Airpods, not for me?

[Varmann]

I have not bought any yet, since I suppose they would not suit my (bad) habits.

I would loose them. Two such small devices, I would most certain misplace them. I usually go to sleep with a audio book and in the morning the only way to find the earpods is to follow the wire from the phone. My two cats would probably play with a lost airpod and magically displace it to another dimension. Earpods also often fall from my ears when I am out walking. I usually loose about one normal pair of earbuds a year just by accidents.

Battery, sigh, even one more thing to keep charged, and one more charger to keep track of.


Or is it not that hard?

who knows if 40 years down the road they caused brain tumors from all that radio sound waves like smoking being healthy in 1950.

Sounds to me like you answered your own question.

I was the same and avoided AirPods for years because I knew I’d lose them. Turns out it has been fine (although what I actually lost in the end was the charging case).

Although if EarPods fall out your ears then these will too, unless you try the pros instead.

People has their own preferences. I personally can’t go back to wired now. Put on and walk about with no care where my phone/tablet/computer is. That’s freedom.

Heck, with Watch wired is already out of question.

They stay in my ears pretty well (i've been mountain biking with them), they are reasonably easy to keep charged. I have two cats, and haven't lost any yet - just put them either in your ears or in the case. I've yet to have one fall out, other than one time i knocked it out swatting a fly away when working outside doing yard work and i forgot they were in my ears.

It's hard to overstate just how much less likely they are to fall out due to knocking or catching a cable on things.

I'm sure they're not for everyone, but i think your worries are overblown, personally.

For what its worth they stay in my ears WAY WAY better than corded earpods, because there's no cable to catch on anything. I was very surprised.

If you're worried about that, why do you have a cell phone? Both the frequency and amplitude of the RF on your cell phone is far more penetrating/intense than any bluetooth device. And cell tower radio waves are all around you anyway...

This just shows your ignorance at science, there's no magic invisible thing we don't know about.

Magic isn't real.

I dont have a cell phone or telephone number, i don't use one just because i do not need one at the time, since 2005.
I'm not "worried" about radiation or the effects of bluetooth ear device as other scientist who published studies on their research years ago.

My comment started of by saying: 'who knows" meaning we dont know what is safe today
might -might be hazardous in the future. which is speculation.

You can buy a special device to keep them together
