For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    Oh, my problem isn’t with charging them. They actually hold a charge for a super long time.

    I’d like bluetooth earbuds a lot more if I could find some that aren’t “smart.” If I put on a beanie, I bump them. If I remove one earbud to converse, I bump it. I’ve not once intentionally used a gesture-based control on an earbud for anything else other than undoing the situation I’ve caused by bumping them. Otherwise, I control everything with my phone. If I’m working out, I just select my playlist, mute notifications, and I don’t have to touch anything after that. Gesture-based earbuds are not for me.

    I really don’t think there are dumb bluetooth earbuds, though. At least, I haven’t been able to find any.

    And I don’t mind cables as much as you do. I think my favorite earbuds would be those that are connected to each other by a cable, but again – only if they were not smart.
