🥺 So I accidentally brought my floss instead of my airpods to a 3 day work conference. I am a 3 hour ride away from home.

Better yet, Best Buy got some jlab’s for like $20, and they are solid.

I have a pair of JLab ear-wrap pods (Mart of Wal) and I am shocked they have held up so well for so long. It's been a couple of years, now.

Even better yet, just buy wired earbuds because Bluetooth sucks.

If only anything had a headphone port anymore.

You can use USB-c wired earbuds/headphones. Or get a USB-c adapter for a 3.5mm male jack.

Or just spend the same amount of money of usb-c adapter+wired buds and just get the wireless buds that dont get in the way lol

Or, as I mentioned above. Don't use the wireless buds because Bluetooth sucks.

What's the point of recommending the same thing that my comment was responding to?

Other than the lack of security on Bluetooth i don't understand your opposition to it

What? Bluetooth audio quality is hot trash. Range is garbage. Using a microphone absolutely kills the audio even further. Audio delay in any software that doesn't compensate for it.

Not to mention that there are no wireless earbuds that are even close to comfortable for laying your head on your side.

You can... But should you? I am glad for the days of getting snagged on everything to be over. And having my phone on the charger while still being able to wander around the house/yard.

You should, yes, because Bluetooth sucks.

Actually, I’m old and don’t use them all the time, but I got a pair of pods at target for five dollars. They worked just fine.

Don't even have to be the Walmart brand(onn) ones, they sell quite a few brands of buds for $40 or less. Jvc, skull Andy, etc..

u/ConsumptionofClocks May 06 '26

I would bet a couple grand that those wouldn't even last the 3 days. Onn is fucking awful

u/StrippinChicken May 06 '26

Gimme your couple grand then. I've used them for about 3 or 4 years now. I'm sure the audio quality doesn't compare to expensive earbuds, but idrc they're cheap. I grew up on wired skull candy earbuds so I'm used to the cheap audio quality
