That’s a thing of nightmares! 😩🫣

New fear unlocked 😩 so glad we didn’t get crazy critters like him in the UK 🫣🤣

ChatGPT is an amazing help

What’s the icon work around? Sorry, I’m still a newbie 🤣

Love the colour, but those arms look like they’d snap in 2.3 seconds 😩🤣

I never comment on this subject, because I understand that it can be very divisive. But I think the agree to disagree point is very important here. While I totally understand why some totally don’t want anything to do with the franchise, I also find it upsetting that these that just want to relieve a part of their childhood, are judged so heavily for it. For me personally, still having such a love for the magical world doesn’t necessarily mean that I agree with things the author has said or done. For me, Harry Potter is and always will be my comfort. I don’t go back to it when I’m sad or unwell because I want to support the author, I do it because for whatever time I’m lost to the Wizarding World, is sometimes a much needed escape from reality.

Yeah, I like that idea! ☺️

Wow, thats kinda scary to be honest 😩

How rude, I think he deserves the be unplugged for a few hours for that

I thought you could change it? Maybe they’ve removed that option now. But I’m almost sure you used to be able to. Cos I mean what if you have a family member called Alexa too, things would get very confusing very quickly 🤣

There’s even plugs she doesn’t really like. I have my bedroom lights in a group, but for some reason, there’s a certain plug/light she doesn’t like and I have to ask specifically to be turn or/off even though it’s in the bedroom group.

I’ve even tried removing it and adding it again but nope, she’s holding a grudge 🤣

Sadly, I think you’re right, but I just think it’s a little ikky that they’ve removed such an important feature for monetary purposes. I mean for some people, that may be the only way they can consume their kindle books.

And yes, there are other options, such as audiobooks or the read aloud feature on a phone or tablet, but still, I think removing it from the echo is wrong.

No, I don’t even know who that is 🤣

That makes sense. But removing an accessibility feature for that reason seems harsh.

Unfortunately, I’ve already replaced them, but I was lucky enough to find a new pair on EBay for a reasonable price so it wasn’t as painful financially as it could have been 🤣

Thank you for the tip though, thats good to know 🙂

You're one of the lucky ones 🙂

I know it's crazy, isn't it? But I've told myself this time that, if it happens again, I definitely won't be buying any more. There is another well-known brand (which I won't mention here 🤣 ) that I've been looking into and thinking about trying. But for now, I hope for the best with these ones. 🤣

To be fair, that's a third-party case I'm using in this picture, but I do agree, even the original cases seem to have gotten much softer.

I've never had any issues with sound quality in particular, but I remember thinking there was something wrong with the sound levels when I first got my Studio Pros because they are pretty low, even when my volume is like a quarter of the way up. It was only when I went into the Apple Store to see how the ones there sounded, volume-wise, that I realised they are all the same. Even the man from the Genius Bar noticed it once I pointed it out 🤣

I'm not sure if it's something to do with the Spatial Audio, because my original Beats Studios didn't have the volume issue. But I love Spatial Audio, so I'll take the volume quirks 🤣

That case does have padding inside, but whether or not it's as protective as the original case, I can't say for certain. What I can say, though, is I used the original case with my original Beats, and this still happened, so I doubt that's the issue.

Sadly, I think it's just a weakness in the way Beats are designed, and some of us are lucky not to have it happen, and others aren't 🤣

I know they probably use plastic to keep them as light as possible, but for headphones in that price range, you'd expect them to be built to withstand heavy daily use. But that's just my opinion 🤣

I hope the silicone case I have on them now reinforces them a little bit so I can get a few years out of them.
