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
Convenience. No more rubbing noise from a cable. No more struggle with cable at desk.
My buds last for a few hours on one charge. I have two pairs.
Since I don't listen to music and thus sound quality is not important to me, I prefer wireless buds while working and at gym, but while at home on my computer I use wired over-ear headphones.
Nevertheless I refuse to buy a device without a headphone jack out of principle. If everyone who complained about Apple removing it would've stuck to their guns and refused to buy such device, there's a chance they, or atleast the competition would've decided to not follow along. Instead, consumers just went along with it showing the manufacturers that it's okay to charge more money for less features, and here we are. Not me though. My next phone will have a headphone jack as well.
I do still like my Bluetooth earbuds, I can instantly connect them to my TV and not disturb anyone else at 3am
Had horrible audio quality both inherently and due to the constant cable dangling noise, didn't stay in the ear due to the cables' weight pulling them down, didn't last long due to the cables getting tangled while carrying, you couldn't wear in bed or during sports or with large coats due to the cables, you couldn't move away from your phone due to the cable length or if you forgot they yanked your phone off the table..
And the cords break every 3 days and eventually the port gets fucked.
Having said that - I LOVE having a headphone jack.
