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

And they also got tangled easy, caught on things, and winding them up to put them away was annoying.

I don't think I've ever used the headphone jack on the phone I currently have. I do still use wired phones at my computer though.

I don’t lose my headphones, and they don’t lose connection. Maybe OP shouldn’t use $5 earbuds from aliexpress. As for charging, what’s the problem? It’s not like you have to ride a bicycle to generate electricity, all you have to do is put them in a box.

Wired headphones were a pain in the ass to wear with anything other than a t-shirt, and the wires always got tangled by invisible gnomes in your pocket.

I use wireless headphones even though my phone has the jack connector.

On the plus side it doesn't get in the way, doesn't have a potential of breaking and Carrying around as well as looking a fuck lot more stylish. Audio quality is also great nowadays, check out the tests.

Yes, but they would break because the cable frayed, and you would randomly get yanked when they got caught in something. Also, they were hellish to detangle.

All you need is a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter, folks.

Apple sells one for just $9 that has a top notch DAC, in case that's a selling point for you audiophiles.

Trying to replace my Sony Extra Bass wireless and all they sell now are Ear Buds with no wired connection. I'm steps away from buying a giant headphone (big ear muffs) and walking around in the streets with it, I've had it.
