Topic	Does your cell phone still have a headphone jack?
banananor 12/17/22 5:40:59 PM #44:	Shattered posted... I think the question is more that what makes wired headphones preferable to wireless. I couldn't imagine wiring headphones up to my phone again, I always use wireless or smart glasses. But I'm sure there has be reasons they are preferable and they just don't apply to me so I don't realize them. Only thing I can think of is charging but that really isn't an issue for me. I guess maybe sound quality is better too? Latency is a very small part of it, but my friends seem to have more issues with their smart bluetooth devices connecting to the wrong thing or just not working periodically (think earbuds connecting to car instead of phone, or smart tv instead of computer, etc) Granted, it generally only happens when they're trying to swap between devices or connect to something new, and the technology may be getting more reliable, but so far I've preferred to just not deal with it. Separately and personally, my ears just don't agree with earbuds- they trigger earwax and get gross. I like noise canceling headphones, and those make more sense to be wired- they are expensive, and the physical tether prevents me from losing them! I've been on the fence about getting wireless headphones in the future. It's impossible to have the perfect wire length for every situation, and it would be cool to be able to wander the house while still listening to whatever's on my comp --- You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured. <cite>banananor posted [p:970233772] in Does your ...
