    There are headphones that use the USB port. Headphone jacks are kinda dead tech at this point.

        You can still buy DVD players, which means people still buy DVD players, but that doesn’t make it not dead tech

      Audio quality loss and latency are built into Bluetooth. Its only advantage is not having a wire.

          Oh, you mean USB headphones? TBH, way overly complex compared to analog with (albeit negligible) audio quality loss, which still works with legacy tech going back decades. It’s like arguing a bicycle is obsolete because motorcycles exist.

            If bicycles and motorcycles competed for the exact same role, with an opportunity cost allowing only one, how would bicycles not be obsolete?

                  You did, because you’re assuming that you can only choose one or the other. Even though it’s been demonstrated that the headphone jack does not require much space, can even be added to phones that don’t have it (check out Strange Parts on yt) and does not have any drawbacks.

                  That opportunity cost is not a thing.

                    If you can add it to a phone that doesn’t have it already, I’m not sure what the problem is, in your view.
