No engineering limitations, or copying more successful companies, Andy doesn't like ports, so they purged the headphone jack.

                                    Although the Essential PH-1 is completely new, so generally only enthusiasts know about it so far. But on the other hand, if it will be strongly advertised, then gradually it will make some more sales, etc. And because after all as a first (on paper) impressions, it sounds pretty promising. Thus the more healthy competition the better.
