MODERATORS
I guess I care more about workers and fair trade, but that's a fair point. Wired earbuds are just copper whereas wireless use lithium and whatever minerals Bluetooth requires.
Don't mind the downvotes. Fair trade and eco-friendliness are both important, but sometimes you can't get both. Gray area exists, and I don't judge anyone who places one before another. Provided they understand both of course.
