What’s the point of having a 3.5 mm Jack when you have LDAC codec for hi res audio over bluetooth?
I could list dozens of reasons but at the end of the day it comes down to having the option and making the choice, instead of having it made by some company. And as someone who repairs their own phones, 3.5mm jacks really don’t take a lot of space. It’s definitely not enough to make a substantial improvement to battery size. You question the point of having them, I question the point of removing them when they were (and still are) a universal standard with not many downsides.
some of us prefer legacy cans.
Also the low end of wired is cheaper and sounds better than the low end of wireless.
Yay ChiFi
ChiFi is amazing for the cost most of the time. For me though, having to carry extra things for the wireless options just makes it more inconvenient as well as remembering to recharge. And dongles just end up constantly unplugging with regular movement. I miss headphone jacks. Such a crap move.
I always prefer wired in most circumstamces; wired earphones, Xbox controllers, printers, etc. I just want something to be the exact same every time I use it so my life is similar. I don’t want to worry about swapping out batteries, or recharging and then then the battery eventually dying. It’s just one extra thing that you have to worry about.
Not to say the newer specs of Bluetooth aren’t great because it has come a long way. And I do have an 1st MX Masters mouse that I love. Idk I just generally prefer consistency and reliability over the ergonomic and mobility advantages. Everyone is different I guess
