Thanks for getting back to me. The rewards was why I signed up. Welp.
Hadn’t used Firefox in ages. Stuck it back on asking with uBlock. Quite liking how it blocks pages from jumping to an app.
I just need to work out how override it when I actually do occasionally want to follow a link to the playstore!
I always wanted to try the k240s but ended up with the newer version k245 that’s since been discontinued. I’ve got 3 pairs of overear AKGs so it’d be overkill getting the k240s as well.
What’s the sneak stuff in Brave?
I mean it shouldn’t be too much of an issue for manufacturers to make the change to these products to allow for replacement batteries. These devices being useless after only the battery failing is definitely an issue.
What you’ve described should be avoidable.
If they are in ears/over ears you could have a look online for teardowns. Some headphones can have the battery replaced it’s just not “official” and would invalidate any warranty but it looks like you’ve maybe not got too much to use.
Nice, good to see it starting to happen.
I’ve seen a few comments about Bluetooth headphones and TWS earbuds but I don’t think it’s really too much of an issue. For over ear style headphones Steel Series have already proved the concept as they have a headset that has hot swappable rechargeable batteries. No reason other manufacturers can’t design a fitted one that could be replaced.
As for TWS buds, so many of these must already be in landfill when the tiny batteries give out. We’ve already got rechargeable batteries for hearing aids that can be replaced by the user. I’m sure something similar could be achieved for TWS buds.
Yeah, the hinge is a worry. Had considered the superlux DT clones as it’s less if a loss if I ruin them trying to do the cable mod.
I’ve heard that too, product launches = promotion so they keep churning them out.
I got curious and installed it there, Hangouts chats from 2015 - 2018 all appeared. This isn’t as brand new as they’d make you believe.
About £60 max but I’m also considering just skipping cheap headphones to be abused and trying the K361s.
I did also look at the Koss 42iK but thought the headband looked a bit flimsy.
Cheers
I use bxactions (not FOSS) to use it as a play/pause button. Can easily pause and skip tracks keeping the phone in my pocket.
