Back in 2016 Apple famously removed the headphone jack from the iPhone 7, and while customers and companies alike mocked Apple for releasing a flagship smartphone without a headphone jack, it eventually became clear within the next couple years that the iPhone 7 had set a trend that virtually every other smartphone manufacturer would follow. Now I want to start off by sharing some background knowledge of the 3.5mm headphone jack. Which is one of the most unique I/O ports to ever exist, and there are a few reasons for this.
First, it was invented over fifty years ago in the 1960’s, which means it came out before the VCR player, a product many of you may not even recognize since it’s been obsolete for so long. But the headphone jack was able to stand the test of time and remain relevant even to this day. Which brings me to the second thing that makes the port so special, it can actually be upgraded with modern features by simply adding another ring to its sleeve. That’s why older headphone jacks only have one or two rings, while today we’re used to seeing three. And those extra rings added capabilities like stereo audio and audio input, without the need to redesign an entirely new connector, not to mention modern headphones are backward compatible with older products. But there’s one more important quality of the headphone jack, it served as a ubiquitous industry standard for audio in and out.

Lmao,thaks for making me laugh.
Headphone jack is not only for headphones but also so you can plug it into external speakers or auxiliary port in the car.
Jeremy Coleman you can do all that witless.
Plus it’s way more convenient when it’s wireless.
Nobody wants to have a cord attaching their phone to a speaker or to their car.
Dima 44 some people still do
@@dimaisatree and if ur earphone need charge?
@@dimaisatree
I do everytime I drive the car. Beautiful moment to charge the battery.
Standard cables ftw, my friends can also take the cable and play music without the hassle to stop the car to give it five minutes to hassle with bluetooth pairing.
@@dimaisatree I prefer using a cable generally speaking. It's just easier and faster. Bluetooth will run your battery down faster (unless your phone is plugged in charging). I've used Bluetooth audio many times. I've used it since the Bluetooth audio standard first came out like 10, 15 years ago whenever it was. I own a Bluetooth speaker. This is nothing new. My phone can do Bluetooth audio too. This is nothing new people. It's just about options people. And they want to say that the 3.5mm jack is legacy technology. Well, I disagree. Just because you CAN play music wirelessly doesn't mean you HAVE TO play music wirelessly. Neither do I see any benefit of playing music over lightning port. Or lightning to 3.5mm with a stupid dongle. Are they trying to say that lightning port is superior to 3.5? Please.....
Apples reasons for removing the jack because the future is wireless. Then continue to provide wired earphones in the box
But now you can read newspaper headlines that warn of cancer in the ears due to radio radiation. which is said to be higher than the radiation from the mobile phone itself
Sounds like a Shietty &, Compromising future to me, considering the fact that you need to charge it every once in a while in which you wouldnt even need to do with wired earphones,also Imagine gaming on this kind of peripherals in which the sound lags behind your gameplay
Would you want them to not include any headphones
So are we obliged to go to the future? Can't we just stay in the past for a while?
Difference between Microsoft and Apple.
The fact that the headphone jack is more universal than USB type c is astounding
What we should understand is if Apple jumps off a cliff all the other manufacturers also jump down the same cliff 😂😂

samsung flagship phone had years been water resistance IP68, bigger battery, USB C, not to mention expandable storage while maintaining the headphone jack with a lower price.

David Easley get your silly ass off this thread. Everything in the iPhone is other companies technology. Apple had isheeps even believing Apple invented TVs at one time..get your stupid ass off the internet...and NO , Apple didn't invent the internet dumb ass sheep
@@PrinceAltoid 1. Exynos
2. Tizen
3. Samsung is one of the leading suppls of flash storage in the world. If youre going to say that they arent because they outsource SOME manufacturing, then Apple doesnt have their own chips
4. you are an idiot. Apple has ALWAYS outsourced the majority of components in their phones. samsung even used to make their processors... They still provide flash for Apple,(and RAM too i believe. The cameras are also third party(Sony?). Their batteries also are outsourced, definitly NOT from samsung
you also dont know what IP ratings are... IP68's definition doesnt change. IP68 ALWAYS means its rated for total submersion of 1+ meters for 30 minutes. Also remember that when they first removed the jack their water resistence was still worse than phones that still had jacks, so saying it was removed for that purpose is beyond stupid
Finally, Apple did NOT invent printed circuits. PCBS have existed since the 60s, well before Apple existed.
edit: "definitly NOT from Samsung"
@@PrinceAltoid Also, Apple realy doesnt entirely develop their own chips either. They basically rent the core structure from ARM and reorganize it.
Samsung has made their own devices with their own OS too you idiot... The only reason they dont still and never did in the west is because app support makes launching new mobile OSes practically impossible

The real question is: “WHY Apple killed the headphone jack?”
Not “HOW Apple killed the headphone jack?”
Money
UnrealOG Exactly.
Jonathan Cineus They saw an opportunity to make money from something that’s useless and they took it.
Most people nowadays use wireless headphones, so why not creat your own wireless headphones and sell millions of them?
Theres a reason they become the first trillion dollar company.
This is a cold war between apple and headphone jack. headphone jack is not dead yet. The real question is who will die first will it be apple or headphone jack?
Because Apple believes in a “wireless future.”
The headphone jack is still wildly used and loved it will probably stay relevant for years to come
Yeah I don't see it going away anytime soon. I'd say Apple jumped the gun about 20 years too early. Here's to hoping they jump the shark too! Trillion dollar company my ass. Only reason they're trillion dollar company is because they have high profit margins. Good for investors. But what that basically means is that they're ripping off the customers with their overpriced bullshit.

Able have been since the Galaxy S5. It's sad that apple uses ip67 with their ipones and no headphone jack which Samsung used on the gs5 in 2014. 5 years later apple upgrades to ip68 eating on their flagship. Which is still garbage in Apple's use of it. I can't tell you how much standing water I've seen in more than I can count, XS maxs' at my job in Mobile repair. Where I have seen zero Galaxy's come in for water damage but still have a headphone jack
Griffin Kennedy where tf u work because I’ve never seen a single newer iPhone get water damage in real life
And?
9:40 is the funniest moment. Advocating for more wires? Is that what apple wants to prevent? Yet they build computers with so little ports that one have to carry a bag of dongles and adapters to be able to use the machine for something more than a Facebook. Of course none of those come with the package.
Btw.. there are phones with mini jack port and with IP67 certificate. There are ones with IP68 too.
Yeah, and they were able to fit in a much larger battery. There is no justification for removing the most universal connector.

Honestly I can't imagine not having a headphone jack, because even though I usually use Bluetooth headphones, sometimes they need to charge, and then it's useful for me to have earphones that I don't need to charge
I also have a pair that uses USB-C, but I don't use it very often because if I'm using wired earphones I probably need to charge my phone so that's annoying
...and I have an ancient laptop that can't use Bluetooth so I need wired headphones
EDIT: my wireless headphones broke and the earphone jack is more useful than ever
Same
You dont realize how useful it is until you dont have it. I tend to lose things easily so i use wired headphones, however i had to upgrade my phone to an iphone x after my 6s' battery couldnt hold a charge for more then 30 minutes, and the camera broke. Its been hell because i have had to continue to buy headphone adaptors. I hate it, its expensive and it sucks.
It started with the Nokia 3310, that didn’t have a headphone jack
hmmm and yet nothing changed after all this time.
Its almost as if u stupid fucks forgot that APPLE has weight and A LOT OF IT in the tech industry. Just imagine how fucked up the field would be if apple didn't ditch the firewire port, the floppy drive, the cd drive, or HDD storage.
U have no clue the wonders Apple has brought by going against the flow let it be more money or not. They altered our future, and u fuckers are ungrateful beyond a doubt. Disgusting thats all I can say.
firewire wasnt apple exclusive but didnt really catch on on other equipment, floppy drives fell on their own, since 1.44 mb wasnt enough, cd drives went on a similar path but me and many of my friends still have one to watch movies, play older games and listen to music, hdd storage is still prevalent

No no no. You don't need to get other manufacturers mixed into this because apple fans who don't actually think and just follow what apple says will say it's not the same. Just look at the 6s. It was already water resistant, they just needed to use some better seals and pay for an IP rating.
The fact that many Android phone makers were able to achieve the same benefits (larger battery, Sammy's IP68 which one-upped Apple's, better display, etc) while retaining the headphone jack leads me to believe that the removal of the jack on Apple's part was nothing more than a money grab setup for their Airpods and wireless Beats. _And everyone fell for it_
It shows how intelligent the public is.
Ofc its nothing more than a scam

Samsung Galaxy S5
This device is rated IP67, using the Ingress Protection rating system. The dust rating is 6 (highest level of protection), and the water resistance rating is 7 (water-resistant up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes). Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation. It is important that all compartments are closed tightly.
WITH REMOVABLE BATTERY, BACK COVER & A HEADPHONE PORT!!
I wonder what would happen if you dropped it into a puddle and that back cover came loose 🤔
@@enda0man The back cover only protects the battery from ingress. You'd just need to buy a new battery, the battery compartment itself is seperate from the rest of the device. A new battery for the S5 was only something like $15

I really love how you dig deep into certain topics. It's like bringing blogs into life. I also had the idea of doing these detailed videos but I decided to stick to reviews for now and maybe in the future I'm might also get into it 😃, good job.
I work at a public school. There are so m any levels of technology that many of us teachers cannot afford to have "courage" for technology. I need a laptop or a phone with access to as much old and new tech as possible. Schools can sometimes not be able to equip every room with a HDMI projector or have USBC flash drives for every kid or have to do a presentation using wireless bluetooth connection on every single speaker/projector in every classroom and have laptops and phones that are accessible to every teacher and every student at every level of technological skill.
While I do understand the whole convenience reason for normal everyday users, for things like education and "public" access facilities like libraries, schools, and small businesses, pushing forward into more and more expensive and high turnover technology is often pointless and unrealistic for some users who rely on accessing both new and old technology at the same time, at any given time.
As evidence, my school just purchased 30 new laptops - several of the requirements was that they MUST ALL have, USB-A (2.0 and 3.0 compatible) VGA, HDMI and Headphone ports natively. Everything else is cream, because our students should be able to sit in a library, slap on their own headphones or the library $5 a piece headsets, get their work done, then go into a classroom with an old projector and present their work, then stick a USB stick into it, save it, and give it to their teacher, while wirelessly uploading it to google classroom so if the teacher wants to demonstrate a student's work to other teachers in the boardroom, they can connect the same laptop to an HDMI projector in the teachers staff room whilst using a Bluetooth powerpoint presenter wand from Logitech and wirelessly connecting the laptop to the speakers so we can hear the student presentation and grade it as a faculty.
But when I get home, I connect my wireless bose noise canceling headphones to my Google Pixel 1 and when I drive to work, I use a 3.5mm jack to connect my phone to my car speakers so I can listen to podcasts on the way to work.
Sometimes "courage" is inconvenient for years...

As a music student and former film student, this is my main concern. I can't record with wireless headphones because I hear myself in an echo, now I don't need that for my iPhone, because I don't record on it, but it is important on my Laptop, and on the school's desktops. Editing sound and video is a niche that Apple has well secured. My university is supposed to be fully PC, but you enter the music building and we all have Macs, it's just not comparable. But it feels like they are less concerned about the professional market recently and it's a bit concerning.
@@chronicallymeee After windows 8 there has been no benefit to using Apple for music.

I'm currently using a set of head phones to watch this video, I couldn't imagine not having a head phone jack, they are affordable and easy to use, I have never had any trouble using them. Wireless head phones are expensive and do not always have the simplest set up process not to mention a delay in audio and worse audio quality overall. I've never liked apple or any of their products but handicapping your users for meaningless extra space that will offer a minimal amount of extra features that are not needed for the use of the phone is just awful. I know that always improving with new technology is a must, but some things were designed so well that they don't need any improvements to get the intended effect. Audio you can listen to without burdening everyone else with it in this case. Speaking of computers, I cannot stand it when there is no disc drive I like to burn cds and dvds often and I cant do that if the computer was designed with "innovation" in mind. Some things are better left the way the were even though technology gets more advanced CD drives and audio jacks will always be some of the best inventions. They make it far more simpler than needing high download speeds to play games or watch movies and Wireless head phones are nice, but they cant beat the quality of a wired set.
too bad because the most popular companies have removed the headphone jack from their phones

I'm one of those individuals who really needs the headphone jack. Bluetooth just doesn't do it for me. I'm using my headphones just about 24 hours a day. A battery for my headphones would make it impossible to do my work without having to switch between headphone sets two to three times a day. Further, to give an adapter to use a weird set is not really a truly functional approach. Certainly this does still leave you with a write, but try working with a wireless set of headphones on a flight from San Francisco to Seoul for example.this is just not functional.

Hey, you have a great night.
Airpods, the case has 20 hours of battery, the headphones have 5 hours, and they charge in 10-15 min, so you have 20 hours of sound with 40 min of charging
Bluetooth headphones aren't good as their wired counterparts, I for one need that port because I like crisp stereo sound.
You won't notice the difference, trust me. Unless you're mixing audio, which you definitely don't do on your phone I assume. Bluetooth is more than fine for casual use, in fact better than wired because it's more convenient.
@Wayne Lee Ramsden Doesn't change the fact that wired is still less convenient. Just because you have the less convenient option as well doesn't mean your overall experience is more convenient.
If you change to the more convenient technology, I bet you won''t be willing to switch back so the headphone jack. As an option, it adds nothing at all.

My wired headphones will outlast your wireless headphones any day. Give your headphones 2 years. The battery life on that crap would drop significantly. And you would have to buy a new one.

2. Pure wireless earphones like AirPods and the like are easily lost (I still prefer lace-type Bluetooth earphones and wired earphones when I'm at home).
3. Game consoles (PS4, Nintendo Switch) still does not support Bluetooth audio and I still need to keep wired earphones for my console gaming.
4. The ability to charge and listen to music at the same time.
Courage my ass. This is the single most annoying thing Apple ever have done. I miss my headphone jack every day. Only reason I use a iPhone is the fact that my workplace decides what phone we get.
Boo hoo.
Parker's Brick Box you crying? Haha.
@@Nik6644 That's the stupidest comparison i've ever seen
Well I don't want to sound like some kind of hater or fanboy so I'll mention both pros and cons of each device.
Firstly the pro of wireless technology is that it's wireless. No wires messin around. And it may have a better sound quality too. The first con is that it's wireless. So it must have it's own battery. I have used wireless headphones for some time and they were pretty comfortable but I couldn't listen to the music while they were charging and had to think about TWO batteries instead of one.
Secondly, you can't share. While using Bluetooth headphones I have found out that I couldn't share audio with my brothers or friends while there were lots of 3.5mm jack splitters on the internet.
Moreover some of wired ones can give a sound boost while connected to additional power source. Also wired headphones are cheaper.
To sum the things up, wireless technology is good and innovative but recently it is not enough developed to push the wired technology out of the market entirely so I'll stick with 3.5mm jack for now.
- What's wrong with an extra battery, wireless headphones batteries last forever anyways. And all wireless earphones have warning that tells you when your battery is low well before it runs out of battery.
- You can share, just put one pod in the other person's ear. The el classico way.
- Nobody's gonna connect their headphones to a power source when they're listening to music on their phone, that's way too impractical. For studio work, yes definitely but Apple hasn't removed the headphone jack from their Macs & I assume nobody does any audio mixing or whatever on their phone.
- You can get a decent pair of bluetooth headphones for £20 & cheap £2 wired earphones break very easily & throw audio quality out the window I guess if you're buying £2 wired earphones.
Wireless headphones are better, apart from professional use which an iPhone is not for anyway.
@@nath1606 No battery lasts forever
@@nath1606
At first, only infinite power sources keeps producing power for ever. But they just don't exist.
Secondly, sharing audio in "The el classico way" is just uncomfortable. It seems you hadn't tried 3.5mm jack hub.
Thirdly, by saying "sound boost while connected to additional power source" I meant that the headset apart from 3.5mm jack has usb type-A connection. It works perfectly even without it connected but when it IS connected it gives a decent sound boost.
Also about durability. I have had wireless earphones for about 20€ and wired ones for almost the same price. Despite having more points to break wired ones lasted much longer. And the sound quality is not the thing I could complain about.
I will admit that £2 earphones rarely lasts longer than a month or produce high quality sound but if you're not afraid to may more than 10 dollars you can get pretty good ones.
@@KofolaDealer I don't mean literally, they do last a good 5 to 10 hours before you have to charge them again sometimes even more. I say forever figuratively.
@@mantas8443 - I meant "forever" figuratively, not literally. Bluetooth earphones can go hours before you need to charge them again & if you do charge them, just charge them overnight.
- I don't really find it uncomfortable tho it's a subjective thing. But now with bluetooth 5.0, you can pair 2 pairs of earphones on the same device if you do find the el classico way uncomfortable.
- More & more bluetooth earphones are being made with no wires, which means no breaking points (Thanks to Apple creating AirPods & removing the headphone jack arguably) & fully wireless earphones are becoming cheaper & cheaper. And my bluetooth earphones that cost me £20 have lasted longer than wired alternatives have in my experience.
- Yes, I agree. I got Apple EarPods for £6.50 off of Amazon & I really enjoyed the sound of them tho the fact that I was switching back to wired earphones was annoying because I was spoilt by the conveniences that wireless gave me. But I'd argue thanks to Apple removing the headphone jack, wireless earphones have been getting cheaper & cheaper.
The benefit of the removal of the headphone Jack is more money for some companies.
I can't imagine how much pain Steve Job's soul would be in when apple removed headphone jack.
Typical Jobs. He would do the same. Proprietary, proprietary!
Why wouldn’t he do the same? All companies copied Apple so they were cleary right
Nah Steve Jobs liked getting rid of stuff like legacy ports for the first iMac, FireWire, sd port on iPhone, and not supporting flash on ipad and iPhone the thing is that he’s a minimalist, plus he wanted to get rid of the optical drive in the macs

@@x97k8 Apple users WOULD be the people to defend removing the headphone jack because the bottom of their phone looks clean...
Watching on my pixel XL with Jack. I wish the subsequent pixel had it too. 😓
I also think Apple anticipated the arrival of the Bluetooth 5.0 standard, which allows for a much higher data rate transfer from the cellphone to the wireless headset. That right there means vastly improved sound quality compared to older Bluetooth wireless headphones. If you have an iPhone 8/8 Plus/X/XR/XS/XS Max model, they all support Bluetooth 5.0.
My LG g7 thinq has dtx surround sound and a HiFi quad Dec audio which requires a headphone jack

“We removed the headphone jack because we have courage”…
I have my Samsung Galaxy S10+ with the headphone jack a pair of AKG earphones and the galaxy earbuds included !!! Nothing can compares with the sound of the wired headphones,I tried wireless beats,JBL,Samsung,airpods,jaybird and none of them compares with my Audiotecnica M50X!!!
Carlos Gonzales absolutely yes
Wired earphones give you better quality
Whenever i am in my i try to plug my phone using the lighting cable because it provides more quality but the hassle of wires and maintaining them.
That’s why i use Bluetooth then no worries connects automatically plays automatically.
I don't know if you guys have the problem but my bluetooth headphone makes a silent noise when there is no sound
This. Note 8 user here. While I do have a lot of wireless headphones, I love my M40x, M50x, and Philips SHP9500.
Personally I don’t give high expectations to Bluetooth Headphones cuz due to the limitations of it. But I always expect good sound quality from wired headphones that I spend a considerable amount of money into it.
In facts I use em cuz of the sheer convenience it provides.
The option to this is call S10,
I wont buy a cellphone without jack port

It was supposed to be something different. Sorry for the mistake.
I still think it’s ridiculous. It’s change just for the sake of change. Same with removing traditional ports on the MacBook Pro. I have a huge problem with a “wireless future”. It should be an option, but not the only option, because wired connections are always better.
Virtually every other smartphone maker has current release phones with a headphone jack. Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung, LG, Sony, Nokia, Motorola and many others
Bluetooth for music is a non-starter for me, since it uses lossy compression. No thanks, not interested. And, no, I don't listen to MP3s.
You do professional audio mixing on your phone?
At least on Android's u can get varieties of better BT codec like AptX or LDAC... Unlike Apple who's only have AAC
Pfft hard to get CD drives? I've gotten 3 notebooks and they all had one!
@@TheReal_ist Reported
Especially considering that some devices fall back to the lower quality SBC encoding if they don't support anything else and the fact that playing compressed audio via a compressed transmission should only be done with AAC for storage and transmission as it retains the quality best. Playing a mp3 file via SBC reduces quality immensely.
Crapple removed the headphone jack cuz they didn't have the technology and or didn't want to pay the royalty to other companies that had the technology to waterproof the headphone jack. Crapple lied about courage

I swear that 7 is quite a number in the tech industry with Windows 7 (the OS I'm using to comment this comment) being a better version of Vista, iOS 7 redesigning the iOS icons, and the iPhone 7 removing the headphone jack.
The reasoning behind removing the headphone jack in the iPhone 7 keynote comes off as being manipulative though.
No headphone jack I won’t buy it. It’s that simple.

The problem is that they removed the headphone jack before it was obsolete and even in 2019 many people use it...
I don’t give a crap about the future and wireless. This was one of the stupidest decisions they’ve ever made. So now I have to get AirPods or something wireless so I can simply just charge my phone and listen to music at the same time. It’s just stupid
its not stupid, its convinient and gets cheaper and better every day. this mentality of "this is good lets not improve" is bad. im someone who uses an MP3 player to listen to music. but i understand that some people prefer music streaming platforms because its more convinient for them. our devices have their pros and cons. we can coexist and hey who knows maybe one day ill start using a phone to listen to music
@@waifu_png_pl6854 it’s not really more convenient and certainly not cheaper.
And the AirPods have to be recharged. LOL
@@waifu_png_pl6854
Not necessarily.
The reason is that in order to make a phone water resistance they have to sealed the headphone jack and they have to pay royalties for the headphone jack and apple wouldn't pay for something there not making money in the first place
First of all they don't have to pay royalties for the headphone jack. It's free. Second bullshit on the headphone jack. The Samsung galaxy S5 has had ip68/67 (can't remember) resistance. And all the phones since the s7 were higher resistance than all iPhones despite having a jack
Apple is not gonna wait for the industry to change, Apple is gonna make it change.
if thats true they would inovate and not remove usefull features
True but most of these changes are bad
People will complain about apple then follow the standard they make.

I love my Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones, and eventually if needed I’ll just get the Bluetooth version.
I’m watching this on my iPad Mini 2, with above mentioned headphones. My iPad still works well, I’m probably not gonna upgrade soon.
I also have an adapter from Anker for Lightning to AUX, for my iPhone XS Max.
I mostly use wireless headphones but wireless headphones run on batteries, if I run out of batteries and I'm not home I like the thought that I can just plug the headphones to my phone's 3.5mm with a regular aux cable.
While I don't think the 3.5mm jack is a must have, it is certainly a convenient port to have.
Sorry, I'm not ditching my headphone jack for a wireless one. Simply because I don't want charge them and they don't last that long and overpriced as hell.
Austin Cower well they make usb headphone jacks
there's also usb micro sd card readers
so you're not that limited however it does mean more bulkyness
@@fargeeks it limits what you can do with your phone. You use a USB-C headphone jack, well now you can forgot about charging your phone. Just because we have a port that can do "everyone in one" like USB doesn't mean it should be used for that purpose exclusively.

I tried using a phone which did not have an audio jack. I switched back to a phone with an audio jack. I use Bluetooth a lot. But it is not universal. There are lots of conditions and activities where wired audio is more efficient. People compare this to removal of the floppy disc. But the floppy was much more clearly obsolete with universally usable options. Also, dongles are not as solid a connection as the audio port.
It's actually more to what you said. *They just removed it*

You actually make very reasonable explanations! You’ve earned a subscriber here!!!

4:44 - "The lightning connector could deliver even higher sound quality."
That's plain wrong. Headphones are working with analog signals and the quality of the signal is at a level where humans can't possible sense a difference.
The argument that people have to be forced to get into new technology is BS too. The iPhone didn't got popular because the population was forced into using them, but because the product was good and cheap enough. If wireless headphones are getting good and cheap enough, then people will buy them.
There are a lot of cases where I don't want to use my expensive Bose Noice Canceling Headphones. Cases where I want to use cheep headphones, so I don't have to mind them. If I break or lose them, or if someone steals them I don't care much. Investing more money in headphones whose main quality is that they are particularly cheap is just not possible.
Apple lighting to jack connector DAC is a marvel and it does sound better, the only sin apples made is to remove the adapter, that’s adapter is worth more than 9$
Well, when I first bought the iPhone 7 Plus I was already using wireless neckbands & headphones for my entertainment needs. I used the old school Nokia ones for neck band and Sony wireless headphones, they worked better. I hate wires for several reasons, majorly, that they get jumbled & gets stuck, especially if you travel a lot in public transportation. Since switching to wireless, now with earbuds, the connection between devices is more seamless, quality is better and they’re more stealthy yet quality audio. I wear them during driving for navigation which wasn’t possible with wires due to the length and other issues.
