    THE PERSON THAT DOWNVOTED THIS DESERVES THEIR AIRPODS TO RUN OUT OF BATTERY DURING A 12 HOUR FLIGHT SITTING NEXT TO A CHILD AND THEIR CHATTY NO-VAX-MAKING-MY-OWN-BREAD-LOOK-AT-THE-PICTURES-OF-MY-C-SECTION-DELIVERY MOTHER

    I'm with you. I still use my 3.5mm jack daily. I've got some cheap PC stereo speakers next to my bed, so I can listen to stuff to fall asleep to. They suck for music, but are just fine for audiobooks for instance.

    I gotta say, I love my AirBuds sooooo much. I only use my nice cans on my computer anymore.

    That’s a different use case though. Falling asleep with cheap speakers is a much better idea than big speakers… My partner and I leave shows or long VODs on to sleep, and even with the bass all the way down, sometimes I feel like it’s a bit distracting.

    You’re onto something—I should snag us a pair of 2.0 speakers and just switch to those for sleep. Then we wouldn’t have to adjust the sub all the time.

    I'd be fine with the lack of the port if they at least gave us 2 USB-C ports so I could charge and listen without a splitter.

    I'm surprised their isn't a phone case with a built in DAC and 3.5 tbh.

    Why would you not use a usb-c headset?

    Because 3.5mm is an already existent audio standard that is not only for cell phones but for sound instruments in general, because all my earphones and earbuds are 3.5mm and because I'd like to listen to music while the phone is plugged in and charging

    When you land in your 30's the warm feeling that makes you crave for a better world becomes a seething anger towards those who make this world harder to realize.
    And you either take it out on strangers on the internet or become Ted Kaczynski

    It takes 5 minutes at most to get another hour of playback from my headset. You do not need a headphone jack in this day an age, and I say this as an avid music listener. Also ANC won't work if your battery is dead most of the time, so having a wired option is not that useful for your flight

    IT TAKES 0 SECONDS TO HAVE ∞ HOURS OF PLAYBACK FOR MY HEADSET.
    Talking seriously, I really hate that everything in this day and age has to come with a battery: it's a useless waste of resources.
    When you buy a good set of cabled earphones it will be good for life (I used my AudioTechnica M50 for more than 10 years and only had to change the cable once), wireless you'll have to throw them away when the batteries will eventually die (in 3 years on average).
    E-waste is a serious issue, if you want to go green, go cable <3

    Okay so I go running quite often, no phone on me, just my watch (which is on my wrist) and my AirPods.

    How does your setup work in my regard? Because I genuinely don’t see a way to go cabled for it without changing how I do things, and having a cable running to my watch is just stupid.

    (I do use wired headphones whenever I’m at home because we all know it’s better at a fundamental level) but let’s be honest AirPods have their place.

    Dude...

    1. Never said that bluetooth buds/earphones should be dismantled, please abandon this "if you have an argument for your thing it means you're against my thing" mindset, it makes you sound dumb and you are not;
    2. Back in the 90's joggers would run with huge-ass cassette walkmans powered by 4x AA batteries strapped on their shorts and hardly anyone popped an hernia or got strangled by the earphones: while we had great achievements in terms of electronics wearability, don't let comfort be your cage.

    Yeah I realize my comment came off as argumentative and isn’t really how I meant it, I more so meant I can’t see a way for me to use a wired set without changing how comfortable my run currently is. (Again, I do PREFER wired for home use etc, but on the go I just can’t use anything but my AirPods for comfort). I think it’s also an ease of use thing for me too, as I LOVE that I can go for that run, come home, take a shower WITH THEM, to rinse off, then sit down with my steam deck and they are already connected without me doing a thing. I think I’m just spoiled by the ease of use the more I type about this honestly.

    If you find yourself having a good run with them, have at it, don't let anyone yuck your yum.
    I just want to be given the possibility of making the choice I think it's best for my use cases

    I do think adapters are not a terrible option as people make them out to be, as an Apple user I just would be happy with usbc wired headphones…. Once the eu finally forced Apple to make the iPhone use usb c. It’s literally the only device I have that doesn’t use it. And I hate lightening so much I just use MagSafe to charge in my vehicle and by my bed and that’s it. I refuse to carry another cable.

    while they're better than having nothing at all, I don't think they're a good solution: if you connect a dongle every day to your phone you're putting a lot of strain on a USB-C port, making it wear a lot faster than usual. It happened to me with my last cell phone, in a little more than one year it couldn't hold the charging cable properly anymore and I was forced to change it. If you use it extensively like I did, bluetooth earphones might be a better choice

    I don't think anyone's claiming that wireless headphones do not have their place, instead that there's no reason not to have the option to use wired headphones on a phone because they're much more reliable and durable than wireless.

    Yes. Also I need a SCSI connector. Do that obsolete piece of shit as well.

    Also a legacy 25 pin serial port, you never know when it’d come in handy

    You mean parralel port right? I need to be able to drive 8 LEDs without any additional drivers.

    I mean we can have both serial and parallel interfaces. Also two ps/2 ports because I want to be able to plug both a mouse and a keyboard.

    And a dedicated true ADC game port. This shit was lit.

    The number of times and situation I've wished I had wired earbuds. And this is someone who generally uses wireless headphones. The fact that they removed it in the first place is bs
