Confidentiality. Or porn. One of those things.

    By earphones I mean in-ear models. Maybe there is some weird over-ear model with that feature, but when IEMs add the Bluetooth feature, the cord gets cut from the design

      Damn, you’re right. For many years I used the Bose Quiet Comfort 20, but those aren’t made anymore. There are still some options but none of them look great. The major brands just stopped making them. Ironically the first pair I found was USB-C with an adapter.

        I didn’t want that model because you can’t switch the cable. I’m not paying $100 for something that breaks when the cable breaks (which is always the first thing to go)

          I mean, those are your own arbitrary limits. That’s fine, more power to ya, but it means you’ll do without it. Meanwhile i used mine for 15 years of travel and the only thing wrong with it is the rubbery outside of the ANC block has come off, is purely cosmetic. Still works as good as new.

            The Sony Linkbuds S are more repairable because you can just replace the battery (it’s not soldered)

            I have wired Sennheiser headphones I can’t use because the cable is not modular and it’s snapped somewhere
