Logitech MX Products are incompatible with AirPods

Living in a country where ground wires are not installed as standard, oh you are so wrong. Anything that has a wall plug carries crazy levels of background hum to any audio equipment I plug into it. I'm sure there is something I could buy to fix that (I can't fix the electrics though as I'm renting).

On the other hand, instead of doing loads of research and buying new equipment, I can just connect my headphones or speakers by Bluetooth and the noise is gone.

Now I have to deal with the annoyances of Bluetooth which are not zero either. But it's a great tradeoff for me.

I have a pair of wireless RF headphones. They’re awesome - the base connects via optical, so no interference of any sort, the signal range is fantastic, the lag is minuscule, the pairing with the base is always automatic and perfect, and they take rechargeable AAA batteries that can recharge within the headphones when they’re on the base, or can be easily replaced.

That's cool, I'll take a look for these next time I'm headphone shopping.

I've lived in a country without ground wires (japan), and used desktop speakers and headphones without issue.

I'm in Vietnam. Possibly it's something else with the power grid causing interference? Any device with metal sides (like a mac laptop) also constantly gives tiny electric shocks to people.

Buy a 1:1 transformer. Plug it into the wall, and plug in a power strip at the other end.

Thanks for the suggestion, I had not heard of this before.
