The trouble is that you need to distribute headsets to people, hope they don’t get broken, and then collect them back. If there is both an android and iPhone app, then you can let people use their own earbuds. You’d merely need to tell people “open Soapbox and pick #gymnosperms. We’ll set out on the trail on 8 or so minutes”

- dpcx 5y agoUntil you think about people that have devices that don't use headphone ports, or don't have bluetooth on their phones (both, IIRC, are very small counts, but potentially a problem). Not to mention if you're sharing headsets that, unless they're all coming in plastic bags suggesting that they're new from the factory, everyone else's germs are all over them.
