Sidebar, but I care about the headphone jack issue and am still annoyed by it.

Bluetooth headphones just aren't very good, and we've all gotten in the habit of buying a new pair every few years because they either break, get lost, are unsupported, or have bad batteries.

I previously had the same pair of IEMs for almost a decade that had better sound quality, replaceable cables and eartips, and didn't ever run out of battery. Never did I complain about the cables being annoying or in the way, and never did I complain about the presence of the headphone jack, or the Bluetooth chip onboard.

Removing headphone jacks was a horrible misstep in my opinion and we're stuck with the path dependency it's created now. It's probably not long before we have laptops that omit 3.5mm audio jacks as well.

I'm down to just using a permanent audio jack to USB c dongle for phones and my computer. Very very silly.

USB-C is a waaaaay less stable connection than Micro-B or even a headphone jack. Having a phone in your pocket with an USB-C to P2 adapter is asking to have your sound stop every 5 minutes of walking.
