LockeMonster 09/16/18 3:48:27 AM #39:	All phones will lose it eventually. Moto, Google and Apple are already out. You wannabe nerds need to look at things outside your niche perspectives. Audiophile sound quality is not something the general public gives a fuck about and all these BT sports headphones are huge right now and people are switching over whether their phone supports 3.5mm or not. Most mid tier ones sound amazing, despite there being way better wired ones. xBloodBrotherx posted... Anarchy_Juiblex posted... At this point, don't most people in the apple ecosystem already have them? Wouldn't not packaging them with the phone theoretically reduce the overall price and reduce waste? Most people in the Apple ecosystem already have a lightning charger, they should just stop packaging chargers with the phones to reduce price and waste.

Eh, if you're willing to spend that sort of money on a phone you can get with the times and buy bluetooth headphones lol Bluetooth headphones are objectively worse than wired ones How is that? Only bad thing is that they need to be charged. And easy to lose them. Quality of music is absolute shit compared to wired ones. Not to mention due to the introduction of rechargeable batteries you'll eventually see yourself needing to replace them within the next few years as often as your phone. As someone who's had AKG K240s, for example, for almost a decade now I can't imagine needing to replace my headphones as well every two years. Quality is fine, if you are willing to pay a premium. I have V-Moda Crossfade 2s, and I love them. Any difference between wired and unwired is audibly less than 5%, and I am a musician so I really nitpick sound quality. Bluetooth used to be a lot worse than it was but the protocols have gotten much better. --- Remember kids, Jesus died for your sins.
