With completely wireless earbuds, the rule is: when the battery fails, they have to be disposed of. Not so with the Fairbuds, that allow you to replace batteries in just a few seconds. Combined with a repairable design, the earbuds should therefore have an extremely long lifetime.
I think you’re interpreting my frustration with having to deal with an insulin pump hose, as frustration with the person suggesting using wired headphones. Imagine headphone wires you can’t take off. On you 24/7 except for showering, and they get caught on every. Freaking. Thing. Frustrating. I’m not also going to deal with wired headphones on top of that annoyance.
I’m sorry you have to deal with that.
But our point is that having a little extra hole in your phone isn’t going to matter to you.
I agree, I’m not advocating getting rid of headphone jacks, I just don’t use them. I don’t need a thinner phone, I want a smaller phone. I don’t need all the huge screen sizes most phones are today, because I can’t possibly use them one handed. I have a pixel 4a (non 5G variant) right now, and to me its the perfect sized phone.
I didn’t reply to the insulin pump part, sorry. It was toward the other part, which implied to me that there are people who don’t want to deal with cables, so no one should be about to use them.
I’m sorry, i’m replying to your reply, about replying to the wrong part of my reply. I put this as delicately as possible so it didn’t sound aggressive. Sorry.
