Fair point. Sustainability really should be a priority. I don’t always return them to the case because a don’t use them for too long at a time. But even if I do, charging them for 10% isn’t the same as charging them for 100%. (I’m just stating that because the “5 year battery life claim” is absurd).

If you’re a heavy user wired ones will probably be better for you, but I reccoment trying out both. I was really against the bluetooth ones before I bought a pair and now I’m really happy with them. It all depends on your situation.

Yes it does because no manufacturer claims the lifespan in years, they say you get 2000 charging cycles. The 5 year number is derived from 2000 / 365 = 5.48 and that assumes you are charging them fully every day.

Look buddy, I’m not a battery expert and I can tell you aren’t either. You can’t get an easy number because the chemistry is complex and the way you use them changes things. When you do get a nice clean year number it depends on many things so making broad proclamations isn’t very useful.

It’s minimum 5 years if you charge them every day. I charge mine maybe once a week when I use them regularly. So claiming that all lithium ion bateries last 5 years is misleading. Most manufacturers claim you have minimum of 2000 charging cycles.

I carry my phone in my pocket so the wire that’s close to the jack bends very frequently and gets damaged. I’m glad you were able to find good wired buds. I searched for years and wasn’t as lucky as you. But since I switched to no-name bluetooth earbuds I’ve had no problems so I’m very happy.

Are you claiming that the battery stops working after 5 years? As far as I know the maximum battery charge gets lower with time but the device is still functional. It just lasts a bit less.

Don’t know where you pulled the 5 year from. I’ve got mine for longer than that and I have no problems with the battery. Also, didn’t notice the lower fidelity, but I mostly listen to podcasts so I not gonna dispute that claim. Why I bought the bluetooth earbuds was because no matter how much I paid for wired earbuds (up to 120€) none of them survived more than 2 years. Approx after a year one would stop working and some time later the other would die too. So yeah, if you enjoy the shitty ultra thin wires that’s great, but in my experience even cheap bluetooth earbuds work minimum three times longer than wired ones.

They seem nice and not too pricey. Their website said they have Hall effect sticks. Shouldn’t those be more durable and longer lasting than regular sticks?

For how long did you use them before you started having issues with the sticks?

Interesting. I’ve got an i9 an Valheim was regularly shutting down my computer after 5 - 10mins. No BSOD, it would just shut down.

After I abandoned Windows and installed Linux not only does it not crash now, it even runs much smoother in my giant castle. So I assume it also has to do with the OS.

How are they being body shamed? I don’t see anybody saying one is better than the other. Some people like bigger boobs, some people like smaller boobs so there isn’t a correct answer. I can see them being objectified sure, but I wouldn’t call it body shaming.

In europe we have a “reject all” button for cookies and it’s fantastic

I’m not disagreeing with anything you said, I’d just like to add that Maillard reactions happen with all food, not just meat.

Thats unfortunately true.What I ment was that it runs much better than windows that tend to BSOD if I’m lucky or shut down my computer after a couple of minutes.

Valheim works like a charm too
