The review is a bit late, but it’s fairly detailed and informative.

    I was also outraged when the audio jack disappeared from phones but now that they have quality wireless earbuds I really can’t imagine going back to a wired headphone. The very last time I used a wired headphone I got it snagged on a cabinet pull and they painfully ripped from my ears. Never again. And even if you wanted wired, usb-c dongles are dirt cheap.

    I can no longer understand the argument for an audio jack at this stage.

      Primarily, wired headphones tend to be less disposable. Don’t require batteries too.

      I had to get wireless earbuds too, since my company requires me to use a device of their choosing, but we’re talking personal preference here.

      Sure, wireless BT has come a long way, no argument there, and it’s not like I listen to FLACs on the go.

      The thing with dongles is that they look fragile AF.

      And I find it hard to justify the unnecessary use of batteries, it’s just something else for me to forget, and also somewhat raises some environmental concerns… idk

      But that’s only my POV on the matter, not a hard stance or anything
