93 sats \ 7 replies \ @optimism 25 Nov \ parent \ on: Stacker Saloon
I thought that when the rubber thingy tore and I ordered new rubber thingies for 1500 sats and now the only downside is that I need to switch pairs halfway meetings. Lol
Lol yeah mine ripped about a year ago. Bought some new ones. The right one is starting to wear out. Issues with making a seal at times causing a strange sound when I walk. Also my case charger port been broken for about a year or so as well. I been getting by with using cordless charging but that has its limits. Today I went to the gym the pods didn’t connect.
Tired of the nonsense so getting a new pair today

I've been playing with the idea of replacing both pairs but for my Pixel I use the beats buds (rarely because I almost never call from phone, which is funny) and these are now my reserve. They just don't filter noise as well on the mic. But technically that's not my problem lol.
I feel you re: connector, tho somehow my airpods cases are fine. My iPhone used to only have working wireless charging after a few years of extensive travel and other abuse. On a Pixel 3 stand because those were the best back in the day. I did swap the screen myself tho when I broke it. Just don't use it anymore.

Yeah so far upgrading to new AirPods have been nice. Before I used to use my gadgets until the broke but now I’m thinking maybe I should buy into this conspicuous consumption and buy new iPhones and AirPods every year. This new pro is amazing!

What helps is when you can boost someone that can use it productively by donating them your 1yo device. That actually does have a chance to truly boost the economy. But whatever you do, don't stack old, working devices doing nothing - that's waste.

True I can keep one or two for emergency back up then give the older phone to someone for free.
