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
While the major issue with wireless earbuds is that they could easily be lost, I'd prefer that over the old wired earphones which gets tangled up or yanked accidentally. If you also buy good quality wireless earphones, you would never lose sound on either left or right earpiece, unlike with the wired ones which often happens no matter the quality. But I still keep my wired earphones as a backups in case I lose my more precious wireless earphones or breaks.
This. Baught a phone with jack, but exclusively use wireless. Kept my wired headphones as backup and for in planes.
Most planes allow Bluetooth
I have yet to take a flight where my Bluetooth earbuds will connect to the screen built into the seat in front of me.
Fair, I never use those kinds of things

Wired earphones are bound to more mechanical failures because they are susceptible to being tangled and yanked than wireless ones lol. I will pick wireless earphones any day.
It's really easy to turn a pair of wireless earbuds into wired earbuds with some hot glue and a piece of string.
How do you lose sound in one ear with a wired connection? Haven't heard of that problem before. At least, not the jack being the problem.
