And if your next phone didn't support Bluetooth but used some other way to connect you'd be fine with that as well?None, but I already owned them.

just like Bluetooth offers something better than wired.
That's just your opinion man.
Bluetooth headsets have advantages and disadvantages, obviously the best option is to allow the user to either chose to use wired or wireless as the situation demands.
And with the better phones have that choice in a streamlined and superior way without the need for dongles or faffing about!Absolutely, and users have that choice with every phone on the market.

I'm glad we agree!
Not only that, but since his setup was a work-around to what could have been done in a manufacturing process, it used 3 times more space than a jack planned from the start would have needed The space excuse was such a blatant lie.As far as space, a modder put a working jack into the iPhone 7... The space excuse was a flat out lie.
iPhones don't have 3.5mm jacks.
We can't be held back by old standards forever when there is newer, better technology available.
How is having a headphone jack holding anyone back? Are you saying that because they have to plug a cord in?
Bluetooth headphones are great for their convenience. When doing things like yard work, having a cord gets in my way. However, outside of very specific limitations caused by cables at times, the undeniable truth right now is headphones simply offer the best performance when plugged in. This isn't even a personal belief, but take sound readings of the same headphone plugged in, and then take it while it's in Bluetooth mode. It will simply sound the best when plugged in.
Secondly, another downside to Bluetooth headphones is that battery will not last forever. Hopefully when it dies you are able to replace it. Otherwise, if it's a headphone model that doesn't work without battery power (like some Beats models), then it is a pretty paperweight. Finally, a person often pays extra in the first place for a wireless headphone.
If Bluetooth works for you, with your stated purpose of being a "tech enthusiast", go right ahead and enjoy. However, don't be "that guy" shouting that newer tech is always better than what it is trying to replace. Now if one day a new audio technology can outperform the audio plug, I'll be right there with it. Although that day is not today, and I doubt it will be any time soon.
My bluetooth headphones have a MicroSD slot (loaded with FLAC files) and a 3.5mm Jack... THE HORROR!!! I tried using them with Bluetooth but the sound is slightly distorted at the higher and lower ranges compared to using the MicroSD or the cable option.
On the subject of "new tech is best" mechanical keyboards are decidedly old tech and they are still my preferred choice, same with wired mouse/keyboard & ethernet over WiFi for a PC.
This has turned into my favorite thread ever!
The XR has a 2.9mAh battery!
Losing the headphone jack didn't gain anything for battery capacity. The Note 9 has a 4000mAh battery and a headphone jack, sPen slot, mSD and IP68.
The rest of the iPhone lineup have even smaller batteries.
You're simply buying into a lie if you believe removing the headphone jack had diddly to do with Apple's battery sizes. If it did, then Apple's designers blow since plenty of other makes can figure out how to do larger capacity batteries without removing features.
And LOL @ why would I want to pay $9 to have a stupid dongle hanging off my phone, rather than *nothing* for a proper jack and no need for dongles. Again, bizarre arguments for a lack of choice.
2900 mAh vs 4000 mAh and the XR still has better battery life. Plus there's about a 0% chance of me ever buying a Samsung product again ...
You're not fooling anyone. You're the antithesis of tech-knowledgeable.
That's missing the point entirely. The point being that Apple didn't use or need the space from the headphone jack for extra battery.
Every post of yours reeks with irony.I'm not the one with the problem adopting new and better technologies.

You've already been schooled on the fact bluetooth is neither new nor better.
You don't seem able to grasp that everyone else didn't have to 'adopt' anything- we have the same things and use them when we want to- it's just we have another choice that you don't.
Logic is NOT a strength you possess.
Now that i put bluetoothmouseguy on ignore, this thread is really a gem.

So if Bluetooth headphones sound good (as the beats studio wireless do), what's the problem with getting rid of the headphone jack?
