It ' s still wireless in a sense that it ' s not connected to the phone . Useful for running . Edit I ' M NOT DEFENDING THE FUCKING STUPID WIRELESS EARPODS , are you guys really that dumb ? I ' m saying the wire is useful . Geez . <| sep |> Well speaking this year specifically i have been listening to David Bowie I ' m Afraid of Americans because of Berlin Station and Otis Redding You Don ' t Miss Your Water And more from Otis because of Quarry . <| sep |> Thank you very much for such detailed reply . I possible , please tell me where did you buy the monitor , maybe you are right it ' s something related with the first batches but could also be related with monitors from USA vs EU . Other thing that scares me is that people claimed the retention was worse during the summer , so now that it ' s cold maybe most of the users are not getting it but if i buy it and the issue appears next summer i litterally die xD . Also you are right , i messed up and linked the 87 instead of the 88 , had a lot of tabs opened when i created this xD , gonna edit it . Again , thanks for the time you took to do the detailed post . I will keep investigating the purchase while i gather all the money .
