- acdha 6y agoI suspect this is right: protecting against that requires heavier construction which adds size, weight, and costs more in a field where all of those are highly competitive. I value the sound quality and reliably perfect latency of 3.5mm headphones but it’s really easy to see why industrial designers might make other choices.
