I see ads on Facebook Marketplace and the like for used AirPods and it grosses me out. I can’t imagine putting that in my ear after it was in some stranger’s ear. I feel similarly with friends and family to a lesser degree.

I just had a guy offer to trade my MacBook for his used AirPods and I felt like barfing 🤢

Its fine if you replace the squishy ear part or clean it.

I dont know man. Even with cleaning that's still ick factor. I mean would you buy a used dildo?

Surgical stuff is reused, or do you think every clamp is disposable?

Surgical stuff is also being cleaned/sanitized/disinfected a whole hell of a lot better than you could clean an earbud.

Yeah I don't think earbuds would survive and autoclave.

That’s true. Though nothing like that is on some of the AirPods, at least natively.
