I've had a couple Anker wireless. Though not too keen on my current pair - Anker P2 Life or similar sounding. Bit too light and have a long stubby bit that I think is meant to bring closer to your mouth for calls and such (hence the "Life" branding I guess) but kinda just poke you a bit.
Last pair were more rotund.

 

USB-C to headphone jack just handy to have as a back up, can be got dirt cheap. I have one that has charging pass through - great for parties where you can just plug into an older hi-fi speaker and keep phone topped up with juice.

I haven't tried the Pixel ones, I have a pair of Anker ones that I like. You can also get USB-C to headphone jack adapters for like $5 if you want to stick with your current ones.

 

I could probably get a bit more mileage out of them tbh, so that's good to know. But I've been wanting wireless ones for too long not to use this as an excuse to upgrade. Ended up ordering some PIxel Buds Pro.

 

Did some reading and it sounds like they're pretty good if a tad overpriced. They were on sale so I went for it. Even ordered directly from the Google store because Amazon didn't have the ones that match the color of my phone and I'm the kind of idiot that cares about these things. Can't be listening to music on Fog-colored ear buds with a Bay-colored phone.

No, we were only getting a car at all because we wanted electric. I had been looking into it and there are enough chargers around that even in Kansas it's very feasible now. It has a ~250 mile range, so like driving to visit my wife's family in South Dakota would take more planning than it would with a gas car to make sure we're recharging where we need to, but other than that it's far enough to easily go anywhere we might want to without risking being caught somewhere without a charger.

 

We also have a whole home solar power system, so we'll be able to charge it off 100% clean power when we're at home, so I am very much looking forward to having a car that I don't have to feel guilty about driving.

love my electric car. Don't have range anxiety at all these days now infrastructure is better, and charging speeds are such that by the time I've had a coffee, snack, toilet break, I've got more than enough to get to my next stop along the way.

 

Yeah, visiting my wife's family in South Dakota is the only trip we make with any kind of frequency where it'll be annoying, having to charge would add an hour and a half or so to the already 7 hour long trip. But that's a trip we make like once every other year, so we didn't think it was worth basing our car decision on that. Everywhere else we ever go we should be able to cover in a single charge (or with only a few minutes' charging during bathroom breaks), and we aren't getting rid of our good gas car yet so we'll still have that option if we want it.

Well as of this past Friday we made it through our 7 day trial period and we are keeping it. We really like it, there's a couple small little niggles (like the trunk light is on the side instead of the top, so if something is on that side it blocks the light from the whole trunk, little stuff like that) but overall it's really great.
