After
Apple launched its first-ever AirPods in 2016, the tech industry witnessed a shift from wired earphones to wireless earbuds. The wireless audio products dominated the market because of their sleek design and undeniable convenience. In a surprising turn of events, Gen Z has managed to revive the love for the wired earphones, as the device does not have any battery charging features, and it is just simple to plug and use.
