My last foray into wireless battery powered bluetooth headphones was back when BT 2.1 was common. Recently (2021-2022) I was a school bus driver (resigned now) & someone gave me these S20 TWS wireless earbuds. They sat, in their charging case, under my drawer (improvised desk area: I live out of a bedroom) for about a month. I was fooling around organizing & rediscovered them * plugged in a USB type C charging cable to the charging case & fully charged the case & the ear-buds.
Hopped into the bluetooth control settings on my iPhone SE2 & clicked S20 to pair them & its been an Audio fantasy ever since. I shared the experience with Meg & she loved it, so I did some online market segment analytics or product research & found the Soundcore Life P2 by ANKER (the exceptional cell phone charging adapter brand) on Amazon.com - check out the non-affiliate hyperlink bellow!

They are not the best of anything, but for $44.03 shipped after the 20% off coupon was clipped, what a value. We are talking about 3X less expensive than the Apple EarPods that I was considering to pair with Meg's iPhone 12 mini / I really enjoyed getting Meg a super nice set since my free set sound great, her set will sound even better! She enjoyed the ability to make or take phone calls through the wireless earbuds, & ability to turn them down & still talk to others & hear whats going on around you while music playing softly in the background!
I did a quick market snapshot for the product category by searching www.google.com for "Best Wireless Earbuds 2022" & found this article // click hyperlink -> "blue text below"
They did a lot of product testing & have many recommendations based on your budget & what you want / like so many other aspects in life, it seems there is something for everyone! A free set for me was a special bonus especially now that I am between jobs without active income other than some ad revenue from this blog (tiny) & random X mining on my 3GPU gaming rig 24/7 lol - to say I have been enjoying the summer break so far, not so much.
I have been really sick with a viral pathogen that attacked my upper airway & made it really hard to sleep, constantly coughing & choking up thick yellow mucus with white blood cells. After about 7 days of that I developed a bacterial sinus infection & have been taking Doxycycline antibiotics 2x daily for 5 days to clear that up & have 2 more days to go & finally sleep & breathe better. I am about 80% back to normal, based on fitness testing. I went from 168lbs to 151 lbs from being sick. It was really hard to stay hydrated. I went through so many tissues that my nostrils became tender & sore from blowing my nose so much (several boxes of Puff's) My throat & bronchial network have been very irritated & painful nearly the entire time until starting to become less tender & painful 2 days ago as the infection reduced from the antibiotics treatment.
My pee been really darker orange & very hard to drink enough water to get to any lighter shades of yellow. Normally when healthy & hydrated my pee a very pail light straw color. I started doing color analytics on my urine by peeing in clear plastic bottles of the same shape & capacity, so I can make relative snap evaluations of how hydrated I am based on the color. I can also see the "B-vitamin" dump after I take my morning medication & vitamins - it makes the light yellow color take on an other worldly green hue // its just the way photons in the light are interacting with the atomic electrical structure of the metabolites in my urine, excess water soluble B vitamin metabolites have a lime green / yellow color -- I even did a college level biorhythm project based on the color & volume of urine produced over several weeks of 24 hrs per day collection & data recording, translated into abstract color visualization graphs & analytics & descriptive statistics. I found that my body hydration & urine color were strongly influenced by my activity & fitness levels & how much water I was drinking & when I was eating & what I was eating, especially the smell of the urine. Beer & asparagus & garlic & coffee all seemed to bring special urine smells post consumption //
This might seem kinda random, but have you ever seen the inside of an Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max ? Take a look! The camera sensors are really what make this overpriced flagship phone shine // sensor shift stabilization 5000 per second give the primary camera remarkable image stabilizing capabilities only previously available on high end DSLR cameras! I am holding out for the iPhone 14 & the future model of Apple Watch that has optical glucose tracking! I just think its fun to learn about how tech improving. I was amazed at how far wireless earbuds have come since I last tried them 10+ years ago!
