So you don't have to deal with a small wire in your clothes? And yet, this is where smartphone manufacturers are going.

Chicken 12/12/18 5:19:57 AM #10:	I have a pair of those hook over your ear type earphones with a thin cord connecting them that you put behind your neck. Only costed me maybe $35, doesnt have those weird plastic collar things, only need to charge them once a week, maybe twice if Im constantly using them. And I can just let them hang around my neck under my shirt when not using them. Im not exactly an audiophile or whatever but they sound pretty good to me. Pretty good range on them too. I can leave my phone in my bedroom while in the kitchen and theres no drop in quality. --- https://youtu.be/jGbI0P4hh3o <cite>Chicken posted [p:913988499] in Honestly, ...
