yeah same. AirPods with noise cancellation have been kinda lifesaving for me

I had summer/side jobs doing manual labour where I used wired buds when I grew up/studied, before noise cancelling was even a thing (in commercial products at least, I learnt about the theory in physics class). Maybe that's why I still kind of prefer them to easily-lost wireless buds.

Between laundering hands free pieces, dropping them in parking lots, dropping them in yard, running over them, zero charge, really is just choosing which set of problems a given user has less trouble with.

My big hate is the threat of rustling of the wires— my brain notices that if my head moves it makes a sound so I unintentionally sit much more still if I have wired headphones
