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
Cords breaking and my earbuds stopping working was always a problem not to mention the other issues.
I went to wireless and even if every phone had a jack, I’d be buying wireless. I’ve spent only the initial cost of my earbuds vs buying new wired ones at least once a year.
I’d just be happiest if there was a choice. I’ve tried wireless and I prefer wired.
I like to switch between the two, and having the options is the best of both worlds.
If I want nice audio, or my headphone batteries are dead, then I can just plug them in, but if I’m catching the train, I can just use Bluetooth instead.
And not having to use a dongle means that I can also my phone while listening to something.
