Bose's highest end headphones.

Windows does the "proper" thing here and starts playing whatever media was last being played, which while annoying, at least is an attempt to follow the standard. (And Windows really goes the extra mile to remember what was last playing, sometimes resuming sound in a browser tab I haven't looked at in several days!)
- JohnFen 4y ago> at least is an attempt to follow the standard There's a standard that blesses automatically running a media application when headphones are connected? Unless it can be disabled, that behavior is beyond obnoxious.
- rafark 4y agoAuto play is disgusting, especially with videos on websites. I cannot imagine why anyone would think auto playing media is the “correct thing” to do.
- FireBeyond 4y agoOdd. Because my Bose NC700s don't do that under Ventura.
