Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?
Nobody wants to buy and carry around crappy dongles which get lost. Plus the usb c sound of not any better, in some cases it’s worse, especially on a cheap dongle. So now I’m expected to buy expensive dongles to be sure they work, on top of the price of the phone, as well as a phone charger because they don’t include that either, when the 3.5mm jack gives me 100% quality audio experience?
No thanks. I’ll keep buying phones with headphone jacks.
3 times a week I go for dialysis and I can either take Bluetooth headphones or wired. I tried the Bluetooth to see what it was like and its just clunky. It’s bulky and akward to use one handed plus once the Bluetooth in ear bud fell on the floor. I can’t get up at all during the session so it had to stay there until I was finished
Whereas I now take my cheap(€10) Sony wired in ear headphones and they are far smaller in my pocket, easy to use, the bud didn’t fall out of my ear because it’s smaller (no circuitry and battery) and when if it fell out it wouldn’t fall on the floor because it’s attached to a wire. Plus I’m not isn’t extra battery power on my phone while listening whereas Bluetooth will drain my phone battery.
