  I’m right there with ya. I know many people prefer wireless earbuds, but I like ripping cables out of my ears at random. Makes me feel alive.

    Yes! I had totally forgotten about the instant pang of shock and anger I would feel when that happened.

        Idk bro I have a cheap ~40 dollar pair of Chinese wirless earbuds called tozo nc9 (t12s were also a good option iirc) and you’d be surprised how good of a product you can get for cheap these days.

        Several hour charge hold, over 48 hours of listening time with the case, noise canceling, better sound quality than most of the bass boosted budget junk put out by American companies.

        I mean wired headphones are great too, but at this point it’s become at least reasonable to get a pair of wireless.

        Yes, I get it. I would still use wired headphones, but I got bluetooth ones as a gift. And to add to your critisism, batteries die and you have to replace them around every 10 years.

    Love my pixel buds. I take them on airplanes, I clean the house with them, I take phone calls with them, and not once have I swung my hand and yanked my phone out of my hand causing it to crash to the ground. Not once have I had a damaged cable that forces one bud to cut in and out. They work great.

    I think it should always be an option to have the jack but I personally prefer wireless.

    I use my AirPods daily for 5-6 hours and still only have to charge for 20 minutes once a week. It’s really not that big of an issue

  Am I the only one that can’t stand the few hundred millisecond delay of Bluetooth audio?

    Not at all! It drives me nuts. I’ve tried watching movies with Bluetooth headphones on, so as not to bug my wife at night, and it just feels off. Almost like watching old subtitled movies. I checked it out and my headphones have a ~250ms response time. My car’s system literally has a nearly two second delay and I can’t take it.

      holy shit is that what that is??? it’s fucking awful i thought that video playback was somehow really intensive on my phone is fucky weird ways that were random and annoying.

        It seems to be worse with multiple devices in use. I tried going Bluetooth only on my work laptop, and it just couldn’t handle my keyboard, mouse, and headphones (headphones would be laggy and sometimes skip/get static).

        So for my work computer, I use wired headphones and Bluetooth everything else (I like typing with my keyboard on my lap sometimes).

  I have come to love my bluetooth earbuds… but darn when im in the car i just wanna plug my phone in some times.

    Mine just auto connects and I’m playing with Bluetooth

    • Smokeless7048@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yea, a portion of my problem is the bad implementation of Bluetooth in my 2013 Subaru Impreza.

      It just wouldn’t support Bluetooth reconnects.

      But in the end, if a friend is in the car nothing is quicker and easier than just plugging them in.

        My vehicle is from 2000 and I installed an after market Sony in it in 2010. Been using it ever since. But this was back when the system wasn’t so uniquely integrated into vehicles. It’s not really even an option in many these days.
