Alternatively, if your current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

Your bad purchase does not reflect the entire category.

And neither does gone one good purchase reflect upon the entire category.

But you simply refuse to accept that, citing a different brand?

The fact that lithium-ion batteries aren't good after 3 years is well established, there are many articles on this from reputed sources. It's not something I made up.

I tell you how. And you refuse it.

I'm not refusing it, it's merely not an option for me, given where I live.

If wireless are so generally bad as you think. Why do everyone use them?

They don't actually. Check my poll results, check any other polls - you'll see that majority of the users still prefer wired.

You citing apple airpods is irrelevant

It's not, because they have the majority of the market share, and are therefore representative of the market, and their battery life is well documented. Your experience with Jabra is anecdotal with nothing to back it up. Therefore, your single good experience with Jabars is just as meaningless as my single bad experience with Sony.

you’ll see that majority of the users still prefer wired.

Do I now? Because whenever I'm outside. I see people with wireless earbuds. I see wireless headphones. But you know what I almost never see? Wired headphones.

The fact that lithium-ion batteries aren’t good after 3 years is well established, there are many articles on this from reputed sources. It’s not something I made up.

The fact my jabras have more than enough battery for that to not be noticeable after 7 years makes it irrelevant.

And yes, you citing apple IS irrelevant because you're doing it as a response to my success with Jabra earbuds. You're using them as some kind of argument against why me having good products that are working well doesn't actually matter.

With your logic. Wired headphones suck because the 30 dollar pair I bought once were really bad. So therefore they're all bad, and any good wired headphone you can mention. Is just an outliner that doesn't reflect wired headphones as a whole. Because the majority of wired headphones are cheap garbage.

I'm sorry, that I have really good Bluetooth wireless headphones and earbuds. It must truly shatter your world since you try to put so much effort into discrediting me for telling you they exist.

If you want good wireless products, that doesn't have the problems you've mentioned. They exist. You can buy them.

If you want earbuds that last for more than 3 years. Don't buy apple.

I know your argument are shit, Because I'm sitting on the actual evidence and proof that your descriptions are not accurate. I'm telling you they work. And your response is "but these other things didn't work!" So? Don't get those other things then.

There are millions of bad wired headphones. But I assume, you don't buy those. You buy the good ones. Apply the same logic to wireless. And you won't have the problems mentioned.

Please wash off your makeup. White and red is not a good look on anyone.

Again, that's just anecdotal. Show me an actual survey or some real statistics which says that users prefer wired over wireless.

The fact my jabras have more than enough battery for that to not be noticeable after 7 years makes it irrelevant.

The fact that you don't have any evidence to show it is irrelevant.

apple IS irrelevant because you're doing it as a response to my success with Jabra earbuds.

It isn't, because Apple earbuds are a market leader and their battery life is well documented. Show me some evidence that Jabra earbuds are good even after 7 years, and I'll accept it as relevant.

Wired headphones suck because the 30 dollar pair I bought once were really bad. So therefore they're all bad, and any good wired headphone you can mention.

If that's your logic then by my logic all wireless headphones are bad because of my experience.

Is just an outliner that doesn't reflect wired headphones as a whole

So is your experience with Jabra.

It must truly shatter your world since you try to put so much effort into discrediting me for telling you they exist.

Actually it doesn't, because you haven't provided any evidence. A claim of a 7 year battery life on a frequently used lithium-ion battery in a device such as a headset, when the industry average is 2-3 years, is utterly ridiculous and unbelievable.
