Sidebar, but I care about the headphone jack issue and am still annoyed by it.
Bluetooth headphones just aren't very good, and we've all gotten in the habit of buying a new pair every few years because they either break, get lost, are unsupported, or have bad batteries.
I previously had the same pair of IEMs for almost a decade that had better sound quality, replaceable cables and eartips, and didn't ever run out of battery. Never did I complain about the cables being annoying or in the way, and never did I complain about the presence of the headphone jack, or the Bluetooth chip onboard.
Removing headphone jacks was a horrible misstep in my opinion and we're stuck with the path dependency it's created now. It's probably not long before we have laptops that omit 3.5mm audio jacks as well.

- kroltan 4y agoUSB-C is a waaaaay less stable connection than Micro-B or even a headphone jack. Having a phone in your pocket with an USB-C to P2 adapter is asking to have your sound stop every 5 minutes of walking.
