Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?

  Wireless headphones have to be charged so often, it’s just annoying. Good old trusty wired headphones never need to be charged.

    For larger models, replaceable batteries would improve this situation a lot. Of course that would hurt the manufacturers’ planned obsolescence strategy.

    A decent pair can charge enough for hours in minutes. When they about to die, pop one out and into the case, let it charge until the one in your ear is dead or dying, swap them out, 10 minutes and you’re back to stereo for a few hours.

      I can get 2-3 days of use out of my wireless before they absolutely need to be charged. They’re not the best sound quality out there, but they have the features I need for my situation.

        If they were wired I bet you’d have to untangle them more often than you currently charge them

    Not so true. I use a set of “wireless” where the two ears are connected around the back of my neck. (A pair of beatx). These have 12hr battery and I listen a lot. I only kill the batteries on long ski days (the cold probably bring the battery life down a bit).

    All my complaints at this point are lack of options in this mostly perfect form factor.

    (Better fit in my ears, better sound, etc). This isn’t a wired/wireless problem.

  my headphone wires break all the time due to heavy use

  Some wired headphones have a detachable cable. Large ones use a 3.5mm jack on both ends, but there are standards for small ones.

    Hell, every set of wireless headphones I’ve had (not earbuds) had a detectable cable as well. I use both modes frequently my sonys

  my headphone wires break all the time

  Are these detachable wires? Because I used to kill headphones all the time tripping over their wires but since I started getting ones with the 3.5 mm jack on the headphone side that hasn’t happened since.
