  • Trust that it works well and it does. However, first gen was not as good as after it.

    1. Good microphone quality. Not true for first gen after some time in my experience

    2. Reliable connection. True most of the time.

    3. Apple ecosystem, yes to a small degree. Ability to see battery level is nice.

    4. Fast recharge times

    5. Endless usage time if using one headphone at a time. It is my preference usage method.

    Cons: high price. After several years I expect to find comparable competition. It exists, and i use it, but i lost: 1, 2, 3 from my list. And usability is crap: accidentally touching headphone turns it off.


  • Downvotes shall list better headphones.

    I myself have not found a better solution.

    I like apple headphones and i settled on similar shaped non-apple brand at a fraction af the price, but it is lower in quality compared to apple. Microphone is crap and I stopped trying to use it. Headphones level is good at low level and high level sound reproduction, but it is not as accurate as apple.

    In the end the trade off is worth it to me for the price, but i will not claim at is better.

    So, bring on your alternative and price of it.


  • Mine lasted for years as far as battery is concerned.

    Unfortunately the loudness level has dropped significantly. I went to Apple store and they acknowledged this as that’s what happens to them.

    Eventually I gave up and replaced with alternative lower cost similar style headphones. The sound level is plenty, but microphone is terrible. I tried several and found I found similar problems. It is acceptable for much lower cost, but doesn’t compare.


  • You can pay for dreamhost, namecheap or any other shared hosting plan that provides WebDAV. Some provide unlimited storage. I am not sure how realy unlimited it is.

    Buy domain and host empty website. Turn on ssl using hosting tools. Dreamhost provides you with free certificate for that. Namecheap charges after 1st year.

    Create directory on the website using hosting tools and turn on webdav on that directory. It can be password protected. Turn on password protection and disable public access using hosting tools.

    That will give you a disk that can be mounted on Windows, Linux or mac without additional software. On iOS you will need an app like OwlFiles. You will have access to it From home or coffee shop. Anywhere. It will act as your remote storage and you can access it using Explorer or Finder. Most tools will read content of remote disk without any restrictions.

    Create another directory and leave public access to have public sharing directory only you can change (keep passwords).

    Create another directory or use one of your private subdirectory with application Joplin and you get free and open source notes and todo system. That system can encrypt all your notes with master password. I recommend it: https://joplinapp.org

    The might be other apps…
