Re: That vendor's track record for reparability is miserable
"Jake - what are you offering me for $300/year?"
It's not $300/yr, it's the low, low price of $1,000/3yrs. What you get is an ongoing lesson in Total Cost of Ownership without buying into a closed garden full of consumer goods that are the epitome of unnecessary planned obsolescence. At the end of my program, you will have the exact same product as you will doing it Apple's way.
"my listening devices cost an order of magnitude more"
That's nice and all, but what does it have to do with the subject at hand? Shirley you're not playing the handicapped card?
"The Koss cans aren't nearly as portable as airpods"
Oh, horseshit. If you can carry airpods, you can carry my headphones. And if you truly can't, how about a nice pair of 1982's P/19s? (I just dug out three pair ... They still sound excellent, despite having been in a box for probably 30 years. In the same box: a couple of KSC/50 SoundCells that I don't remember owning ... They still work, too.)
"nor do they have microphones"
The ARE a pair of microphones.
