Wires

I got a pair of Bose headphones for Christmas. They’re selectively wired. They have Bluetooth capability, but they also have a little cord that’s detachable at both ends.

That is brilliant. That’s not even the sort of thing I’d ask if it existed, much less request. Yet it’s so useful. A lot of my stuff is wired only, but my phone can do both.

People in Bose had meetings about that. There were fights. The wired-vs-wireless arguments were intense and violent until some low-key genius asked, ‘Can we just make it both?’

You know that’s a fight: wired vs wireless. You know people have opinions, beliefs, and commitments! And it’s such a simple solution.
