We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

    I really can’t stand people that make this argument, I felt the same way at first, but then I actually started using Bluetooth headphones and they are frankly just better, in almost every way.

    And if you really want wired headphones still, you can just buy an inline adapter for like £2.

      Yeah, if you ignore the massive price difference and the fact that they need to be replaced periodically because rechargeable batteries usually only last a few years at most.

        The price difference isn’t really that big you can get a decent pair of anger earphones for £15 on amazon.

        Personally my wireless ones last several times longer than any wired headphones I’ve had, as the cable would eventually break and I would have to do the think where you wrap the cable a certain way or else one earbud wouldn’t work.

      Exactly. Get the adapter and don’t lose it. Now, if companies made it impossible to wire in audio, well that would be totally insane.

      Same.

      Was against them until forced to try them. Absolutely would not go back. Being made to charge them is a minor inconvenience in comparison to the many upsides that wireless brings.
