    I left my AirPods at my friend’s house so I had to fallback to wired headphones for my run tonight. Can’t believe our ancestors used to live like this.

        This was an unexpectedly long one (11 miles) with a bunch of small walking tweet breaks lol. Several hours of Soundcloud EDM mixes

        Haha tweet breaks during a run is impressive. If I hear music, I run to the music instead of to my breath and it throws me off, even Spotify’s run mode. Have tried podcasts but do all of my running without headphones. Highly recommend @si_bonobo if you’re not onto him already!

        It’s like having to drive in traffic instead of auto-drive. Really hammers home the nps question ‘how upset would you be if you were no longer able to use this product’

        So true - 4 years ago I spent too much money on Shure 435s - my AirPods have since rendered them and every other headphone unused.
