I need some new earbuds, and live in a place with severe winters. I want to be able to access the controls using gloves or mittens if possible.
The online reviews I’ve seen all assume that you can just touch the earbuds with bare hands, but when it’s well below freezing, that sometimes isn’t possible. If I have to take off a mitt to use my earbuds my hand might not warm up until I can get back indoors again. Earbuds that work with touchscreen-capable gloves aren’t good enough either. I’ve never seen touchscreen-capable gloves that keep your hands warm at -40C.
Any suggestions?
I have the same exact model and I love them! They’re light, a lot of earbuds try to pack too much. I know it seems silly when we’re talking grams, but it does make a difference. Well made case. I’ve had mine for 18 months and they’re still holding up.
I also got tip replacements made out of earplug material, they do more than the noise cancellation ever did. I typically don’t turn on the noise cancellation as I can’t tell the difference and it only serves to drain the battery.
Definitely recommend. And yes the buttons are big and easily mashed. I too live in a cold climate, and they held up just fine. At -30f, which isn’t far off from -40
Edit: also the earplug material traps a lot more body heat!
