Samsung earbuds 3 pro

A short note, pictures to follow.

My wife, bless her heart, has the habit of putting things down, like her phone and headset in whatever is nearby at the moment of crisis, and these seem to happen all the time.

So, she recently wanted to upgrade from the nice Plantronics unit to stereo earbuds. Now these can get lost quickly as now with both ears used, she would pull one out ALL the time (and yes she could turn on the ambient setting).

I found a very nice lanyard on Amazon for both, like a glasses keeper, and it fit well, and worked great.

BUT!! While it shows the charger in the same picture, you have to realize the Samsung charger fits the buds like a glove.

The slightly greater girth of the buds and worse, the "cord" of the lanyard interferes with the earbuds sitting "down" into the charging case, and they will not charge!

Solution was to grind the heck out of the case to enlarge the depression for the bud part, and then carve an "escape path" for the lanyard "cable".

Here's the 2 diamond grinding tools i used:

 The large one was used to expand the "bud" part of the charger, and the disk is used to cut the "escape route" for the lanyard.
