I know I already made a post to this effect but it's so baffling to me when someone defends the fact that headphone jacks are slowly but surely getting phased out by smartphone manufacturers with some variations of "wireless headphones are more convenient anyway" bc like. If we're talking about convenience what I like about wired headphones is that they conveniently have a single plug that makes the same damn pair of headphones universally compatible with every single audio-output-capable device I own, from my phone and my computer to my fucking gameboy and my casette player, it doesn't get any more convenient than that.
What this post fails to address is POWER DELIVERY
Forcing bluetooth means that the headphone accessory now also needs a separate, depletable battery.
In addition, it actually means both devices separately have an additional power draw to broadcast the bluetooth signal.
When I was a kid, I had a discman with headphones that both worked for weeks off of the shared 2xAA batteries
Now, I have a phone that dies in 16 hours and headphones that die in 26 hours and those estimates actually go down during use with each other because for some reason neither device gives an estimate incorporating the power draw of the Bluetooth connection
