These posts are great. You all are up on all that is out there. As for me, I
can't wear any kind of ear pieces because they cause me sharp pain in my inner
ear. I am glued to my phone day and night mostly because I text and read a lot,
but I find if I do not turn my phone off at night, I sleep poorly because as
soon as I wake in the night, I once more reach for the phone. I fall asleep
again but if I leave the phone off I somehow sleep much better and wake less!
Round the clock entertainment these phone sure provide us. Does that
spell distraction or cultural etification?
Smiling,
Deidre

Subject: RE: Have you Gone Wireless, Yet?
I'd take a set of Airpods maybe if somebody gave them to me along with $20.
I hate having anything stuck inside my ear further than the wired Earpods, they
happen to fit me great and I don't even have to push them in hard and they just
stay in place.
I also wouldn't be caught dead spending the kind of money on two little things
which only last 5 or 6 hours and which I am bound to loose sooner or later.
Now keep in mind that this is strictly my take, I know many of you love them
and that's fine, then of course if I did spend the money on them I'd also say I
love them.
As for wearing something in bed when you most likely will fall asleep there is
nothing better than those sleep headbands which have a set of very thin
speakers on each side over your ear and a little control pod on your forehead
with 3 buttons for volume up/down and play/pause in the middle. Of course if
you want to fall asleep to high fidelty music then these are not the right
thing, but they are fine for audio books or, if you are into those sleep
sounds, that would probably be just fine, but they are the most comfortable
thing and I usually sleep on my side so I definitely know and I often wake up
in the middle of the night with my Audible book happily playing and I then
usually stop it, pull them off my head and thrown them on the side table. You
can find them on Amazon, just make sure you do look for wireless ones because
the original ones do have a 3.5mm cable and that of course is sucks. I think I
paid around $30 Canadian for mine about 2 or 3 years ago and they still work
great.
I also have an Aftershokz Open Com which I use in certain situations and
another Bluetooth gadget I have is one of these around the neck speakers, they
consist of a thick and relatively soft rubbery cable about as thick as your
thumb and one each end is a speaker, one has the typical buttons to turn it
on/off and for play/pause and volume up/down. I quite like using them at home
when I am out in the summer in the garden or even while cooking, your audio is
right there more or less in front of your shoulders and you can easily reach up
and pause or change the volume.for cert But I just bought a new set of
Lightning Earpods because they are still my preferred headset, there is no lag
and for $24.99 Canadian I get surprisingly good sounding earbuds. I probably go
through a pair a year, sometimes a bit longer, but as I said, inexpensive, good
and when I don't need them I roll them up around my hand and stick them into my
pocket.
Best regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Have you Gone Wireless, Yet?
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
