I use bxactions (not FOSS) to use it as a play/pause button. Can easily pause and skip tracks keeping the phone in my pocket.
I've not tried it but if you've got some electrical contact cleaner you could spray some in, move it around a bit and see if it resets back to centre. Let it dry out for a bit before powering it on.
As far as I know a lot of controllers (joycons, DS5, etc.) Have the same issue as they all use the same internal part.
You could possibly order one and have a go at replacing it. Seems a lot for something defective pretty much right out the box though.
Fair point, I also make a point of only buying ones that have a removable cable for that reason.
I did also recently, as a geeky project, get some Mackie mc-100 headphones and mod them to take a removable 3.5mm cable.
I have too many pairs of headphones and have been buying more wired ones rather than Bluetooth as they just don't last as long (they are convenient, I'll admit).
The 3.5mm Jack is just so handy to have ratger than a dongle (SD card for storing all the music helps too).
Picked one with a funny name and the admin seemed quite relaxed but it appears to have gone offline permanently.
A lot of them have already said they'd withdraw (facetime, iMessage, signal, WhatsApp included).
The boys and Call of Duty. Unfortunately I know this doesn't work out.
Thanks for getting back to me. The rewards was why I signed up. Welp.
Hadn't used Firefox in ages. Stuck it back on asking with uBlock. Quite liking how it blocks pages from jumping to an app.
I just need to work out how override it when I actually do occasionally want to follow a link to the playstore!
I always wanted to try the k240s but ended up with the newer version k245 that's since been discontinued. I've got 3 pairs of overear AKGs so it'd be overkill getting the k240s as well.
What's the sneak stuff in Brave?
I mean it shouldn't be too much of an issue for manufacturers to make the change to these products to allow for replacement batteries. These devices being useless after only the battery failing is definitely an issue.
What you've described should be avoidable.
If they are in ears/over ears you could have a look online for teardowns. Some headphones can have the battery replaced it's just not "official" and would invalidate any warranty but it looks like you've maybe not got too much to use.
I've seen a few comments about Bluetooth headphones and TWS earbuds but I don't think it's really too much of an issue. For over ear style headphones Steel Series have already proved the concept as they have a headset that has hot swappable rechargeable batteries. No reason other manufacturers can't design a fitted one that could be replaced.
As for TWS buds, so many of these must already be in landfill when the tiny batteries give out. We've already got rechargeable batteries for hearing aids that can be replaced by the user. I'm sure something similar could be achieved for TWS buds.
Nice. It's a bit different from my usual listening. Plus my Spanish is very very basic.
Another that came up on the generator with a sort of similar vibe was Getz/Gilberto, more light jazz but you might like it (if you don't already know it).
Buena Vista Social Club. It came up on the 1001AlbumsGenerator. It's probably the album I've revisited the most.
How do you follow a tag? I've got the Mastodon App and Tusky and can't work it out on either.
I’ve heard that too, product launches = promotion so they keep churning them out.
I got curious and installed it there, Hangouts chats from 2015 - 2018 all appeared. This isn’t as brand new as they’d make you believe.

Hi,
I'm looking for a pair or reasonable sounding budget over ears for out and about and that won't be loved as much as my others. Ideally with a removable mic or very easily modded.
I've had a look at...
Mackie MC-100 - Anyone heard these, I'd need to mod them too. ATH-M20x JLabs Studio Pro - Not quite sure on how good these would sound. Rane RH-1 -(possible Mackie Clones)
I like balanced/mid forward bright headphones like the AKG K702, AKG K257, Grado SR80x (I know the ones above won't get close but more of an idea of what I'm chasing for cheap "beaters".
Cheers
Update - I ended up getting a good price on the Mackie MC-100. Got them and successfully modded them to take a 3.5mm removable cable. For the price I think theyr're pretty good. Light but seem solid enough, time will tell. Earpads are a bit shallow though. Not much after market options for square 100m x 80mm pads though.
Soundwise I really like them. Not too much bass but definitely there. Soundstage is narrow but the imaging/instrument separation is great.
