I mean, idk why I didn’t think of it, but I had a wireless headphone and I used it continueously for like 3-5 hours and battery barely drained.

But headphones are not very portable, I mean there is no wire to mess with, but still, its not exactly easy to carry if you are, for example, commuting. So I also got some wireless earbuds, but these only last like 1 hour maybe 2 with continuous use. Kinda annoying since with headphones, you can (some, at least) plug in the battery and charge it while using it, and its essentially temporarily a wired headphone (at least until you get enough charge to disconnect it again), but earbuds can’t do that.

This is kinda of a mildly infuriating post, but I don’t really want the negative energy, like its not the technology’s fault, I just forgot that you can’t really fit a big battery inside a tiny earbud lol. (I forgot physics existed)

So yea, every hour or so, I have to put it back in the charging case. Annoying…

I think I now understand why people really wanted the headphone jack back (I mean I still don’t like wires dangling around, but yea I get it, you don’t have to worry about the battery running out, its tradeoffs vs different tradeoffs).

      When I do runs, my tromsmarts last more than 2h and they still work for undisclosed amount of time after that (I mean, never tested but they show as half charged in android).

      And they are bit less than 4 years old.

      When running i usually turn off noise cancellation because that’s not safe, and also ambient off, because that’s too much noisy with wind and steps and whatnot
