition to the driver.

If I had to choose wireless I would probably go with something like FiiO UTWS5 since bluetooth and battery sit outside your ear.

I mean they are not made for Android so I’m not mad about it. And it’s still been a really comfortable headphone experience. I sometimes forget I’m even wearing them because the fit is that good.

I’m three years in now and they also still hold up battery wise. You can get apple care+ if you’re a heavy user and are worried about battery.

ANC on the go is a blessing while travelling and transparency mode is super convenient if you wanna talk/listen whithout taking them out.

But I think I would have a similar experience with another brand probably, I just happen to have those ones so I can’t talk about others.

Interesting concept, but would probably be too heavy for my ear.
