gollark: So I have to recharge them *every hour*?
gollark: This is versus bluetooth ones, which are generally compatible with *most* things I guess (I can't figure out Bluetooth on my laptop, though), cost >£30, require frequent charging, and need replacing when batteries fail.
gollark: ...
gollark: Anyway! Wired headphones are compatible with basically everything which hasn't gone for ***COURAGE***, cost £5 or so for some reasonably working ones, do not need charging, and have no batteries which need replacing.
gollark: > apple products last longer than 5 years with good care
