People lose phones more often, huge source of e-waste that we should ban first. In fact most people wouldn't even have a reason to buy the earbuds if they didn't have a phone in the first place.
something tells me they don't just evaporate, never to be used used again, but resold.
hard to resell a single earbud.
You would be surprised how many go unfound until damaged. Let's just ban it all, better to be safe than sorry. Plus it would really help with your ear bud ban.
