Nice, how make one with the earbuds attached to each other with a wire and I’ll buy it for sure!

The thing about wired earbuds and headphones is that they're already pretty sustainable. A good pair can last you decades, while wireless buds are usually throwaway products. So I think it's pretty cool that they're doing something about that for those that want wireless earbuds.

I think you misunderstood, I want wireless headphones that have the two earbuds connected via a wire so you know, one doesn’t just pop out if your ear and drop on the street.

Ah, indeed I did.

I think JBL and some other brands do carry such earbuds, but maybe it might not be thz kind of wire you'd fancy. There are also cheaper options that have a wire linking the two ear buds, but as I said those are usually cheap and might not be up to your standards.

I have a set of those from Jabra

Bang and Olufsen used to make a set like that, they were pretty snazzy.

They are called "Wireless" headphones when there is a wire connecting them. "True Wireless" means two separate earbuds.

Then “true wireless” is a bad experience, at least from my eyes.

Ugh? I used to burn through wired earbuds at a pace of maybe one pair per month. You basically have to sit and not move if you don't want to damage the wire IME

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 3 points 6 months ago

Some of the better ones have removable cables. You'll usually just yank them out or worst case if the cable is damaged you can easily replace it.

[-] huginn@feddit.it 2 points 6 months ago

How much are you paying for your headphones? Nicer ones that don't break as easily are probably a cost effective option for you.

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 6 months ago

And still like only $20 for ones with the ability to replace a broken wire
