Just opinion , 27 Jun 20191) better quality - when you using mostly for youtube, watc... more1) "you will almost not feel the difference"
...which is valid for most, but what if power users - ESPECIALLY the very group of customers that wanted the Note series for that reason - want to hear "better music"? This is the sort of design, the "feel" excuse that Apple can get away most of the time, sometimes work sometimes doesn't. 320kbps is a huge difference compared to the 126kbps YouTube compresses into for all its videos.
2)"how long you are usually listening music? 5-6 hours??"
Yes, either concurrently or in one single go. I sometimes listen to podcasts about games discussion and YouTube drama and those can easily take up to 3 hours. If I ever forgot to charge it, I can't use it anymore on my commute. Wired earbuds just leech off your phone's battery directly and is simply much more convenient at this aspect. Oh and do I mention running a Bluetooth connection uses more battery than wired ones when you connect to your wireless earbuds?
3)"wireless headphones are allowed [on airplanes]!"
Correct, small mistake for the OP there.
4)"wireless is getting cheaper with every year and quality is improving as well"
And very well correct too but...
"Note series is possible to also get free wireless earphones with phone"
Seeing how well Apple did with the AirPods, I strongly believe that won't be the case, especially when Samsung is giving Apple's walled garden ecosystem a try with recent accessories like Gear VR, DeX and the Gear watches. Besides, "Pro" usually means much more expensive, so Samsung anticipated that the same customers may buy extra.

If it hurts the body so much it wouldn't even pass FCC or CE certification and will never see the light of day.
All this pushing for wireless is simply for higher profit margins, simple as.

Look, if you only like pop, hip-hop, and house music, sure you won't hear the difference. But with metal, jazz, and fusion, wired headphones will ALWAYS be superior. Case closed.

Just opinion , 27 Jun 2019Come on.... 10 people here would cry about headphone jack, ... moreI can put it in another way and say:
"Come on.... 10 people here would cry about bluetooth, others are using wired headphones for long time already."
You would complain if you're forced to use wired, right? The good news is whenever a phone has a jack or not, there's ALWAYS bluetooth in phones ever since the early 2000s. I am willing to bet in 2018 there were more phones with Bluetooth connectivity than phones with a headphone jack.
But here's the catch: adding a jack on a phone doesn't affect Bluetooth connectivity, so if you want to use a wireless earbuds on a phone with a jack, you can have it. If you the phone doesn't have a jack, bluetooth users need not worry but wired users will suffer, they're forced into using bluetooth.
Say, if one day some basterd decide to make a phone with a headphone jack but without Bluetooth connectivity at all, you will be forced to get a Bluetooth adaptor dongle or buy new wired earbuds.
You see where the problem is?

Had wireless headphones been the right solution for all, the wired headphone port would have fallen into disuse, despite the port being present. At that point, it would have been painless to remove the port.

Bluetooth is the future of wearable technology. Jack is just a old legacy port that needs to be remove ASAP, as space in a smartphone is at a premium.
With bluetooth not only you can listen to music or take a call, samsung can add sensors to the spen, or gear watch, or icon x. So it can measure your steps taken, apps notifications, extra features, that Jack can never do.
Even improvement to Jack's implementation, adding all the features of bluetooth, it still will not be worth it, as it wired tangle easily, always require your host smartphone to be nearby. With a icon x, and a smart watch, you can leave your phone behind, go for a run easily.
Jack will still live on in the USB-C port. And they will still provide the usb-c earphones for people who are poor, can only afford the phone.

2) no worries about battery - how long you are usually listening music? 5-6 hours?? Most of the people not. And you can even charge them from the phone (at least new galaxy's)
3) wireless is not allowed on airplanes. - wireless headphones are allowed!
4) wired are cheaper and come for free in the box. - they are but wireless is getting cheaper with every year and quality is improving as well. If we are talking about Note series then it is possible also get free wireless earphones with phone.
If people would care so much about points what you mentioned that apple earphones (which don't have good quality sound, not best battery, amazing expensive) wouldn't be so popular.

Big reason I buy Samsung phones is 3.5mm jack. Tech companies pushing wireless headphones for higher margins. No-one thinks about extra radiation it brings close to your head. Greed is poison.

with the removal of audio jack, i have a feeling it wont do well in term of sales. people would rather go for the s10 series as it will get cheaper by that time
