A case a portable listening device. The case includes a housing having an interior space to receive the portable listening device; a lid attached to the housing; a rechargeable battery and first and second wireless power receiving elements configured to receive electric charge from a wireless power transmitter during a charging event. The case further includes switching circuitry that is configured to disable one of the first or second wireless power receiving elements during a charging event when the disabled element is receiving power less efficiently than the other element.

A foldable straw includes a first segment, a second segment, and an intermediate segment. The first segment includes an elongated length and a cavity extending through the elongated length and has a first durometer value. The second segment includes an elongated length and a cavity extending therethrough and has a second durometer value. The intermediate segment is operably coupled with and positioned between the first segment and the second segment and includes an elongated length and a cavity extending therethrough and has an intermediate segment durometer value. The intermediate segment durometer value is less than the first durometer value and the second durometer value such that the collapsible straw is foldable within the intermediate segment.
