We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
Wow. Is this what the miserable void of personalities are circlejerking over now?
It's a lot to lose over the mere fact that the headphone jack cable got stuck on door handles and got ripped out of the ears. But I'll concede to that list of issues. I'm sick of several decades of spontaneous and violent loss of audio.
as companies make acting polite a cost i have, by not changing, become more rude
Sounded much better too
It amazes me how salty people are about this. I switched over to Bluetooth headphones. Battery life is amazing. No issues syncing. Quality is great. No 3rd party app needed. It's a nothing-burger.
Imagine something as stupid as this living rent free in someone's brain
It's great, but removing features since they're "obsolete" is stupid.
Only someone who never lived with corded headphones would claim they are superior.
It is not some big conspiracy.
Wired headphones have many pros, but also many cons. Wireless headphones have many pros, but also many cons. You can still buy wired headphones for modern phones using USB-C.
The vast majority of people literally don’t care or prefer having wireless air buds. The people who don’t, still can have wired ones.
The major distinction is that the headphone jack is large and not easily waterproofed. The trade off of having a sealed water tight phone at the cost of losing the headphone jack is worth it for the vast majority of people. It is worth it to me.
If you don’t like it, go buy a Zune.
