Hello Mark, and list,
First of all, I appreciate your thoughts, and questions. I like the
discussions, and thoughts from others that can end up happening. It's
helpful at times.
For me personally, I absolutely love my Beats wireless earbuds. I use
them quite regularly. I can't always use them every day though, because
they can cause my ears to hurt. Also, I think they cause me headaches at
times, as well. So I do have to be careful with them.
I never thought I would spend so much on headphones, especially earbuds.
In my mind, spending that much money on such a thing just really makes
no sense. I can't explain really why I feel that way. But then I bought
these, and they are one of my most favorite things. I make sure to try
and take really good care of them.
I can understand why some people still might want to use wired
headphones. And I am glad to know that they are still quite readily
available. I think the options should be there for people.
I enjoy using my Beats, because I am able to go around my apartment,
getting things done, that I need to do, quite easily. I've learned to
navigate pretty well, with the earbuds in. I just really love the
convenience they offer me. Plus, I love how easy it can be to answer
calls, or texts if I need to do so. Although, I do realize that this
doesn't matter if they are wireless, or not. I think it is just nice
that they aren't tethered to my phone. I will say that at first this
felt odd, if I walked away and left my phone on my table. But I am
getting more used to doing this now.
Also, probably about two years ago now, I bought some cheap, wireless,
over the ear headphones from Amazon. They have pretty good sound for me,
and for what I use them to do. I mainly use them to listen to my audio
books. They aren't really good to use when answering calls.
Anyway, I enjoy them as well. I love how they are over the ear, and not
necessarily earbuds. Even though they can be a bit bulky. And they can
get hot on my ears, sometimes. But I love the portability they offer.
They also fold up. So even though they are bigger, they can be easy to
take along with me. So that is really nice.
Anyway, I don't know how helpful all this is. LOL! This is all just my
personal thoughts, and opinions. But hopefully it helped someone. I just
enjoy the convenience, and portability, and flexability.
Thank you,
Terri

Hello All,
I have long been a fan of Apple wired Ear Pods.
I had to have my original beloved 8 Plus replaced, about a month prior to
its warranty expiration because the audio function of the Lightening port
went bad.
For the last 6-months or so, perhaps longer, while the Lightening port on my
replacement 8 Plus still functioned as expected, it lost the ability to
retain a cable, unassisted. This is to say, when I hold the phone in
portrait mode, perpendicular to the ground, any attached cable will fall
out.
I am certain that I was the blame for this as I used to frequently roll onto
the phone, when sleeping; very often tangling the cable with tension for
hours at a time. (How's that for too much information? (smile)).
My point, I am determined not to ruin the Lightening port on my 14.
With that in mind, I am doing my best to wing myself from the wired Ear Pods
in favor of Apple Air Pods.
Even though I like Air Pods and they are definitely more convenient to use
than the wired alternative, I still find myself reaching for the wired pair,
more than anything else.
I was just wondering how many of you have gone completely wireless having
all but abandoned the wired Ear Pods?
It is interesting because when I go to Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc. I
always see wired Ear Pods, with either the Lightening or audio connector,
readily available.
All replies appreciated.
Mark
