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?
Circumvent the whole issue with speaking to the assistant. Siri may be a moron but it works quite well in this application on AirPods. The AirPods Pro 2 are some of the best you can buy. They’re excellent.
I have to shovel snow plenty in the winter here an I just tell it to play, pause, volume up, etc. Doesn’t miss a beat and I’m not taking my mittens off.
Nah, not going to do that. I really hate the voice assistant and never use it. Glad it works for you, but it’s not for me.
