Thank you Apple for inventing AirPods. Wired headphones are trash. Only chuds wear them.

Sony Extra Bass 500 were the fucking best. They were MSRP at $80 in 2013 and now you can't find a pair under $300

Obsoleted by fox IEM.

Why was it correct? Even if you use wireless there's still no reason to remove it altogether for the people that use wireless

airpods aren't serviceable and you can't even replace the batteries. people have slowly been conditioned to accept $200 disposable tech.

Bluetooth headphones aren't serviceable either. I have had several different Sony bluetooth headphones and when they break they're practically trash unless superglue works.

I'm currently using wired headphones on my Macbook.

I buy like 20€ anker throw away earbuds. I lose them long before they need service. Sound good enough, if i want really good audio quality i'm using something else anyway.

Wireless is nice for the gym and stuff, but they did not have to get rid of the 3.5mm jack. That person (I assume a 2S transmap type since this is xitter and he has a dogshit take) is retarded. Why are these subhuman types always so anti-choice?

just bought a chinkphone with headphone jack

It was correct for one phone release cycle before people complained about battery life and the phones got thicker again. All that's left is to put the headphone jack back in.

i fell for the wireless earphones meme. these things are expensive and last about a year.
i replaced them with wired usb-c earphones that last forever

>these things are expensive and last about a year.
mine have lasted for 4 years, replaced once in warranty because there was bad firmware that fucked up the battery within a year. new pair 3 years and still working.
Wireless is really good. I REALLY hate it when I'm walking and the headphones get ripped off my head because the cable got snagged. Wired is only for when I'm sitting at the computer now.

charging devices is a humiliation ritual.

Reminder that it is physically impossible to have loud bass in an enclosure the size of a headphone. For bass, you need a resonance cavity that is roughly ~0.5m wide. Mediums and highs can get around much smaller cavities, but basses need a much larger space to properly reproduce the sound at desired levels.
