I bought my current noise cancelling headphones (Bose QC 25) in 2015, that’s a whopping 8 years ago. So I checked for newer models, maybe they improved the ANC even more.
Well, big surprise, all current models (no matter the manufacturer) have built-in non-replaceable batteries. That is a big no-go. It means these devices will become useless garbage in a couple of years. 😡
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Cable for the win! Agreed, that’s a very silly trend. If they at least used regular batteries, AA, AAA or something like that.
That reminds me that I have to get replacement ear pads for both my headset and headphone. The synthetic leather is falling apart and black fuzzy crap ends up all over my face. Also, my headset’s left ear piece has some intermittent contact that seems to get worse lately. Shaking my head usually fixes it for some time. Not sure if trying to repair that will finally break the headset instead.
I dunno I’ve had mine for over 8 years and still going well 👌
Oh wait my wife replaced the old ones 🤦♂️ the battery didn’t die, the ear muffs wore out from my sweaty ears 😆
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, ear muffs are a problem. 😅 I already replaced mine once. Looks like I have to do this every 4-5 years. But hey, at least it’s possible and not too expensive.
