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

    I agree on the tethering aspect, but active noise cancelling is (in my opinion) worse than just having closed back headphones that just naturally don’t let sound in. many android variants have built in eq support, and the apps that bluetooth headphones use don’t work on desktop/laptop devices, making the features worse than useless.

      The noise cancelling feature on every wireless headphones I’ve ever tried gives me the same inner ear/sinus feeling as being in a plane at altitude. I hate it…
      My phone has no headphone socket, and I refuse to use one of those usb-c to 3.5mm adapters, might just be psychosomatic but I feel like the audio quality on those is also garbage.
