- rconti 9y agoNo wires!! But seriously, I've been so happy with my recent bluetooth purchases. I guess I could try the jaybirds in one ear, but they are noise isolating, which is less than ideal, and i think it would bother me more to have one ear blocked and the other not. I definitely would NOT want to deal with wires to a phone somewhere in my pocket while cycling, seems potentially hazardous. Just a wire connecting them could be doable.
- mercer 9y agoHonestly wireless earbuds, specifically the AirPods, have probably been the best purchase I've made in a while and probably my favorite Apple product since my MacBook Air (2013). The problem is that all the reasons why I feel this way would not have meant much to me while I was still using wired headphones. It feels a bit like retina displays, or my first experience with a sleep mode that actually works (my first, white MacBook): the advantages don't seem all that obvious or amazing right until you're forced to go back to the 'old way'. I would suggest you first make sure they fit your ears though. I was always confused about people complaining about the EarPods/AirPods falling out of their ears because that never happens to me or most people that I know. Then I actually met one of those mythical people and it became immediately obvious to me how unusable these things are for them (without foam or perhaps some superglue).
