- Gadhouse launched USB-C wesley headphones of Retro: $ 68 / £ 59
- The launch comes days after Google called Wires ‘Sloppy’ and ‘Vagina’
- Wireless outbreaks generally last 2 years; I own cable cans who are 15 years old
Sometimes, a product is only launched into a excellent Time, right? A relevant time; An important moment.
Now, I could create a perfectly worthy news of Gadhouse Wesley. After all, they are new retro -inspired headphones that would not be seen outside the Max’s ears in Strangest things (Or, in fact, in any program established in the 80s).
And thanks to their beautiful USB-C cable, they can offer 48 kHz losses, which is something that even the best Bluetooth codecs within the best wireless headphones still cannot really do, but that the best headphones with cable and headphones with cable can certainly certainly.
You can also get that level of audio detail using your Max AirPods connected to your USB-C cable, of course, but Apple’s 2020 cans still cost a lot of money: $ 549 or £ 499 for quick reference. And Gadhouse Wesley cost only $ 68 / £ 59 (or around Au $ 123). I love the retro-reaunion appearance of these headphones, and I will certainly buy them when they arrive in September, to associate with my Android.
But this is something much bigger, for me. In fact, it’s Big Tech and what Google said in his event by Google Pixel on Wednesday, August 20. In case you have lost it, I will link the two -minute sponsored segment of the popular interview program and Kareem Rahma Podcast Subway Take, that Google cut during its event, here …

Wired is ‘neglected’? Surely lithium -ion batteries in shoots are more careless
Why start? One could disagree with the notion that cable headphones look “careless” or “shameful” (although the two cables of those microphones to obtain a decent voice truck look absolutely well, however, do I suppose?) Or the overwhelming statement that “they do nothing you want to do.” Actually, mine reproduces high resolution music practically without latency, and that is exactly what I want, thanks.
Or there is a little more sinister notion that if her daughter started using cable headphones, she would “expel her from the house … until she received some outbreaks.”
I find it hard to believe that, in 2025, we are advocating the headphones without drums that could last a lot in adulthood in favor of wireless headphones that only last while the lithium -ion battery leaned in them. Allow me to be clear: however good the audio quality and the set of features, this battery will gradually deteriorate to the point of failure within three years from the time of purchase, depending on the use.
And he can affirm that the headphones are recyclable everything he wants (Apple affirms absolutely this, with their airpods), the truth is that many outbreaks will still end in the landfill, because people do not always recycle, and with such small components, it is. difficult To recycle each small component of a set of headphones. It can also become expensive, since it requires real human disassembly.
Ok, then Google has announced that its new Buds 2a from Pixel have a replaceable battery in the box, but it is the batteries of the outbreaks that tend to go first. And let’s not forget that this is a company that has made a huge and very touched promise to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. So this clip? It’s not a good look, Google.
I have been full -time audio writer since 2019, and I still have three cable IEM pairs of that first and glorious year when I decided that this was my future and my fort. How many pairs of wireless headphones do I still have and use from that moment, six years ago? I will give you an assumption.
