But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

I’d rather they just give me a headphone jack tbh
I’m right there with ya. I know many people prefer wireless earbuds, but I like ripping cables out of my ears at random. Makes me feel alive.
This. I hate to charge my headphones everyday
Love my pixel buds. I take them on airplanes, I clean the house with them, I take phone calls with them, and not once have I swung my hand and yanked my phone out of my hand causing it to crash to the ground. Not once have I had a damaged cable that forces one bud to cut in and out. They work great.
Charging is not a big deal. I honestly use them hours at a time throughout the day and since the case charges them, when I stop using them for a bit they are topped up. I probably legit throw them on the wireless charge pad once or twice a week, and never out of necessity where they’re “dead”.
I think it should always be an option to have the jack but I personally prefer wireless.
My sony ones survive more than a week.
that isn’t the typical experience though, and letting your batteries drain completely is bad for them. also if you don’t have some sort of routine, a lot of people (myself included) end up forgetting to charge them and end up with no working headphones until they can charge them again, which is pretty annoying.
Yes, I get it. I would still use wired headphones, but I got bluetooth ones as a gift. And to add to your critisism, batteries die and you have to replace them around every 10 years.
I haven’t had wired headphones last me more than a year. One bad snag on a cable any they’re done. 10 years is a long time.
Well i didn’t mean the headphones, I meant the batteries.
My Momentum 4s have 60 hours of battery life…

I use my AirPods daily for 5-6 hours and still only have to charge for 20 minutes once a week. It’s really not that big of an issue
Am I the only one that can’t stand the few hundred millisecond delay of Bluetooth audio?
I have come to love my bluetooth earbuds… but darn when im in the car i just wanna plug my phone in some times.
Mine just auto connects and I’m playing with Bluetooth
Yea, a portion of my problem is the bad implementation of Bluetooth in my 2013 Subaru Impreza.
It just wouldn’t support Bluetooth reconnects.
But in the end, if a friend is in the car nothing is quicker and easier than just plugging them in.
My vehicle is from 2000 and I installed an after market Sony in it in 2010. Been using it ever since. But this was back when the system wasn’t so uniquely integrated into vehicles. It’s not really even an option in many these days.
Yea, mine has a swappable front end, but just downs seem worth it.
Ended up getting a Bluetooth adapter from Ali which works well.
fuck wireless headphones! I don’t want to remember charging another god damn thing to start with.
