I used to agree; but I haven't had to deal with cord noise in the same amount of time as has passed since the headphone jack went away. Inexpensive Bluetooth earbuds are a dime a dozen now. Besides having to charge my earbuds in addition to my phone, I'm struggling to find the inconvenience here.

    For me personally, charging is the inconvenience. That and having to buy new earbuds over and over when I shouldn't have to.

    To each their own though

    Why are you buying new earbuds over and over when you shouldn't have to? I've got a pair of Skullcandy Dime 2's that cost around $25 and I've been using for at least four years now. My wired earbuds didn't last any longer, and it was usually the cord that would get messed up first.

    Maybe I'm just not finding the right brand, every Bluetooth earbud I've tried have been pretty lackluster. Either the sound isnt good, the batteries don't last or both. Haven't had good experiences with them thus far.

    Fair enough. If you can't get a phone with the aux jack, then I'd recommend the Anker Soundcore P31i. Got them for around $30 on sale. Comfortable, active noise cancelling, the battery in each bud can go all day, and the case has enough battery to keep recharging the buds for weeks. I've only plugged them in two or three times in the 6+ months I've had them.

    Same. I have some Anker model for 5 years now or maybe even longer. All of the previous wired earbuds (I even bought an expensive pair) didn't last this long. I use them regularly as well. Battery seems to last ok even now, enough for most tasks.
