    I don’t see the big deal about headphone jacks. If you really want wired headphones, stick a dongle on the end of the cable and leave it there. It’s almost exactly the same, except you can’t charge and listen at the same time - not really something I would worry about.

      All this accomplishes is an unnecessary inconvenience. I shouldn’t have to lug additional cables, and far more importantly the choice between Wired/Wireless should be up to me, not the manufacturer

        It’s like complaining a new PC doesn’t come with USB-A and only USB-C.

        Design decisions shouldn’t always be up to the end user. Every single option can’t always be included forever and ever.

        If you want wired for quality, you need a DAC anyway. If you want wired otherwise, leave the adapter on your headphones.

        Don’t let your inability to adapt stifle actual developmental progress.

          Jesus Christ, they do? Add it to the list then, i ain’t buying a computer without USB A ports. Also, taking choices away from the user is the shittest excuse for progress i have ever seen or heard of

          Oh God, the DAC guy… If it has enough power to make the cans go boom, then its fine… thats why we invest in cans.

          Wireless is not always the answer, and people are sick of fucking dongles.

          As someone who works in a real world enviorment utilizing years of very expensive legacy hardware, this whole, “get it down to a single USB c and buy a hub/dock” shtick is getting old. These ports just can’t disappear without causing major chaos. It’s a nice thought, but its not realistic.
