For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Yes, and I'm thinking my next phone will be one of those.

I have a much better time with wired earbuds than with bluetooth.

Forgot my bluetooth headphones the other day on a long trip and the 3.5mm jack saved my rear end.

Just needed to stop at a shop briefly for some cheap plug-in buds and I was no longer listening to babies screaming on the journey. As a bonus, it also didn't interfere with me charging my phone

I'd like bluetooth earbuds a lot more if I could find some that aren't "smart." If I put on a beanie, I bump them. If I remove one earbud to converse, I bump it. I've not once intentionally used a gesture-based control on an earbud for anything else other than undoing the situation I've caused by bumping them. Otherwise, I control everything with my phone. If I'm working out, I just select my playlist, mute notifications, and I don't have to touch anything after that. Gesture-based earbuds are not for me.

I really don't think there are dumb bluetooth earbuds, though. At least, I haven't been able to find any.

I have the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus and their app has an option to disable touches, so that's what I do, because I'm the same as you. I bought them used and have been using them on a daily basis for at least three years and they're still working well. Might be something to look into. I hope you find something that works for you!

Oh, that sounds promising! I'll look into it, thanks.
