Earbuds
(reddthat.com)
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
These worked better than any noise-canceling wireless earbuds I have tried:
They were much cheaper too.
Want new plugs? Get some earplugs, optionally cut in half or trim to size, punch a hole and fit them on.
Portapros were pretty great, too. And cheap.
Those Koss earbuds were so cheap that it wasn't even worth doing that. I think they cost about $20. I had like 3 backup pairs just in case for a while because they were my favorite headphones and they were cheap enough, so why not?
E waste. But you're right. That was another neat thing about Koss.
Can't hear anything over that cable noise!
