    Wow. And I thought I had seen bad design before. It’s rare to have a wireless device that is entirely disabled when charging.

      It’s so people don’t just leave the cable in so it always looks clean and slick.

      …fucking hell

      I know plenty of headphones that can’t be used while charging, but that’s often because it would be inconvenient to use simultaneously

        That was one of the main reasons why I sold my Sony headphones and replaced them with Airpods Max. Charging the headphones while in use isn’t really any more inconvenient than using wired headphones would be.

          My Sonys can’t be used with Bluetooth when charging but you can use 3.5 mm audio input so they act like wired when charging. Probably because they’re using a fairly standard Bluetooth chipset which also controls charging

      To be fair, I charge my Magic Mouse once a month and it takes less than an hour. Throwing it on the charger overnight when I leave for the work day isn’t a huge deal.
