    You’re arguing as if wireless audio is somehow better as ps2, etc was replaced by something better.

    It’s simply not. You either buy a dumbass dongle or have to charge yet another thing. Along with that you can’t charge and listen to music at the same time without aforementioned dumb wireless ear buds.

    It was a money grab, plain and simple. The 3.5 Jack is still monumentally viable and an asset.

      Ye, well, that’s just, like, your opinion man…

      But seriously, that highly subjective. I’ll take wireless over wired any day thanks. The inconvenience of having to charge the buds is not actually as bad as you’re making it out to be. You can charge and listen if you consider charging the case as still being charging the whole unit.

      The convenience of not having to deal with the damm cables themselves outweighs the inconvenience of needing to occasionally charge them for me, and clearly I’m not alone.

      Someone smarter than me can talk about audio quality over wireless, but when we’re talking about streaming music from Spotify, it’s moot anyway.

      The fact is, for the vast majority of mobile users, wireless is an upgrade over wired.

        You’re right, it is subjective. The point is, you don’t have to choose. You can have both and sacrifice nothing. But what you want is simply for everyone else to have fewer options.
