    Problem is BT headphones last 2 years then they go in the garbage because the batteries are dead. How eco-friendly is that!?

    My 7 years old bluetooth headphone would disagree.

    It is. We had it on phones since before the original iPhone. No one wants to take that away.

    And no one except a vocal minority want to keep it. There are a lot on data on that, and manufacturer make their decision on that data.

    But lets ignore that, and let’s take my viewpoint as a customer. I don’t want a port I have no use for. I don’t want a DAC I have no use for. I don’t want the extra weight that comes with them.

    My needs conflict with yours, so what’s the only way to make both of us somewhat happy? That’s by making the 3.5mm jack an addon, which is what any manufacturer that does not focus on music listening would do.

      I would love to see the data that says everyone wants wired devices only. I don’t believe you.

      don’t want a port I have no use for.

      Why would you even care!?

      I don’t want the extra weight that comes with them.

      😆 Buddy if you don’t want extra weight you need to talk to these OEMs about making their phones out of giant slabs of glass. A 1g connector isn’t going to make a difference. You’re being completely ridiculous.

      My needs conflict with yours,

      No they don’t. They can meet both of our needs by including a jack. Simple as.
