I wish that someone made headphones built with BPA-free plastic like my Aeropress (https://prima-coffee.com/equipment/aeropress/aeropress https://prima-coffee.com/equipment/aeropress/aeropress) or even my Lido 3 coffee grinder (https://prima-coffee.com/equipment/orphan-espresso/lido-3 https://prima-coffee.com/equipment/orphan-espresso/lido-3), which also uses stainless steel and aluminum. Considering how durable both of these tools are (and how good they feel in hand) I wonder why they haven't caught on in the tech industry.
- kaszanka 6y agoI don't know if being BPA-free has anything to do with durability. I thought it was something that only mattered for food-related products (to avoid BPA getting into your food).

- vanilla_nut 6y agoGood point. I suppose I'm just talking about the feel of the Aeropress and, say, Nalgene bottles. That plastic feels somehow less "cheap" to me than most plastic electronic devices. I wonder why?
- atombender 6y ago"BPA-free" doesn't mean much. The industry has been moving on from BPA due to (very reasonable) fears about human consumption, but it appears manufacturers simply moved onto other BPA-like alternatives such as BPS and BPF that have not been as extensively studied, and which may have the same health hazards.
