All right I'll say it as much as I hate how expensive they are and their problems with batteries the convenience of not having to deal with a cord wins out for me. Also since these products are so expensive I generally required the quality of them to be much higher in a way I'm buying earbuds more like I would buy a pair of shoes where I wanted to last for quite a while since I used it everyday.
Whereas before I would just lose a pair of those earbuds and say f*** it they s*** anyway and pick up another one for like $3
Should people have the option still? Yes absolutely I don't think that the Jack should go anywhere it's honestly a very useful port for data input and output aside from just earbuds.
I don't think I've ever used the headphone jack on the phone I currently have. I do still use wired phones at my computer though.
I find neckbands to be a perfect compromise.
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.
You can get a USB-C to Aux adapter for your phone. It's my way of still doing this.
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.
