This goes for all companies, but I’m tired of every product shipping with a USB cable. I have plenty already, it’s wasteful to keep shipping more. Further, can we all migrate to USB C, that’ll further reduce the need to include a different kind of cable with each electronic device.
- kalleboo 8y agoI still get exasperated when I see a brand new product ship with miniUSB. I'm afraid we'll never get rid of these legacy ports.
- prolikewh0a 8y agoJust got ATH-m50xBT headphones, brand new as of last week, comes with a MicroUSB. WTF Audio Technica!
- iamdave 8y agoI'll raise you. I once Bought a new set of headphones that came with miniUSB that plugs into a volume knob which itself plugs into my desktop via USB 2. It also came with a miniUSB to 3.5mm adapter. Just this morning I was pulling them out of my backpack getting off the train and noticed for the first time (I've had these headphones a year) there's a discreet 3.5mm headphone jack. You know what didn't come in the box? A 3.5mm headphone cable. Which means if I want to plug this thing into an old iPod or my docking station at work, I'd need to bring a miniUSB cable and an adapter. Or just go buy my own 3.5mm cable. Very interesting design choices if you ask me.
- gandalfian 8y agoOh I don't know. Whenever a charging cable wears out it's quite handy to rummage in a retained product box and find a neatly packaged new one. I always find myself short of usb charger plugs too.
