    Yes we are and that’s okay we’re not against headphone jacks, it’s just that this post right here is about wireless earbuds

      I think part of the conversation is about how they got rid of the headphone jack shortly before releasing these. While it is good that these exist, it seems like they exist as a result of a popular anti-consumer business choice that people don’t like, and is thus tied to that choice.

        I did not think people would perceive it like that, and didn’t realize the jack was phased out before bluetooth ear buds were a thing, as I myself had a phone with a headphone jack until at least a couple years later, and by the time I got a phone without a headphone jack, I didn’t need it anymore.

        I for one have been very happy with wireless headphones because with my job, the wires would get caught on stuff too easily, or I had to run the wires through my shirt, and they barely had enough slack for me to turn my head while my phone was in my pocket. (and btw the job I have is that’s unsupervised where I can have an ear bud in while working)
