In all seriousness, the transition of small devices away from AA/AAA batteries is very annoying. I always had batteries charged, now I have to constantly plug some junk in and wait?
I invested in some rechargeable NiMH AAs, and AAAs. Now sometimes I think i prefer some things with old school batteries just because of how convenient it is. Granted, that system wouldn’t work well for my headphones, or my phone. But seems just fine for the odd remote control, kitchen gadget or portable lamp.
Rechargeable AAs and AAAs have finally been perfected, I am kind of annoyed by things that have only internal batteries now, I don’t want them going to the landfill just because the cheap device died. Let me keep running the batteries for a decade in other shit.
The internal batteries often aren’t that hard to replace. If you can get the device open the batteries are standard sizes you can order and often just plug in. Except phones, phone manufacturing relies on pure evil
For decades we had battery packs that could be replaced. we have lifepo4 that’s super safe to handle, i don’t know why we don’t have replacable battery packs anymore :/
I have two sets of headphones, one older set that takes a AA and a new one that charges. I use the older ones constantly since when they die I just grab a NiMH AA out of the charger and pop it in, back in 10 seconds. New one…not so much
The headsets I’ve seen which take AA batteries were heavy af.
What, no. Audio-technica from about 2016, they are normal weight.
Well guess I just haven’t seen 'em then.
I’m not saying light ones don’t exist. I just haven’t seen any.
I bought a set for work that comes with 2 rechargeable lithium packs and an external charger so you can just swap as needed.
Sure but…we had that already
