wireless headphones do not cost several hundred dollars. i got a sick pair for like $60 and there are definitely multiple levels of less nice, less expensive ones

The majority of new phones unfortunately don't have a headphone jack these days. I still come down on the side of "not on the bus please" but cheap wired phones aren't an option for many (most?) people.

The most popular and most heavily marketed ones do. Either way, sixty bucks is still a lot and those cheapo ones are still way more expensive than a free pack-in.

And they're easily lost or damaged as well. If a headphone slips, the wire catches it. If a wireless bud slips, it's falling on the ground, and hopefully not into a puddle or a grate.
