People sticking with audio jack phones, why is USB-C earphones not a solution? - eviltoast

Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?

    A lot of the answers are good and make sense. Sometimes folks have an impression that wired is better even on some super old, crappy headphones.

    If they love those wired buds, they won’t want a phone without the jack.
