twins Jess and Eve Gale have been spotted on the streets of London, handing out free Airpods to lucky passers-by. This comes after a study revealed that a staggering 13 million sets of headphones have gone missing in the UK over the past five years. The reality TV stars, both 25, embarked on this mission to help busy city dwellers who've lost just one earbud, saving them from having to buy an entirely new set.
The twins, who shot to fame on the first winter season of ITV's hit show in South Africa, expressed their surprise at how many people lose just one earbud on the Tube, during a night out or even down the loo. They said: "I just can't believe how many people had lost just one on the Tube, on a night out, down the toilet it's crazy. People couldn't believe that they could get just one AirPod instead of buying a whole new set.
" Jess and Eve also highlighted the environmental benefits of their initiative, pointing out that buying a single replacement earphone rather than a full new set is "great for the planet" and prevents the waste of discarding a perfectly good earpiece. Their generous act follows the shocking findings of the study, which found that a whopping 32% of adults have misplaced their earphones in the past five years. A study conducted by YouGov on behalf of the refurbished tech marketplace, Back Market which sells individual AirPods to prevent the need for buying a complete new set when one is lost has revealed some interesting findings.
