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
It just seems like cables bother you more than me. But I also don't live in a city with a lot of walkability or good public transit. I would use wired headphones on my college campus, when I was done with them, I'd wrap them around my phone, unplug them and then slide the coiled wire loop off my phone and put them in my pocket. I also don't care if the wires are out while my phone is in my pocket and my headphones are in. I've never run the wires through my shirt.
I used to run in highschool, and I just got used to holding my phone while I ran with headphones in. Idk man, maybe I'm just old lol.
And they do, yea. I’m just saying that I won’t try to tell you what you find important or should care about and we should acknowledge that most people want wireless. There’s still a big market for wired headphones and there’s always value in that having that cheap spare pair or two even for people who prefer wireless.
Anyway I hope I didn’t come off as trying to shame you out of your preference. My only goal was to show the other side of the coin.
