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.

My sony ones survive more than a week.

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.

I have mpows that cost 60$ and pixel bud pros that cost a lot more. If I didn’t know the price of either I’d say the mpows was within 40$ of the pixel buds pro in terms of quality. The ANC works well. They last longer. But their mic is not great and they don’t have the fluffy quality of life stuff the pixels have.

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.

I haven’t had wired headphones last me more than a year. One bad snag on a cable any they’re done. 10 years is a long time.
