Not sure what you mean. Are you implying that because on occasion some people will lose an AirPod they are somehow worse than vape pods that are designed to be disposed of within days after first use?

    people who like the concept don't give a fuck about the environment, it's just convenient for them so fuck it.

    I'm sure you'll justify it for yourself lol.

    you don't need them, you just like them, and don't care that it's created an entire new class of ewaste.

    People lose phones more often, huge source of e-waste that we should ban first. In fact most people wouldn't even have a reason to buy the earbuds if they didn't have a phone in the first place.

    something tells me they don't just evaporate, never to be used used again, but resold.

    hard to resell a single earbud.
