It's not everyday that the manufacturer of a working product tells you "throw it in the trash". I wish someone would force them to make a recall instead.



Taking the piss, people paid $80 for these only 2 years ago. Make the waste of a PM that decided "it no longer aligned with the Spotify vision" tour the globe to personally pick up these things and hand people back their money.


You think a PM made this decision? Not at least someone at a VP or higher level?


Exactly, PM's kill features but they don't kill products.

This is a decision by the person who hires the PM. This is a VP/director-level decision.

It seems that they are refunding anyone who asks.

That is ridiculous. At least they're not forcing people to throw away batteries.
