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).

    Get a neckband style Bluetooth headset, I really like bone conduction one. Can be found with battery life at 15-20 hours.

    And they’re not in the way and don’t cover your ears (unlike with Apple earbuds people will know you can hear them even if they see you have it on, so nobody will see it as rude)
