A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

That just means the weakest link in your ear-hole to pocket-hole chain has moved from the headphone jack to your adapter thingy. A point in the headphones favor if anything. I think your biggest problem is keeping your phone in your hip pocket. That's just an area that gets twisted and squeezed a lot.
Maybe think of an arm band holster thingy thing like you see joggers use? Just take the whole affair out of your hip pocket and I think you'll stop going through earbuds so quickly.
Maybe think of making the switch to wireless? I know once I adapted myself and my habits to having wireless earbuds, it's been a much smoother and better time.
Im considering making an Armband or just adding a pocket to my pants that sits in a better spot, kinda like a thigh band I guess.
I've used wireless buds for the past ~4 years and I've had to rma so many of them that I've given up, I've rma'd my last pair and gave them to a friend. I'm also not keen on the environmental impact, so really trying to avoid them if possible.
