I still get exasperated when I see a brand new product ship with miniUSB. I'm afraid we'll never get rid of these legacy ports.
Just this morning I was pulling them out of my backpack getting off the train and noticed for the first time (I've had these headphones a year) there's a discreet 3.5mm headphone jack.
You know what didn't come in the box? A 3.5mm headphone cable.
Which means if I want to plug this thing into an old iPod or my docking station at work, I'd need to bring a miniUSB cable and an adapter. Or just go buy my own 3.5mm cable.
Very interesting design choices if you ask me.
