He's definitely the guy at the gym walking around shouting on phone calls so everyone can see how important he is.

    I'm picturing the scene in Freddy Got Fingered where Tom Green is on a date but brought his dad's landline phone to pretend to be an important business man.

    "You sent it to Helsinki?! You're fucking fired, Bob! You're fucking fired!"

    Either a weird flex or humble brag that he can afford all of those

    Yes, that’s insane. Just get one set and carry them with you?

    But always carrying one set is for plebs.

    This is what happens when you mix brand loyalty, with to much money and executive dysfunction

    I thought this was a cool ADHD life hack but then I saw what comm I was in.

    That is a desktop PC of extra cost, to solve something a dedicated pocket would fix.

    I have a pair of earbuds in each of my two vehicles, a pair at work and a pair at my desk at home, but my earbuds cost $20 a pair

    I don't understand why you'd want to wear these for all activities. I'm very happy plugging in a wired over ear headphones with mic for work and leaving them there.

    I mean I do this but with packs of JVC Gumis I stocked up on when they were $5 each in 2016

    You would think he would be in cybersecurity and paranoid to have multiple earbuds. But no

    Lol, should I be impressed? I own a pair of Apple AirPod Pro's, bought them in part because I worked with a MacBook at the time and admittedly they worked together very well. They now live somewhere in a drawer, to be forgotten for all eternity, as that is the only fate they deserve.

    Sound quality (music)? Might be taste, but nothing to write home about.

    Reliably connecting with anything that's not an Apple product? Lol

    Firmware upgrades if you don't own an Apple phone? Rofl

    Had to return them twice because of a manufacturing error (there even was an official replacement program) and Apple, being the cheap-ass SoB's they are, would only replace the right pod as that one had issues. So of course two weeks after my set was returned the left one started acting up as well.

    But the cherry on top: the other reason I bought them was the noise cancelling. It was during Covid and I would work in the same room as my GF, so being able to not having to listen in on her calls was necessary for me. The original pods had fantastic noise cancelling, where the replacements did an absolutely and utterly shitty job. The most important feature, the justification for their existence: removed. Great job Apple, great job.

    Never again.

    Sorry for the rant, the hatred runs deep I guess.

    Multiple sets? Fine. Multiples of the same type? Weird. Over ear, in ear, bone conducting, etc. All have their place.

    Just charging them all would be a nightmare.

    How I'm told I should feel over having a charger in my room, the living room, my car, and at work, and trying to keep it that way when someone(almost never me) gives them away or loses them. If I give up on any, I'll soon have none, the way things work around here.

    I think it's more about the very steep cost of air pods compared to, say, chargers. I think it's perfectly fine to have multiple, especially since they're usually used for charging multiple devices. Air pods aren't as universal.

    Oh no, I don't get flack about this on the internet, from friends, workmates, clients or strangers. I'll leave it there though, with the exception that I don't buy any bricks or car-chargers besides the Anker ones anymore.

    This last week I got some $60 3-in-1/"portable" non-sense for work. Open-box, but still, I've turned an un-healthy corner of leaning-into the character my family thinks I am in yet-another facet of financial-irresponsibility.

    This is one part of the post.

    EDIT: This is the other part of the post that I actually want you to interact with, but I'm adding it later to make it look like a casual reply to the comments.
