#i hate hate hate hate hate bluetooth earbuds i hate wireless earbuds i hate using the same place to plug in chargers and earbuds so much

[spiritunwilling]

disgusting and awful how many recent phone models dont have headphone jacks. im going to start killing

[noellfettuccine]

I use standard earbuds, not noise-cancelling ones. I wear them almost all the time. I usually only have one earbud in with music playing so I can still hear the environment around me (I'm usually with other people so I want to be able to hear them). I wouldn't cope very well without them.

I don't think my music interferes with my ability to take in information, I'm pretty good at listening + keeping track of conversations.

I put in both my earbuds when I want/need to zone out. It helps a lot when I'm feeling overwhelmed.

I personally prefer headphones, though I have earplugs (Loop Engage and Quiet). I use the engage in situations where I still need to talk but it's still loud, but they are kind of annoying because they increase the volume of my voice in my head lol (still better than absolutely nothing though). I use the Quiets either under my headphones for extra noise reduction or instead of my headphones when I can't wear them for whatever reason. I have the Sony 1000-Xm4 headphones which I highly recommend, though they're really expensive so if you want to get them I recommend waiting for them to go on sale like I did.

Hello, you requested someone asking for your Swiss and Aeon HCs so here I am! Please, tell me all of them, I love reading headcanons for the ghouls

AHHHH OMG i swear every time someone asks me something that i know i know i forget immediately every time 😭

but also hiiiii! idk who u are cuz i've had a LOT of people pop up in my notes these past few days but like, hello!! :3

these definitely aren't all the ones i have bc these literally pop into my mind randomly throughout the day

also this is super long 😭

but uhmmm here u go :D

swiss stuff:

he's actually much more of a cat person than a dog person (he still likes dogs tho)

and like, don't get me wrong- he loves cats in general

but he loves the chaotic, crack head, stupid ones especially

they match his energy and he thinks they're super cute

i feel like he (along with mountain) were the types as kits to bring in random animals like raccoons, opossums, etc and then just carry it around

like bring the animals to [the] papa[s] and just be like "look what i caught! can we keep him?!"

he has a red lava lamp that he once got for christmas from sodo in his room but it doesn't work right bc he shook it up

as a kit, he used to google different ways to prank people and he'd go on chaos sprees (commonly joined by dew as well)

poor rain suffered the most of his antics

he wasn't really close with any of the ghouls or ghoulettes specifically when he was new to them

he still isn't

he loves all equally, even if the others aren't the same way

peed in a sink once when he was high + drunk

mountain's personal bedroom bathroom sink specifically

whenever he sees babies, he smiles big (it scares them sometimes)

used to have a major biting problem when he was younger

copia got him oral fidget toys

literally knawed on that shit constantly

likes the feeling of chewing rubber

has a very broad music taste

phantom/aeon stuff:

when he was newer and needed ppl around to make sure he wouldn't get himself in any kind of trouble, all of the ghouls and papa were busy

so they left him with the ghoulettes

and they all watched mean girls together

he genuinely really liked the movie

but he was really easily spooked when he was first summoned

so the part when regina george got hit with the bus jump scared him

secretly related to that one character who didn't go to the school in that scene in the gymnasium (i hope this is specific enough)

thinks liz gillies is super pretty

also has a very wide music taste

he and swiss have a playlist they made together on spotify of songs they like and it's so much shit mixed together it feels like a fever dream when u listen to it in order

has eaten bananas with peels on them a multitude of times

doesn't like oranges or limes

love lemons tho

once drank a thing of lemon juice in less under 10 minutes cuz he was bored

got sick asf

doesn't like headphones

he thinks they're too big so he prefers earbuds (wireless or wired doesn't matter to him)

had to get help from rain trying to figure out how bluetooth works

ended up teaching copia later

dew once dared him to drink two shot glasses worth of a mixture of hot sauce, mayo, peanut butter, and pickle juice for 20 monopoly dollars and phantom did it bc he thought it was real money

he doesn't mind most vegetables but he hates squash and zucchini, canned italian green beans, frozen carrots (he thinks they're soggy), and canned spinach

loves cranberries and cranberry flavored things

as well as pomegranate

isn't the biggest fan of cherries but loves the ones u get in jars for cheesecake toppings

bagel enjoyer

hates raisins

hates oatmeal

has thrown up numerous times after drinking cherry cough syrup

anywaysssss that's all i have for now :3

also i'm really sorry :( i know a lot of these are more like scenarios than HCs (i hope u still enjoyed tho!)

[castielsparkle]

me: ughh oh my god i wish my fucking music would play i hate using bluetooth i wish i had my normal wired earbuds with me rn

my wireless earbuds trying to bluetooth sync to my phone:

[rip-headphones-users]

me with my wireless headphones waiting for my wired ones to come because the whole battery thing is kinda tedious

Good god SOMEONE GETS IT!!! I also hate having to remember to charge or put batteries in headphones. I want to listen to things at any given moment. I don’t wanna wait for things to charge.

List of other wired headphones plus sides-

- I cannot count how many times wired headphones have saved my phone from completely falling on the floor, and making it more shattered it is

- It helps me remember my phone since I am physically tethered to it and cant just get up from somewhere and leave it without noticing

- If you have a detachable aux cord for your phone you can connect your phone to a car without having to wait for bluetooth to load

- or you can connect your headphones to a computer without having to wait for the bluetooth options to load.

- i have personally found the audio quality of wired headphones to be better than bluetooth headphones or earbuds

- headphones in general are just more comfortable than earbuds ill die on that goddamn hill. (You also don’t have to clean earwax/skin oils off of them just sayin)

- the wired headphones I currently use have outlived every bluetooth headphone I’ve used by a few years and I’ve only had to replace the wire.

- a headphone’s wire is basically just a built in fidget toy.

The only downside I can think of for wired headphones is that they get annoying to wear if you’re running or exercising, or just generally doing something that requires a lot of movement, but I’ve adapted by just putting the cord over my shoulder and through the belt loops of my pants.

Thank you Tumblr user bloodbonnieking for letting me share my headphones opinions.

Here's something that I got for my year.

I got myself a bunch of high tech items like Bluetooth JVC Earbuds since my mom uses those a lot every time she worked out. And I haven't used Earbuds in like forever since I used to use them back in 2017 or 2018, but then I got a rubber thing stuck in my ear and now I decided not to use them again and stuck with using Bluetooth headphones. And it's nice I might give the earbuds another chance. And speaking of headphones, I also got Super bass brand Wireless headphones which uses Memory card support and folds up. At least I can use headphones and earbuds like if I were to use these for anytime something is up like if my batteries are dying and wanted to be charged, I can use the other one. It'll make things a lot easier. Next I got Bluey stickers which I can use for anything I can place them on just like with my hydro water bottle. And I got myself an iPad which is the first time I got my own Apple Brand device since my family always uses Apple Brand stuff like iPhones and uses Facetime a lot. And not only I got an iPad, I also got this apple stylus which it can work with anytime I want to draw, which makes things a hell of a lot easier for me next time I want to draw something besides my Switch. And I also got a Persona 5 theme stand case which I can use for my iPad and that might come handy if I want to watch anything good or anytime I want to draw or do something with it or play a game.

Next I got myself a GameStop Gift card that has 22 bucks in it which I got from my friend from Social Club and thanks to him, I can combine my GameStop Gift Card I won from the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that I completed a few months ago. Despite the fact that it is fun finishing 2nd. I place 2nd place a lot every time I play Mario Kart. And finally I got Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch. I always wanted to get this game since I know Nintendo wanted to set this game at a higher price just once. But I'm sure they'll not do that again unless they can set that for a Bundle. Because 70 is a hell of a lot of money. And for Honorable Mention, the game I was gonna get but it's not coming yet, it's a game called Wild Hearts which is for the PlayStation 5, I thought I want to give the game a shot since I like these cool animals and thanks to my A-Pal on the drawing he did of one which is extremely cute. But it sucks Target gets like so many messages saying it's coming the next day and the day after which it gets really annoying! I hate when companies like to trick me with messages of when something I get comes from the mail from another place. But I'm sure I'll get the game soon somehow. Anyways, I'll give this stuff a shot. And I like the stuff I got. They look pretty cool.

I'm probably the only person in the world, but I prefer earbuds with a 3.5mm jack to wireless earbuds.

I just had to get new headphones because I got a new phone and the version I got has a software bug that corrupts audio if you lock your screen and have a headphone jack plugged in.

I have used wired earbuds my whole life. I HATE bluetooth earbuds, because I like knowing my phone is tethered to my music. I DONT want to be stuck without music because I forgot to plug in my fucking earbuds.

I'm autistic with adhd and I just know that at some point I am now going to abandon my phone on a bus or something and not realize until my buds lose signal. I NEED THE LEASH. Also, I use my earbuds to prevent sensory overload and if they die I'm literally fucked.

It is pretty clear the bug on my phone is an instance of planned obsoletion. I fucking hate this. It has literally not been fixed, solely because Samsung is no longer producing phones with 3.5 mm jack ports. Samsung is also coming out with a line of Samsung buds

Let me have my wired earbuds dammit. New tech stresses me out, and the buttons are all on a different side than my last pair. I fucking hate it.

In what world is this innovation? It's certainly not progress. There is literally no reason for companies to make this change other than the fact that now everybody has to buy new shit. Before long, a different interface will have to be purchsed bimonthly just to keep up with "innovation"

[sicksadtumble]

I kinda like my wireless headphones, but I'm sick of people not understanding why people care about this, so I'm also going to list some reasons why I hate them so much.

-Having to charge them, very short battery life.

-Worse audio quality. You'd think this would be one of the first things that people would care about, I mean, audio is kinda the point, isn't it?

-Specifically with earbuds it's easier to lose them if they don't have a wire. Same reason I don't like using a dongle. It's so easy to lose, and I can't just leave it on my headphones because I have more than one device that would use it.

-They make the dongles really fucking flimsy, idk if there's a place that sells more durable ones but it just seems like it would eat a hole in my pocket to carry around a flimsy tiny piece of plastic and wires that will probably break as soon as I put my phone in my pocket and bend the wire.

-My last pair of wired headphones were from 2014, and they were a gift from my grandpa. I can't be the only one in the world who has a piece of tech that is sentimental or a gift. I think it's awful that it's now obsolete just because they don't sell phones with an audio jack anymore. Just sad.

-I'm skeptical that Bluetooth headphones will last as long as those headphones, but idk we'll see I guess. :(

-People wear headphones to sleep. Can't do that if your headphones batteries die and wake you up.

parageaphs abd paragraphs of whining over nothing

im on my dad's phone plan and he switched from T-Mobile to AT&T and they told him the phones under his plan could get new phones. i didn't want one cuz i like my galaxy s10 it's got a earphone jack and i fucking hate wireless earbuds (i lose shit easily and quality is always going to be lost over bluetooth) and it's flamingo pink (orange/pink it's so prettyy) and 2020s samsung hates pink BUT whatever i researched my options and got the s24 fe cuz i liked the price more than the others and it helped that the processor and battery life looked better than the regular 24 (i like to keep phones for as long as possible so smth durable is importantto me). (unrelated but there is so much ai oncthis thing like ive disabled the majority of it but why must it exist)

speaking of durable, i was plannkng on getting a good case with good warranty bc ive never cracked my screen and i don't want it ti happen ever. my dad offered to buy me a case so i sent him a link and he said he'd get me one off amazon and i was annoyed cuz he always does this so i was going to get it myself but he said he'd get it. 2 or 3 weeks later he says i didn't send him the link but i did and he said he'd get me one off amazon. they weren't on sale anymore so i couldn't buy them bc i had a medical bill i was worried about and i was annoyed but also not in a hurry, but he was so he said he'd buy me it if i sent him the link again. then yesterday i see the mailman put an amazon package in the mail and i was so annoyed cuz this dude always does this 😭 im a dumbass. the case sucks it's so thin and came with a bubbly screen protector i was at war with for an hour. the camera protector i do like. i do not tjink i glued it symmetrically bjt im goingnto pretend i did or i will lose my marbles. i really wish he didn't offer to buy me a case i would've gotten the light blue parallax when it was on sale for $8. i knew i should've gotten it as a back up fuck. lkke i am so stupid. he did this shit to me when my case broke in 2020/21. multiple times over 3 years he told me he'd buy me a new one then gave me flimsy dollar tree cases while giving his wife and himself good ones 🥴 XDDDDDDDDDDdd i was being cheap too tho cuz i didn't wanna buy it myself but damn why he always gotta lie just say no and i'd buy it

was switching over to my new phone 230pm yesterday when i lost my ability to make calls/texts/use my data and my mom's house has no internet and my mom doesn't have a mobile hotspot included in her phone plan so i couldn't dl my esim to fix the issue 😭 why didn't the thing dl before the process, i had my hotspot on in case it needed to dl anything but the thing never said it 😭 like the paper the phone came with said that i had an esim but why didn't the option pop up 😭 yesterday was a bad day and i had little sleep so this only added to my stress especially since the AT&T calls kept ending halfway thru (i borrowed grandma's phone) and icfeel so bad for the nice lady i was talking to last night because i ended up crying 😭 LMAO

this week it's been too cold for my gay ass to be outside (i get sick easily + ridiculously anemic) so i couldn't walk to the starbucks that's a 1.6 miles away but i went invthe car at 8 this morning so i fixed it and i just wanna say this phone is so fucking Heavy what thebfuckvthe difference between thisnand the other one isnso big like. i have hand pain issues and this isn't helping. also it's wider and my hand can't comfortably hold it so i need to get a really strong case and a wrist strap bc my grip is going to tbe so ass

i had things to do yesterday so no phone made it impossible but im usually fine w/o the phone like i had saeran route music saved to my phone and i could draw on my laptop so it's not the end of thenworld. i was babysitting from 7am-9pm yesterday and it would've been easier to get my sister to docthings if i had songs she liked playing on my speaker but it ok we coloured and she bullied me into cleaning my room and we used grandma's phone to play just dance videos for her to dance along to

unfortunately i may have missed a called from the urology office that i was expecting and ill have to wait til offices open again after the holidays to find out when i can schedule my scan/ultrasound(?) for 🥴 i have no wah of knowing cuz my dad said he called me yesterday but bc i had no service all day i dont even have the notif/voicemail. myhands hurt and my ass is cold okay i will stop whining now no more whining i got it out. did i mention my hands hurt

i need to figure out the camera but he is in his box on my nightstand sleepign good :)

[dollkichi]

dust is a threat to national security! and it's made up of like 70% fecal matter like it's literally the shit of dust mites which are little bugs that live in your sheets. in fact, i have an expensive ass anti dust mite duvet because it was still cheaper than getting medicine for my allergies every month. blue is my second favourite colour after red, but it used to be my favourite. at one point in time i had around fifty shades of blue memorised purely to show other people that i was a bigger fan of blue than they were. (i am a very competitive person) i like staring at people do ordinary everyday things. humans are so cute. what's funny about my earbuds is that they're wired but wireless at the same time. they're wired to each other but function on Bluetooth. i find that funny. Fourth Wing is about a girl going to a college that prepares you for war, aptly named 'War College'. it has forced subpar romance and i hate that. the writing is also mediocre. the worldbuilding and idea is pretty good, but alas, it was doomed from the start with all the forced sexual tension. there's one line that goes, and i quote,

"*You are not attracted to toxic men* I remind myself, and yet, here I am, attracted."

what the actual fuck. why do i put myself through this. i should never gotten past the beauty (chef's kiss) of a masterpiece that was Life of Pi...

the tea was delicious! on roblox i mainly play dress to impress and doors, although i sometimes play tower defence simulator when forced by my brother. i don't play roblox a lot, but for some reason i'm picking it back up in the past few days with all the long roblox sessions. my roblox username is also cringe as hell because i made it when i was like, five 😭

my mom got free soap from her friend who runs a soap shop so i reaped the benefits. one is a regular long rectangle and dark pink, wrapped in a blue ribbon, and it smells vaguely rosey. the second is small and in the shape of a rose, in a bright pink colour. it very strongly smells rosey. the third is medium sized and has a cream coloured base with a translucent honey coloured top in the shape of a flower. it smells like orange. honestly i just bought the nightlights because they looked cool, i've never been one to use them. losing chargers is so relatable though- poor bunny nigjtlight :(

now my doll is stuck in the dark at night!~

</3

my nightlight is a Zhongli figure and my favourite genshin character is most definitely my love and light of my life Arlecchino <3

(although when Pantalone comes out its going to be him because THAT MAN IS SO PRETTY AUGHH I'M DEAD ON MY KNEES.)

-👤

SORRY FOR LATE REPLY, I WAS SLEEPING

WHAT. Dust mites are menaces and need to go. Blue and red are both very nice colors!! Memorizing 50 shades is kinda crazy though… but anything to prove that you are indeed the biggest blue fan. Being competitive over silly stuff like that is so real. Why are your earbuds like that. Why are they wired and wireless, that is so strange. GIGGLING AT WAR COLLEGE, what a creative name!! It kinda sounds like they were trying to appeal to booktok with all the forced romance and sexual tension. That’s a shame it does that tho when the idea and wordbuilding are good :(

What is Life of Pi about and would you recommend it?

I’m gonna steal your tea. I haven’t played a lot of dress to impress but I do like doors! I’m super excited for floor 2 to come out since the trailer released. There’s a game similar to doors actually that I’ve been playing, it’s called pressure. It’s well made and extremely fun! Anyways, we should totally play sometime. I wouldn’t mind playing dress to impress as long as you’re there. My username is cringe too so don’t worry… I changed it in a 2020 phase </3

Your soaps in the picture are so so pretty!! I am going 2 steal those too, mine now. I kinda wanna eat them. They look like they’d be good. They definitely sound like they smell good!!

OLD MAN NIGHTLIGHT?!?!?! Omg. Aside from being old, Zhongli is cool. Not my favorite character but also not a bad one. I love Arlecchino’s design!! She is soo pretty. She was super interesting too in the story. I’m excited to see what Pantalone is like when he comes out, he definitely is also pretty. I like his glasses and hair. I’ve always been a Venti fan since I first started playing back in 2020. I do really like Childe and Freminet + his siblings though too. I need to pick up genshin again… lost my 50/50 on Furina’s banner and I was like “I don’t wanna play anymore”, ehehe ^^;

[yumenosakiacademy]

dad had wireless earbuds, 2 pairs, vut the 1st pair didn't seem 2 pair 2 my phones bluetooth so i used the 2nd pair n they were fine but the next day, despite me having charged em, the left earbud suddenly ran our of battery while the right 2 was fine n i plugged em both in yesterday 2 charge all evening n night n i put them in 2day only 4 them 2 immediately stop working i give up this is why ive always hated n never used wireless earbuds they're SHIT.

[theinstagrahame]

I honestly don't like earbuds (I find them uncomfortable and they fall out a lot). So I hate that if I want to use headphones, I also need a $15 adapter, plus the headphones, because Apple decided 3.5 mm jacks are passé and everyone else followed suit.

Also I work in Cybersecurity, and as convenient as Bluetooth wireless stuff is, I'm not wild about having an open connection to my phone broadcasting itself in public. Especially when the options to secure it are somewhat limited.

Why do you need your earbuds to have a wire so badly?

I am assuming this is about a post I reblogged like six months ago when I went off on forced technological enshitification and the slow erosion of consumer options. But sure, I'll bite.

Why do I "need" my earbuds to have a wire? I dunno, Anon, maybe I:

Don't want to have to worry about recharging my earbuds.

Don't want my earbuds to be even easier to lose.

Don't want my earbuds to need separate accessories that are as easy to lose as the earbuds.

Prefer to have bluetooth turned off on my devices for security and safety reasons.

Like being able to seamlessly plug my earbuds into my computer, my MP3 player, or any other device with a headphone jack.

Don't want to spend 50 dollars on decent wireless earbuds when I can do all the above things with a pair of solid earbuds that cost me like $12 during the Obama administration.

Don't care about what kinds of headphones or earbuds people wear but don't like what it says about our society when other people apparently care what kind of earbuds I'm wearing so much they have send an Anonymous ask to interrogate me about it.

And I guess, more abstractly, because fuck Apple. That's why.

[benadryl-boys-united-llc]

god I fucking hate the expectation that we all use technology for everything all the time I can't even operate the fucking washing machine in my building without Bluetooth and giving a broken app access to my location photos and music and I'm fucking tired of hearing about fucking tiktok and I hate wireless fucking earbuds that don't fucking work. Like literally why make everything more complicated. I could continue to go off but I'm tired. Idk. I'm addicted to it like everyone else. I just hate it so goddamn much. It's barely possible to socialize without Instagram and Instagram makes me feel like everyone I know hates me within about 15 minutes, which I know isn't the case it is just the nauseating expectations and algorithm. Anyways

[ikyw-t]

i got a couple very cute very fuzzy cat socks and a fancy candle and fancy perfume sample so

[mlarayoukai]

Goddamn I wish I could use the Bluetooth on the switch without buying a stupid fucking dongle and having it on the switch itself

[omni-scient-pan-da]

I think the point that no one has touched on here is that it's a FORCED switch to all purely wireless earbuds

Wireless earbuds/headphones and wired earbuds/headphones both have pros to them, and it really depends on the situation, the thing that I hated most, and I think the thing that most people are mad at, is the fact that phones took our choices away

Yes a lot of the time I don't like having the cords tangled, or having the earbuds break on me super easily, but Bluetooth earbuds take longer to connect to my phone because I don't leave the Bluetooth on all the time and constantly connecting and disconnecting the Bluetooth settings is a hassle

It is infinitely easier for me to plug and unplug a cord from my phone in order to listen to something quickly than it is to connect and disconnect Bluetooth, and then there's the issues where my phone will start to connect to one Bluetooth source over another if I've paired with multiple devices and they're both on at the same time, but that's another story

That's not to say I don't like Bluetooth, I love being able to leave my phone in my room when I don't have pockets and walk around the house while I do chores with the music playing through my Bluetooth, but taking away the phone jack took away my option to use corded headphones and all of a sudden all the corded options I had became obsolete, and I went down to having one single pair of earbuds I could use that were portable enough for me to take out and about that I have to constantly make sure are charged

I'd like to still have the choice to listen to stuff through corded earbuds, or through Bluetooth, and I think any design change that takes away people's options when a lot of people still like having the option to choose between two things is a bad design choice
