I might be exaggerating a but I've never been a real fan of Bluetooth headphones or earphones. Sound quality never matched cabled ones (I also have the popular Sony one) and battery life sucks for the time I want to use it
I always wanted to be the cool hipster with cabled headphones and getting mad about phones without audio jack.
Truth is, my cables always got tangled up, especially at work. It was getting really annoying. I bought some open ear headphones from aftershokz because i often listen to music wherever and i don't want to be isolated. These things absolutely fuck. Battery life is fantastic. Even if they are empty, i can throw them into the pocket charger for 15 minutes and they go for hours again. The sound is good. It's not full blown headphone quality, obviously. But they are so comfortable and you don't have to stick anything into your ears. I saw that bose has a similar product and i kinda wanna try them.
There's a method to put headphones into your pocket without them tangling. Fold them in half always instead of coiling them up.
I learned 'cable macrame' from my networking mentor. I can wrap a cable so fast, and it's not gonna tangle.
