How about they add a 3.5mm audio jack? That’d be a killer feature!
as an android user with 3.5mm jack since always in all of the phones I have had, I didn’t use it once since like 2017
I have a collection of wired headphones. I did use it, when phones had it.
Now it’s dongle life.
I mean… if you look beyond Apple then there’s loads of 3.5mm-ready phones available
As an Android user. People I think forget how much headphones with cords sucked to.
Skull candies were expensive, broke, and sounded like shit.
Did no one else have headphones get yanked out of your heads bent and worn out. Cords get frayed, have them get lost or stolen. It was also just nother tangled cord that I had do deal with.
I might be a rarity here and you are entitled to feel how you feel but God I look back and think about how badly I fucking don’t miss the headphones jack and all the shitty headphones brands trying to make a buck.
There are cheap and affordable shitty sounding Bluetooth earbuds and good ones these days at an affordable cost now. Just. Move. On.
I use wired headphones every day!
The only reason I use wired headphones is my company doesn’t see the problem with providing a Windows specific Bluetooth headset to my Mac
Yep, exactly. When people hate on TWS earphones they usually only have experience with ridiculously expensive Airpods or these bulky airpods clones from AliExpress, while there are in facts lots and lots of affordable and great-sounding alternatives from brands such as Sony, Xiaomi, or Haylou; the last one being my choice
The only thing I have against wireless stuff is the battery. The batteries aren’t easily replaced and it’s often the death of the headphone when the battery no longer holds charge.
It means I don’t want to spend much on wireless cans because I know they will die.
Do you own a wired earphone?
I do have a pair of wired headphones I use with my laptop and probably could find a pair or two of earphones I used pre-2017; what’s your point?
Isn’t it obvious? I thought you didn’t have a pair of those, which would explain why you didn’t use the jack on your phone.
Any particular reason you use your earphones only with your laptop?
No, I use my laptop stationarily so the cord never bothered me, unlike when using wired earphones on the go with my smartphone
Ah, that makes sense. I loved my wired pair because I sometimes forgot to keep my wireless charged, and they had a tendency to be low on charge when I needed to be on important calls. They were my backups and the audio quality was also pretty good.
My current pair of wireless, that I use when exercising, has also stopped turning ON for reasons I don’t follow, so I’m understandably miffed at having to listen to ambient noise during exercise.
It seems to me that we’ll continue to have these issues as long as we have non-removable-battery earphones, since many of the issues come from having an independant power supply and firmware components.
There was always a Lightning to headphone adapter if you really wanted it but most of us had given up the headphone jack long before Apple stopped providing it
I don’t object to them as an optional feature, but they are about as useful as optical drives to the typical user.
Based
Why not bring black floppy drives too while they’re at it?
Hell yeah!
