1. Who the hell told you that you had to buy wireless earbuds, in the first place?
2. So you listen to music through your headphones while driving?
3. What about the amount of times where earbuds fall because the WIRE was stuck on something?
4. I won't call you paranoid, I will call you a troll. 1/10 troll attempt.

1. No one, except Apple seems to be pushing me over that cliff.
2. No, that's illegal, but I do hard wire the phone into the aux plug and keep it on a charger. So, if I want to charge and listen now, I need a bluetooth equipped car, which I don't have and don't want to buy.
3. That does happen, but I've never lost them, because of that.
4. Your opinion, you're entitled to it.

Take the number of times an ear bud fell out of my ear and was saved by the wire attached to it and multiply it by the cost of AirPods that will get lost or run over by a lawn mower when they fall out and you got a huge number. But I guess Apple is counting on that to increase sales and profits. I've had ear buds and headphones that have lasted years. I bet I'm not going to be able to hold on to something as small as AirPods for over a month. These things are asking to be lost. And I really don't want to have to buy a new Bluetooth equipped car just so I can listen to music and charge the darn device at the same time. Bottom line is if Apple is correct about all this wireless interaction, I'll be glad that I'll be dead and those that are left can enjoy their "Brave New World" where all their thoughts and words are being monitored by corporations and governments 24/7/365. You will never see Alexa in my house. Call me paranoid, if you so desire. I've been called worse.
