I'd be almost ready to say that we don't need them any more if Bluetooth headphones were about 100x better and cheaper

At the same time, wired earphones/headphones are already just as good with a lot less parts/complexity.

You don't need batteries, radios, and chips for coding/decoding a signal coming out of a headphone jack. You can just plumb it straight into the speakers. No need to mess with controls and all of that, which would make them a lot cheaper.

Don’t forget how new Bluetooth headphones require that you download an app to set up the headphone. So a whole new data harvesting broker forces itself right where an audiojack used to be.

Check on the AppStore’s the kind of personal data one has to handover to tune the headphones. Total fuckery!

Still too much lag. I love my QC45s, but there's still just enough lag to bother me

Bluetooth 5+ definitely made wired headphones obsolete for me.

But now you have to charge two things rather than one. Some people would prefer not to have to do that.

Bluetooth headphones are solid now, as long as you have something that supports aptx HD and LL (HD for music, LL for movies/games). But yeah they're not cheap.
