Falls dir abholen nichts ausmacht, lass es zu einer Filiale liefern. Das hab ich bisher immer ohne Versandkosten gesehen. Mir fällt speziell e-tec ein (EDIT: Ich sehe grad, dass es die nur in Österreich gibt), bei denen ich das für PC-Bauteile gemacht hab.

Ich bitte aufrichtig um Entschuldigung. Wie konnte ich nur!?

Ist das dieses Wutköder von dem alle reden?

But now we can say "Scientifically speaking, they are attention seeking morons."

Ich kann nicht mehr

You could argue that people can be identified by their writing style. I have no idea how far you'd get with that though.

Eine neue "Begründung"? Da hast du hohe Ansprüche, ich hab innerhalb von etwa 10 Jahren nur diese beiden abwechselnd gesehen.

but I really don't understand the hate for devices that don't have one.

I like to have the choice. And I choose not having to buy another device.

in a world where Bluetooth reigns supreme.

We must think of different aspects then.

• Reliability - battery charge, potential signal loss (note that I have no experience with wireless headphones, so the second point could be wrong.)
• Longevity - batteries that degrade vs a cable that's fine if you don't abuse it
• Ease of use - Plug it into what I want vs pairing process, possible problems with switching, devices sometimes malfunction (meaning software-wise)
• (Audio quality - I can plug them into any DAC I want vs being limited to the built in one - I will not pretend to be able to hear the difference between 16bit/48kHz and something higher. But I still could use an audio interface that can do it.)

I jut want to address the point with the battery.

To be fair, the charging cases (if we talk about earbuds) are a good idea.

That said, with wired headphones I need to charge one device less, don't have to worry about battery care (no matter how much effort you consider this, it's zero with wired) and it's no factor for the longevity of the device.

Also this:

And if you're going on long road trips, just pack an adapter and wired headphones if you're that conscious.

So I need another pair of headphones and an apdapter vs just one pair of headphones?

... As in man man or "man, man"?

... Aren't devices designed to only charge the battery to 90% (and report that as 100%), because actually changing a battery to 100% is pretty harmful for it?
