yeah sure not having a wire is nice, but two generations of earbuds from my phones own manufacturer and both pairs i get regularly dogshit audio quality, and half the time one of the buds doesn’t even work or produces barely any audio. There is no way to remedy this even after resetting the buds and the bluetooth connection. and you have to shell out 3x as much money for these things. also it’s yet another device whose charge you have to keep track of
The removal of headphone jacks from phones was bad, and was definitely motivated by capitalist desire to sell wireless headphones.
But
One wireless earbud in is by far my favorite way to listen to things and even though I have an old phone that still has a headphone jack I haven’t used wired headphones in literal years.
