Why do they exist? Why are they popular?
Earbubs
stupid people
to flex on poor people like you
because people are idiots that have used earphones their entire lives
Better poor then stupid. But i have some decend Audiotechnican MX50 Headphones, which actualy cost more then those
People got memed into believing that apple products are good
They don't sound amazing but the point isn't audiophile-tier quality. The point is the ridiculous convenience.
Wireless earbuds are extremely convenient.
They're so easy to lose and misplace, I don't know why I didn't think of it first.
>Better poor then stupid.
The irony of this sentence.
Just put them back in the case when not in use. That way you don't lose them and they remain charged. It's not that hard.
damn we get it, you got bullied in highschool
No one cares your full size headphones sound better than an ultra convenient earbud, it's about the music
...
???
nobody said anything about apple but you
the state of paranoid brainwashed /g/ autists
>it's about the music
There is no way that's not an affectation coming from the mouth of a fucking Apple user.
no one said anything about apple, besides you of course
>sound fine. not amazing, just fine.
>allows the user to walk around and do stuff while their phones charge without having to stop the music or play through speakers
>no cable connecting the phone to the earbuds, meaning the cable won't get snagged on, say, a doorknob and cause your phone to go flying with it
>>also, no sound of bouncing cable as you walk
>makes theft a tiny bit harder while in use because now there's less stuff for thieves to haphazardly grab onto and yank before running off
>battery life is good enough to not be a problem or even make the experience much different from wired headphones in that respect
what's not to like? there are basically no downsides.
This isn't /g/.
/g/ is that way
>17 / 1 / 9 / 5
look at this apple dickriding samefaggotry baka
Had them for a year and haven't lost them, maybe stop being an idiot?
THAN
as an airpods user, i can confirm. they're super comfy, sound quality may not be the best ofc. i feel like people hating on these are people who never used them and it shows.
anyway, op's pic are not airpods, some cheap ass bt earbuds, so why did this /g/ autistic hating on apple came from????
Have fun listening to Miles Davis wearing your Jecklin Float
>earbuds = Apple
high IQ detected
What other way is there the comfortably listen to music outside?
>battery life is good enough to not be a problem
Yeah, no. Isn't it still under 6h?
Like every apple product, they are a fashion accessory.
cope
>he’s still in his dudee fuck apple! Fuck society phase
Grow up
stop being poor and have sex
I really want a pair of Galaxy buds for the gym. You guys recommend?
>everything I don't like is an Apple product
no Galaxy buds are bad because Apple is bad and also fashion is bad.
>OP starts a thread about earbuds
>sperglords drag apple into the conversation and attack that instead
holy strawmen batman
They're samsung
>Isn't it still under 6h?
Most wireless earbuds sit around 6 hours, but the case can recharge them from dead to full anywhere from 5 to 10 times before depleting, and charging times are usually about 10 minutes or so.
So even if you listen to music for more than 6 hours a day (which you shouldn't because it's really bad for your hearing), you only need to take a 10 minute break every six hours.
Your phone is more likely to die before you actually run completely out of power.
apple is bad
A different way to listen music outside? Ever heard about concerts?
And wtf is wrong with a normal pair of headphones? They are portable you know? I created this thread to point out that modern art is more about the look then the art behind it...
literally nobody said regular headphones are bad. autism at its finest
>And wtf is wrong with a normal pair of headphones?
Not much. It's just that wireless headphones are better for some people. It all depends on the use case.
>They are portable you know?
Yes, but wireless headphones are even more so. They can be kept in a pocket without tangling. They have no fraying wires.
This may be hard to believe but your opinion isn't objective. It's not fact.
>I created this thread to point out that modern art is more about the look then the art behind it...
All art was once modern art. Anything worthwhile was at one point mocked and lambasted by people like you.
>Your phone is more likely to die before you actually run completely out of power.
Not really. Take examples like flights, where you're only using phone for music or reading anyway. It can last a day easy. Besides, I was thinking of scenarios like doing it at home when working and not switching to wire ... being forced to take arbitrary 10min breaks sounds painful.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not some sperg bitching about Applel or audio quality, and gifted AirPods to a lot of my friends, but battery life under 12h without breaks sounds damn horrible IMO, especially considering that it'll gets worse and worse over time.
Ya niggas need to get a fucking dictionary. Earbuds =/= wireless headphones and headphones usually implies the big thingies.

Dear Yea Forums, today i forgot my headphones. Im surrounded by jackasses, kids and other annoying objects in my train... What can I do to distract me?
>Not really. Take examples like flights, where you're only using phone for music or reading anyway. It can last a day easy.
I think you might've misunderstood me. I meant that the phone would die before the case ran out of power, not the buds themselves. By the time you had to actually plug in the case to let it charge, your phone would be long dead.
>Besides, I was thinking of scenarios like doing it at home when working and not switching to wire ... being forced to take arbitrary 10min breaks sounds painful.
First off, a 10-minute break every SIX HOURS is a dealbreaker for you? That's fine but that's absolutely not an average use case.
Secondly, I'd much rather deal with 10 minute breaks than wires, especially during workouts. Wires really get in the way when you're running. They bounce around a lot, get caught in your arms, either that or you tuck the wire under your shirt only for the earbuds to get tugged out of your ear canals. And nobody works out for 6 uninterrupted hours at a time...at least I hope not. So this is really a non-issue for me.
I guess I can understand why you wouldn't want wireless earbuds, though.
Play music directly from your phone. Full volume.
Might I suggest some Pharmakon?
>especially considering that it'll gets worse and worse over time.
Actually, battery degradation doesn't really work that way. The smaller or lower capacity the battery, the less degradation you're likely to experience.
So a phone's battery might lose about a 3rd of its original capacity 3 or 4 years into regular use, but the battery in something peripheral like a mouse or a wireless earbud is probably not going to degrade all that much.
I have a Nintendo 3DS from 2011 with a battery that's pretty much exactly the same as it was when I first bought it. Same battery, too.
At least you have one earbud if you forget the other one, or in case of apple, when it tastes the ground the speakers are both fucked XD (Its a feature"
>a 10-minute break every SIX HOURS is a dealbreaker for you?
It's not as much the break itself as the arbitrariness of it and having to think about charging my headphones when taking a small break. I don't think it'll be a huge deal most of the time once one gets used to it but even that one moment when it gets necessary, sounds so annoying. And a workaround like buying two pairs sounds too autistic even for me.
>I'd much rather deal with 10 minute breaks than wires, especially during workouts.
During workouts lack of wires is definitely a huge pro. In normal scenarios lack of them is a positive too obviously, just too used to wires to be bothered enough over the break thing.
>The smaller or lower capacity the battery, the less degradation you're likely to experience.
Yeah of course but it still happens in the long run. Though I guess it's fair to compare it with the wires breaking.
>I have a Nintendo 3DS from 2011 with a battery that's pretty much exactly the same as it was when I first bought it.
Now that sounds unrealistic. They basically have same capacity as smaller phones, and after 8 years most would probably be at 50%
Overall I'm a total fan of the idea and wireless clearly has more pros overall, just don't find the tech quite there to be 100% happy doing the switch.
>It's not as much the break itself as the arbitrariness of it and having to think about charging my headphones when taking a small break.
I can kind of understand this, but really it's less that you "have" to take a break but more that the earbuds will automatically recharge when not in use. You don't have to really think about keeping them topped off much once you make a habit of putting them back in the case when you're not using them. You could go weeks without actually plugging the case in, even with regular, daily usage.
You never actually find yourself in a situation where you absolutely must take a break. In that way, it sort of feels like they charge themselves.
>Yeah of course but it still happens in the long run.
You'd be surprised. That sort of degradation would maybe shave about 15 minutes off average battery life after a few years, but that's not really enough to be noticeable. Still a flaw, though.
>Now that sounds unrealistic.
Nintendo is pretty notable for manufacturing products that endure. The thing is pretty beat up and still refuses to die. There are a few chips and scratches here and there but battery life remains day 1. Nintendo generally stays away from pushing the boundaries of technology; I mean, the 3DS has a 240p display. I think that has something to do with the longevity of it.
>Overall I'm a total fan of the idea and wireless clearly has more pros overall, just don't find the tech quite there to be 100% happy doing the switch.
That makes sense. But the technology is only going to get better over time and I think the threshold separating sacrifice > benefit is already low enough for me.
