We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
For all the shit Bluetooth audio and devices get it for fucking sure was better than the past with how they’re less likely to break, how they’re more convenient, and how modern batteries allow them to work for over a day without charging
Last I saw a worthy earbuds with cables was with a luxury brand that allowed you to disconnect from cables, and have braided cables so that it wouldn’t rip, with a comfortable design that prevented tangling, with the cost of it being heavy.
It costed three times more than the next Bluetooth device with no comprehensive improvement to audio quality.
