Call me oldschool, but my headphones that work with everything else, should work fine for my phone. I will continue to vote with my dollar and only buy phones with 1. Removable battery 2. Removable storage 3. Headphone plug.
Don't think me some luddite, I love my wireless buds when working out, or riding a bike. But when I want it to 'just work', no drivers, no batteries, no formats, just a plug and good sound. It seems steange to me, as apple used to be known for its quality D/A converters, and they are cheaper than ever now.
- userbinator 9y agoReplacing simple, robust and inexpensive technology with complex, fragile, and relatively more expensive electronics seems to be the "modern" trend these days, and I am also opposed to it. Wireless certainly has its advantages but I am unconvinced that it should be the only way to connect headphones or other things "going forward". But given the economic incentives, it's not surprising why things are moving in that direction.
