5 years later... Did Apple fukk the game up by making headphone jacks extinct?

[Dorian Breh]

Seems like whatever retarded shyt Apple does, the industry invariably follows

- $1000+ phones, check
- No 3.5 jack, check
- No charging brick included in the box, check

So do brehs still reminisce about the convenience of that trusty headphone jack or nah?

When you’re the industry leader you can do whatever you want.

Can’t lie I haven’t missed the head phone jack at all. I could see why some would tho.

Be broke, brehs

They became obsolete when they came out with USB-C headphones that sounded 10x better. I don't why phones and laptops still have them.

Apple's air pod revenues alone generated $23.05 billion in revenue during their 2020 financial year – this is more revenue than Twitter, Spotify and Square combined.

I use airpods and have never missed wired headphones

 

[ItWasWritten]

I enjoy wired headphones still

If you've ever had a Mac and heard music through their jacks... such a pristine and clear sound

I haven't heard a wireless earbud or headphone that is as good as traditonal headphones

 

[Deafheaven]

Naw tbh. I was super against it but you can still get high quality cans that are wireless. My sonys have held me down nicely

 

[StatUS]

3.5mm is still gonna be better than anything wireless or USB if you have decent cans. Wireless has it's place for convenience but let's not kid ourselves here about quality.

My A52 has it but I don't use it
I got too much bluetooth arriving week in and week out.

Just use this if you need a headphone jack. It's like $11 or so.

I look down on folks when I see wires hanging from their ears

I hate wireless headphones but they are standard now. I still use my phone with the headphone jack.
