>Many people -- I'm not claiming it's the majority -- disagree. Many people find headphone cables a big pain in the ass.
I agree completely - wireless headphones are amazing, I hate dealing with cables.
My first pair of bluetooth headphones were shit, and very difficult to switch devices, so I went back to wired. My second pair of bluetooth headphones (Bose QC something) are fantastic! Easily connect to multiple devices, easily switch between the devices. My third (AirPods) are similarly amazing, easy to switch devices, easy to pair.
I'm never buying a pair of wired headphones again.
- mjevans 9y agoThat's great for you. I still want cheep, easy to find, simple, reliable personal audio that doesn't depend on a low-noise RF environment. I still want to EASILY interface with /all/ of the current devices that accept standard electronic line-in signal. Sure, my use case is different than your's, but that port is still useful and it is a feature. Just make the battery a little thicker to keep things uniform and give us all a full 10 hours of watching videos on a plain / train / etc.
