I prefer wired devices for:
1. Lack of latency
2. Lack of unreliable and dodgy bluetooth
3. No need to charge battery
4. Ubiquity (my 3.5mm audiophile headphones plug into about every device I own except my phone)
5. Wired headphones/earbuds have a better audio quality for the price compared to wireless alternatives, and are cheaper to replace.
6. My car (a Civic from the mid 2000s) only has an AUX output, which I prefer anyway because it's simpler to unplug/plug into my phone or a passengers phone rather than fiddling with Bluetooth settings
I carry around a USB-C dongle with me in my backpack as well as in my car, but I would prefer not to.
- CameronNemo 4y agoRegarding 6, plugging an aux cable into a car also doesn't encourage me to leak my contact database and call history from my phone.
- thefz 4y agoAgree with all of the above. 3.5mm has been a widely adopted standard for what, 30 years?
