Anyone who owns wireless earbuds like the Apple AirPods is also afraid of losing them.
Blame it on the Airpods’s ability to drop out of the ears at any point of time despite promises of snug fits.
Japanese people were finding the lost earbuds to be quite a huge problem. As per a report, almost 850 cases of earbuds lost were in the Tokyo area alone between July to September this year. Thus, they came up with an innovative idea.
East Japan Railway Co, or JR East, has partnered with Panasonic to design a vacuum cleaner-type device that can search and pick up these dropped earphones.
The new vacuum cleaner-type device is being tested at the Ikebukuro station and it certainly more effective than any other tool.
