I have a standard schematics for all the audio companies should follow suit.
1. Solar panels for 18/7 charge
2. Has USB-C with QuickCharge 3 capabilities
3. Has a headphone jack port if you have a co-axial
4. State of the art but cheap DAC
It's easy for them to do that. Miniaturization is common these days so please make it happen! Oh yeah, for the Wired headphone uses who don't want to be left out, make a wireless adapter to select it on your headphone like my ATH-M50x and connect that with your phone.

manta, 31 Aug 2018Since my first wireless like two years ago (thanks Sony) I ... morenice, but those headphones could be used on a phone that has a headphone jack. Now why should they remove it?

Al-Aqsa Lover, 31 Aug 2018Sorry Qualcomm, uses too much energy, 3.5mm all the way.you are right, why would they remove it? They could implement their new Bluetooth thing in a phone that has a headphone jack.

Here goes this stupid trend of wireless earphones. If you're into music, you should know the difference in quality between a bluetooth and a 3.5 jack earphone.

If only someone made wireless earbuds that would last more than 8 hours and wouldn't be useless the next day if you forgot to charge them..

LOL. Bluetooth is still wildly unreliable. Who cares about quality if connectivity is still limited and latency is still an issue?

unless all phone shipped with free bluetooth headphones, to get rid of wired headphones is just to ask ppl to spend more money for bluetooth headphones that last only few hours and need to recharge. why fixing something that isnt broken?

Since my first wireless like two years ago (thanks Sony) I will never go back. No tangled cables, noise cancelling, NFC pairing...

Mobilemaster, 31 Aug 2018I am not sure if this is indeed a good idea. Today's Blueto... moreMy headphones have 25hr battery, and support 24bit 48hz music over Bluetooth, they are great but I prefer wired

Not interested, unless it's a lossless codec.
