Christopher, That’s the issue,
It isn’t you that is likely to be stupid and make a mistake But the drivers of the vehicles that we have to be concerned about. From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: Tuesday, 30 March 2021 7:17 am To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside I think I’d mostly encounter electric cars and bicycles at intersections, where I’m going to be more vigilant anyway, but I’m not stupid, and if I thought my ability to react to what was going on around me would be compromised by wearing Airpods then I wouldn’t be wearing them. I do have Aftershokz, which I find are plenty good enough with respect to fidelity, and Bose Frames if I want something with better fidelity or more style, and which are my go to devices when I’m out and about anyway. I do keep my Airpod Pros with me when I’m out, even if I grab my Bose Frames. Because they’re so portable and give me options like noise cancellation when I’m in a noisy restaurant. I’d have plenty of situations to use my Airpods with transparency mode turned out though where I’d feel perfectly safe though. This doesn’t mean I’m ignoring my situational awareness or telling others that it’s OK to wear Airpods under all circumstances! 😉 -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook From: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com>> On Behalf Of Pete Nalda Sent: Monday, March 29, 2021 12:51 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside Well, it looks like I’m probably the only one stubborn enough To even try to want to wear them about, but Austin does have dedicated bike lines, and as far as somebody write down the sidewalk and hit me I’ll guarantee you with my girth, that little bicycle is going to go down! Another thing I wanted to mention about why am so hell bent crazy over wearing the Max around over the Pro’s, is battery life. Being like 5 times longer! Another luxurious feature that you have is instant control over content volume, and for that matter, content play back, no Siri or pinching needed! So to me it’s also a UX feature. But I’m glad that this has brought such a vital discussion! As for the afterShox, or bone conduction, no way for me, as I am just too picky about Fidelity, even with voices, and phone calls! And the other sporty options I would not pursue it unless they had both transparency and noise canceling. But I might consider going back to just using the pros to run around with. I can always leave the big boys at home, if I think I’m going to encounter weather, although, when it was cold, they did keep my ears warm! So for me, it boils down to the convenience of having direct control of volume, and content play back.In other words I guess I’m just an old curmudgeon who chooses to live on the edge for his own comfort and convenience. Like I said I’m enjoying the conversation Egun On, Lagunak!
