On: AirPods don't “just work”

[cabirum]

I want so much the wireless headphones fad to go away.

When batteries deplete in the middle of a meeting, what are you supposed to do? Connect a spare pair via usb dongle?

I don't generally struggle with battery in meetings (I prioritize battery life when buying ear buds), but I keep a set of wired earbuds with a USB-C in my laptop case as a backup. They don't come out often, but they have gotten me through a couple of meeting marathons.
