I can’t speak to the sd card situation but I still prefer a headphone jack over Bluetooth. I would argue that the vast majority of people (as you put it) use Bluetooth headphones simply because they were forced into it.

Bluetooth is neat and all but it’s also super old (28 years!). It’s older than smart phones and sd cards. But age aside, it’s also not reliable. You cannot guarantee it will work everytime you need it. Whereas you could reasonably expect a headphone jack to work everytime. So replacing old reliable with old not-reliable doesn’t seem right from a logical perspective.

My only other concern is convenience. But wired and wireless both have pros and cons and I just consider them more or less equal.

Bluetooth also introduces significant latency (noticeable for gaming) and lower audio quality. What a bad deal.

Audio quality reduction might not be noticeable to the average user, as long as they don’t use the mic

I feel like everyone keeps arguing with me about “Wired vs. Bluetooth”, but that has not been my argument.

My argument is “what’s the big deal about using a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter?”

You still get wired headphones. I have a Pixel 7 Pro and use my Sennheisers on them. I do not understand the problem. The feature isn’t missing, and the adapter is like $5 and has no downsides. For a couple extra bucks I got a Power+Aux adapter, and now I can plug it into my sound system at home and play it wired while it charges.

You mentioned two situations where you need additional adapters (to use headphones and aux output) but a 3.5mm jack would completely mitigate the need for them.

I love how anyone with half a fucking brain gets down voted.

Rather than point out where youre wrong thet just keep yelling about Bluetooth and downvotig once they realize they’ve run out of “gotchas”

Anyone fucking stupid enough to think the 3.5mm Jack is a good thing deserves the disappointment they feel every time a device doesn’t have own, tbh, bring it on themselves

I love how anyone with half a fucking brain poor conversational skills and an inability to see things from someone else’s perspective gets down voted.

Try talking to people online as though they were in the same room as you, IRL. If you’re already doing that, I have to ask, how many offline friends do you have?

I think you might have half a brain. Me and the gentleman on the other side of the argument are having a conversation right now so please go away.
