    I mean, I can count how many times I’ve thought “damn I wish I still had wired headphones” on zero hands.

      My complaint has always been that the stupid things need to endlessly be recharged.

      I’ve got some AirPod Pros and they’re great… for about 4 hours.

      Then you’re stopping what you’re doing, recharging for half an hour, and then you’re good for uh, another 3 hours because that wasn’t a full charge.

      And after the 2nd or 3rd time you’ve done that, your case is dead and you get to throw everything on a charger for a couple of hours.

      Ooooooooor I can put in my wired headphones, and not give a shit about any of that, because that’s not how those work at all.

      I suppose most people don’t spend most of their day listening to podcasts and audiobooks and thus 4 hours is fine, but good lord is it annoying as crap.

        You have airpod pros but spending $5 USB-Aux adapter is where you draw the line?

          But then you always need that adapter with you and you can’t charge at the same time

        FYI “to each their own” was a phrase used on the entrance of a nazi concentration camp, same as “work sets you free”. Might wanna avoid that phrase in the future

          Makes no sense. Using a commonly used phrase has nothing to do with Nazis in almost any context despite the origin. No need to start making a list of things to change because of an old connection to something bad.

      I’ve never really understood the argument against headphone jacks. I can still use Bluetooth headphones with my phone. I can also use wired headphones and aux cables on my phone. Why would you want less features

        I’d be fine if they gave us another USB C port, but inability to listen and charge the phone at the same time without using Bluetooth (which also needs to be charged) grinds my gears.

          You can get a dongle that lets you charge and plug in headphones at the same time.
