Don’t know how I feel about this. I already get sick of the security prompts every three days to manually enter my passcode. If Google starts just deleting them and making me redo them might just fucking go back to the passcode. Hope it’s optional or it at least prompts you before deleting an old one. Not really trusting Google get it right.

Perhaps. But what value would 20 year old chats really have?

I got the xm5 after I lost my 4’s and the differences aren’t that great. The bass seemed better on the 4’s too.

Unfortunately, I have both the headphones and the ear buds and I think the cans isolate noise better than the buds. It could be a problem due to a bad fit though. With the buds I could not get a decent fit with the foam tips so ended up getting some tips on Amazon so I lose a little noise isolation there. The size of the buds for the xm5 isn’t the greatest for me either so THAT doesn’t help - I get a little bit of slipping while eating for example. All said, I still think the xm5 does OKAY, but my link buds surpass it due to a better fit.

The bose might have an overall edge imo going by their reputation of having a good and comfortable fit. My brother has a pair and says they fit real well. I just can’t do the bose because the case is too large for me to carry in my pockets (even the newest model is rather large. The last generation was ridiculous - Bose is kind of crazy with their cases).

I would make sure you buy a pair from a store with a good return policy so if the fit does not work well for you you can exchange for something else. Everyone’s ears are different so there is no way to say how it will fit for you till you try them on.

I’ve been blocked before. I would guess it happens if the IP your using got banned due to some user violation or abuse. But I don’t know.

Depends on the device I imagine. Way back in the olden days I remember pulling my NES along with a handful of games down from the tv stand because I caught a controller walking by. When Xbox introduced the break away cords it was a Godsend in our clumsy house.
