There are at least three lights in my house that i turn on/off by just partially unscrewing the bulb, because the switch arrangement is stupid and my ceilings are kinda low

feel like I’ve broken enough wired headphones and I’m finally ready to go AirPods but I can’t get over the fear that one of them will fall out and disappear on the street or at the gym is this realistically an issue or are there little retaining clips and things

it almost def won't happen with airpods pro. it's not common with regular airpods but is a legitimate worry if you're sweaty, doing high impact stuff, etc

New job just called and asked if I'm okay with them giving me a 14" M1 MBP as my work computer. A couple of posts ago I expressed my love and devotion for my 2012 15" MBP. I understand now that for my hubris, God has seen fit to tempt me with a more capable machine.

Silver Alicorn posted:i'll tbh those powerbeats pro look really good i picked up a pair of these super cheap at auction. they’re nice but i’d probably be annoyed if i’d paid retail for them. no noise cancellation so you’ll want some foam tips if you want any kind of isolation. the case is also huge in comparison to airpods lol, not really pocketable. absolutely do not fall off your ears tho. the beats fit pro are i guess less ‘premium’ in some way they don’t bother defining but they do have active noise cancellation. i’d check those out too.

i used to use powersbeats pros, they essentially cannot fall out by design. good battery life on both buds and case, both buds and case quick to charge too. downsides: no noise cancelling, battery life fell off a cliff after about 2 years of regular use, and case is not pants pocketable (but fine in a jacket or bag) i use airpods pros now and they're good but they can fall out once in a while particularly if you get sweaty or you're like bending over and working on something a lot. finding the case is a lot easier. most of the time they stay put. i'm pretty happy with them on the balance

my airpods mark 2 don’t fall out of my ears. they’re convenient as hell (with wired headphones out and about id always rip em out of my ears by my own clumsiness) but I can’t use them for work unfortunately as bouncing b/w different audio sources always makes em drop connection for me

they also sell little silicone tips with hooks you can buy and put on your air pods if you’re really worried about it. I used them for my gen 1 AirPods while working out because they never stayed in. https://www.amazon.com/AhaStyle-Anti-Slip-Accessories%E3%80%90Not-Charging-Compatible/dp/B0837G66Q5/

in fairness, airpods pros 2 are great, it might just be my ear canals are just between medium and large (but medium falls out somewhat more) i'm not super concerned about it as if i did drop one it's unlikely i'd lose it completely and i do have applecare+ for breakage

we have pros 2, to be clear for many people the default tips will be good, for others get the comply foam tips as recommended

last night i went to a loud hardcore show in a 200 square foot garage space that had big rear end jbl stacks and my watch was basically continually buzzing 100 dB "you're about to go loving deaf, bro" warnings while i used my pods pro in noise cancel mode as makeshift earplugs. this morning, completely fine. Thanks, timb
