We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Guess I've just been lucky. I assume some people might also pull out the cable at the cord instead of at the base, I've seen that happening with charging cables sometimes.

At the moment I also have to use a little C to 3.5mm adapter and could maybe see that taking some damage but so far so good.

    I could see the (USB-?)C adapter taking the worst of the wear-and-tear, and maybe being more resilient than plugging the 3.5mm directly into the device. Imagine the travesty if it turned out that USB-C adapters turned out to be the solution to fragile headphones all along!
