Comment on Apple's new iPhone 15 is an underwhelming 'slap in the face,' say disappointed fans

  I have a collection of wired headphones. I did use it, when phones had it.

  Now it’s dongle life.

    I mean… if you look beyond Apple then there’s loads of 3.5mm-ready phones available

      As an Android user. People I think forget how much headphones with cords sucked to.

      Skull candies were expensive, broke, and sounded like shit.

      Did no one else have headphones get yanked out of your heads bent and worn out. Cords get frayed, have them get lost or stolen. It was also just nother tangled cord that I had do deal with.

      I might be a rarity here and you are entitled to feel how you feel but God I look back and think about how badly I fucking don’t miss the headphones jack and all the shitty headphones brands trying to make a buck.

      There are cheap and affordable shitty sounding Bluetooth earbuds and good ones these days at an affordable cost now. Just. Move. On.

        The only thing I have against wireless stuff is the battery. The batteries aren’t easily replaced and it’s often the death of the headphone when the battery no longer holds charge.

        It means I don’t want to spend much on wireless cans because I know they will die.

        Yep, exactly. When people hate on TWS earphones they usually only have experience with ridiculously expensive Airpods or these bulky airpods clones from AliExpress, while there are in facts lots and lots of affordable and great-sounding alternatives from brands such as Sony, Xiaomi, or Haylou; the last one being my choice

  Do you own a wired earphone?

    I do have a pair of wired headphones I use with my laptop and probably could find a pair or two of earphones I used pre-2017; what’s your point?

      Isn’t it obvious? I thought you didn’t have a pair of those, which would explain why you didn’t use the jack on your phone.

      Any particular reason you use your earphones only with your laptop?

        No, I use my laptop stationarily so the cord never bothered me, unlike when using wired earphones on the go with my smartphone
