like surely you can come up with a name that isnt a series of cryptic letters and numbers

@pup_hime are the numbers at least systematic, or is it impossible to tell what any of them mean?
-F

@Felthry i'm sure they're systematic somehow but i've never been able to figure out what they mean

@pup_hime that's the worst kind

sometimes a company is open about their part numbering system and it's kinda nice, like even if it doesn't make sense why it's this particular number at least there's an easily findable document that says having a 2 in this location means it has this feature or something

but other companies just have random numbers with no information on what they mean at all
-F

@Felthry @pup_hime W stands for wireless, F for true wireless earbuds, 1000XM somewhere encodes that they have noise cancelling and 3 is the generation

@Felthry @pup_hime "true wireless" means both earbuds are independent, instead of connected by a wire (but not to the phone)

@pup_hime @Felthry I only know that because I have the WH1000XM-3 (the wireless headphones) and there's an XM-4 version of those
