Yeah OK, let me know when Bluetooth latency is the same as a physical wire connection. Or when a good Bluetooth pair costs the same as a good wired pair.
I do however have the rare bluetooth connectivity problems with laptops, even the newer ones, but that could be a problem with Linux.
Also, I've accidentally damaged my wired headphones before by walking around and the wires getting hooked onto something.
Besides, I find it convenient to keep my phone in one place and walk around while making phone calls, or listening to stuff. Like, cleaning my house while listening to stuff.
I agree that it would be better to have both BT and a headphone jack.
I'll take wired over wireless any day of the week.
Probably won't sway you, but it exists.
- Still more irritating to have to keep charged rather than just plug in. Still more irritating to switch back and forth between my phone and my laptop and my desktop though.
- Still more irritating (or even impossible) to share my single audio source with someone else's headphones though.
- Still more irritating to pipe into the mixer and play back over big speakers though.
I had a phone with only USB-C for a while. Sure, dongle's exist. They also get buggy and drop out occasionally, since they've got firmware. They also make it challenging to charge and listen simultaneously. They also get lost easily.
There's a lot to recommend a simple 3-wire electrical connection with a standard plug. I don't begrudge people who want to use bluetooth at all, we can all coexist, just keep the headphone jack available so we can. :-)
But yeah, the venerable 3.5mm headphone jack is simple and effective and doesn't have many of the problems that plague wireless headphones.
Any good phone should have both.
