Sometimes I’ll set my phone down somewhere like in my car or room and then leave to go do something and my podcast cuts out, reminding me I forgot to bring my phone with me. Clutch saves

    Wired headphones had the same benefit… Walk away too far and your phone is either yanking the buds out of your ears, or falling off whatever surface it was on, holding onto the cable for dear life.

        If you need radios to replace a meter of cabling on the same object - a person - you need to find an architect and apologize. They like Lego, so bring a small gift.

        Cables catching on doorknobs? Never had it, never seen it, never heard of it; not even in the walkman decades.

        Will a cable save my walkman from falling into the ocean when I lean over a stanchion to check on my diver and not cost me a yellow walkman and a new copy of orphan? Can confirm it will not. But neither will the radios.

          I still use wired earbuds sometimes. I’ve gotten them caught on doorknobs plenty whenever I forget to clip the wire to my shirt. Still prefer them over Bluetooth ones. Wired earbuds don’t run out of battery or randomly lose connection. I also remember a number of my friends citing their earbuds getting caught as a reason for switching to Bluetooth ones. It’s not unheard of.
