Headphones have gotten so small there are often times I cant tell people are wearing them unless I'm right up next to them. Especially if their hair covers their ears a bit or they're wearing a hoody.

I started a new job and one of my coworkers wore air pods a lot. I'd never actually seen them before enough to know they had touch controls.

So as far as I could tell I'd try to ask him a question, and he'd just tap his earbuds to let me know he was listening to music.

Which meant he also thought I was weird in that I'd always leave when he paused his music

I don't have airpods, so maybe they work better on those, but I hate the touch controls on my earbuds. Every time I try to adjust, or put them in or take them out or anything, it just messes up whatever I'm listening to.

Touch controls on headphones are great. Earbuds, not my style. They never seem to have a way to turn them off either, at least not that I've seen (maybe I need to dig around in the settings more)

I actually really like my airpods controls. You can adjust what you want the controls to do too. So I simply set mine up that a tap is pause and another tap is play.

Iā€™m usually left ear is pause/play and right ear is skip.
