We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
And the cords break every 3 days and eventually the port gets fucked.
Having said that - I LOVE having a headphone jack.
For all the shit Bluetooth audio and devices get it for fucking sure was better than the past with how they're less likely to break, how they're more convenient, and how modern batteries allow them to work for over a day without charging
Last I saw a worthy earbuds with cables was with a luxury brand that allowed you to disconnect from cables, and have braided cables so that it wouldn't rip, with a comfortable design that prevented tangling, with the cost of it being heavy.
It costed three times more than the next Bluetooth device with no comprehensive improvement to audio quality.
You can get a USB-C to Aux adapter for your phone. It's my way of still doing this.
I find neckbands to be a perfect compromise.
And they were always tangled, and they got yanked out of your ears, and they were never in your pocket.
I still have a newish mid range phone with it, it runs most newer games, Zenless Zone Zero is the only that doesn't work, you just have to get comfortable with not owning Apple or Samsung.
I got an older android and never stopped getting headphones, it just makes more sense to me. I mean I'd love to have a better camera but if that means getting a phone without the jack then I'm not buying it.
And they also got tangled easy, caught on things, and winding them up to put them away was annoying.
