I have an older pair of Plantronics headphones (from 2018) and honestly there’s nothing wrong with them. They still sound good. I replaced the earpads maybe 6 months ago because the originals wore out and split open. But now they’re as good as new.

The only reason I think of upgrading to something more current is because they charge with the old school micro USB (the kind that has 2 pins on one side) and everything else I own charges with USB C. It’s annoying that I have to keep an old school micro USB cable because that’s the only way to charge the headphones but it feels like a waste to get rid of them and upgrade to something with a USB C charging port.

What should I do? Quit whining and get rid of the Plantronics for something current? Or should I just ride with the Plantronics until the wheels fall off?

    As someone who recently “upgraded”, I agree. My prior pair of headphones are nearly as good as the new pair and have some functionality that just isn’t offered anymore (lots of physical buttons).
