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

Capitalism also solves the phone jack problem, with the retail availability of USB-C to 3.5mm stereo adapters. Here's a Pixel OEM one for $8 on ebay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/276001290580

I never got rid of my wired headphones, all I had to do was plug their jack into the USB-C dongle and plug that into the phone.

I also have bluetooth earbuds but they don't sound as good as my wired ones, and I also use them less because of 3 other minor hassles: battery charging, my wife steals them, and my wife loses them. Wired ones have none of those issues.
