Buy a third set and then pick two devices for each pair.

Yep, it’s called Bluetooth bone conducting headphones and if you’re that deaf, you should buy a cheap pair. They’re only like $20 on Amazon. Saves you being a loud asshole in public and makes hearing your phone infinitely easier.

Bluetooth is a bigger hastle than just plugging in a wire.

What? Literally every single pair of Bluetooth headphones I own auto connect to my phone by the time I have both buds in my ears.

And all the cheap ones use Micro-B instead of C for charging

I bought a cheap pair of $20 anker ones a couple years ago for gardening and they’re USB c. Even the cheapo taotronics I got from AliExpress were USB c. I don’t think micro has been in use for a while now.

Sonos is the apple of speakers: great hardware, but overpriced and a walled garden.

Given the insane tariffs on Chinese goods and the fact that china is still thriving begs to differ.

The long and short of it is even leftie Americans have internalised American exceptionalism, even if they aren’t cognisant of it. And the right are, well… Racist and don’t want to admit it.

Given the way things are going, the US will implode long before China does.
