Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets - eviltoast

But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

    Not at all! It drives me nuts. I’ve tried watching movies with Bluetooth headphones on, so as not to bug my wife at night, and it just feels off. Almost like watching old subtitled movies. I checked it out and my headphones have a ~250ms response time. My car’s system literally has a nearly two second delay and I can’t take it.

        It seems to be worse with multiple devices in use. I tried going Bluetooth only on my work laptop, and it just couldn’t handle my keyboard, mouse, and headphones (headphones would be laggy and sometimes skip/get static).

        So for my work computer, I use wired headphones and Bluetooth everything else (I like typing with my keyboard on my lap sometimes).
