I replied to “your other comment”.

I meant the one made elsewhere in this thread where I explain why I don't think it's a shit argument. I think the wireless is a legitimate upgrade over wired when we're talking about a mobile phone.

The fidelity is one of many many pros we have listed
I don’t understand what this has to do with anything.

I'm trying to point out that your "pro" of better fidelity doesn't mean anything in a space where people aren't using a lossless format, and so aren't taking advantage of that extra fidelity anyway. This is admittedly an area I'm not strong in, so I could well be wrong, but I don't think there's any difference between wired and wireless when the source is Spotify.

you don’t have to choose.

Alright, this is fair. It would be great to keep the option for both. However, I don't think it's fair to knock Fairphone for not offering this option though, particularly because it takes space on the pcb and is an extra component cost (yes, a small one, I admit)

People are calling it a money grab move to not include a headphone jack, and I just don't think that's fair.

it would be a shit argument

This is fundamentally where we disagree. See my other comment

That is a pro, not a con

Never said it was a con, nor did I mean to imply that jacks are obsolete overall, only that it's a valid move to not include them on a device that is primarily used to stream audio and thus doesn't need the extra fidelity. Unless you want to try and tell me that Joe Public should be lugging around gigabytes of flac files?

lick Tim Cook’s boots

Lol, personally I prefer the taste of Han Jong-hee or Kenichiro Yoshida's boots

jack comes with none.

Respectfully, this is rose tinted glasses talking. Do you know what my wireless buds workflow is?

  1. Open case
  2. Insert buds into ears and wait for "Bluetooth connected"
  3. Tap left bud
  4. Music plays.

Compare that to

  1. Pull out buds
  2. Untangle cord
  3. Pull out phone
  4. Fumble jack into the microphone hole for 2 minutes
  5. Look at device, and insert jack into correct hole.
  6. Unlock phone
  7. Open music app of choice
  8. Hit play
  9. Music plays

With wireless buds, I don't even have to know exactly where my phone is. To say nothing of having to carry it around with me which, if you're doing housework, or a workout can be a pain.

Also, anyone who's ever had buds forcibly ripped from their ears because they've dropped their phone will tell you:

Wired buds ALSO have drawbacks

Is this a fair argument in 2023 with all the options for wireless headphones/buds? I feel like it still sucks because you can't use your dollar store wired sets, but there are enough cheap raycon clones out now that it's hardly a guaranteed secondary sale at this point.

Lol, I meant another month before I can get tested. I was back at it the next day.

I think my experience was pretty non typical, but ye, I did NOT have a good time.

Long story short, there was student in the room, so instead of just getting it over with as quickly as possible, my guy was EXCRUCIATINGLY slow to numb me, and not before he'd shown her how to enter the fucking konami code into my nutsack. At one point I actually sat up and asked just what the fuck he was doing, because I was in so much discomfort. It probably lasted 15 - 20 minutes total, but it felt like eternity.

Other than that, it was fine though. Felt like I'd been kicked in the nuts for a few days afterwards, but then it was all good. Still got a month to go before I get the all clear though.

Interesting. Did you have a laser or a scalpel? I had mine last month, and haven't noticed any difference at all.
