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

I get the charging part, but... You can buy cords for your buds if that's what you like. You can still buy just regular headphones, even if you don't have the jack you can get a USB adaptor. And, yes, they had no Bluetooth, but eventually they'd get to that point where you had to hold it just right for both ears to play. My last ear buds were from AliExpress, they were both less than $5 and have been going strong for almost a year. If I did that back in the day it would be like listening to music in the other room. You needed at least $10-$15 to get usable headphone.

Headphones aren't ruined because I have the choice to not have them yanked from my ears by every door handle.

I use both wired and Bluetooth. I have a wired type-c for music and Bluetooth for all other stuff. But IMHO Bluetooth is more convenient than wired. Cae produce better sound.

As someone who loves and needs wired headphones but loves the convenience of BT - The solution is a Bluetooth dongle.

  • Plug your amazing headphones into the dongle
  • Keep the dongle in your pocket
  • Cable won't get caught as much
  • Cable won't suffer as much wear
  • Phone is much easier to handle
  • If the headphone jack gets glitchy and bad it's cheaper to replace a dongle than a phone

Downside: Many (most?) BT dongles have shitty audio quality so you need to find a good one.
