[ confirmation bias at play. you have switched to bluetooth. it meets or exceeds all your needs. you don’t see much public indication to the contrary. you figure bluetooth is the best. ]
simplicity the cable just works. no configuration. no pairing .un pairing, figuring why it worked yesterday
Audio quality - bluetooth is lossy. we just were given AptX lossless in 2021
( another confirmation bias ) “Sounds great to me” “I can’t hear the difference”.
2 things are both possibly true though: I can’t hear the difference. Other people hear a big difference.
this seems impossible to some people. As if their senses are the apogee of human sense.
lag. new codecs lower latency, but lag lag lag. You couldn’t possibly use your device as a synth/music instrument
and ‘play’ the lag is far to great. Same with games.
whats the big deal. This is a bias for the plug users - would it hurt to keep it? we’ve always had it. The work is
already done. Its already baked in the cake, why you gotta take it out?
Investment - I have really good headphones. I have really good earbuds.
Yes there are adapters but they are finicky exactly when you want them to just work. They inevitably break.
They often downgrade the sound - I have 3 usb to audio adapters for android that all hiss for no reason.
The issue is that when the marketers are selling us a ‘clean vision of the future’ they purposefully gloss over
the things they are taking away. Then they paint the people who feel pain because of the change as neanderthals
who wouldn’t know better if it bit them. When they do know better. They had better (for them) and progress
made it worse (for them). To which the marketers generally say - you should be someone else.
Lol harder at the butthurt 3.5mm fetishists who downvote simple answers to their unbelievably petty and stupid criticisms.
Lol hardest at every dipshit who mentioned Bluetooth and didn’t like when the adapters were pointed out as the basic solution to their whining.

Use the adapter plug as mentioned. You can even just leave it on your normal headphones if you only use 1 pair!

Hurts waterproofing, phone slimness and design, etc. again, you can just use an adapter to have all the stuff you’re whining about back.

No, you’re either talking out of your ass or buying the cheapest possible cord and being shocked when it doesn’t work right. My $8 adapter has worked for 4 years no problem driving over-ear headphones no issues.

Nothing was taken away. It’s literally just combined with another port now.
If you want to be mad at anyone: be mad at the people making headphones with 3.5mm jacks rather than USB-C, as they’re the ones using an outdated port.

These are all great rebuttals to arguments I never made. Top tier strawmanning 🏆.
Anyway, there’s a headphone port built into your USB-C port. Use any headphones you want.
I didn’t respond to _any arguments you made. I thought you posed the question ‘why?’
