Now, I'm having a set of studio-grade wired headphones with me, and not a single wireless headphone, let alone earbuds, can come close to their otherworldly high-quality sound, and that's with MP3 files. Give them a FLAC or WAV file and they would be left behind even further.

I mean really, unless you religiously doing your own backup on a daily basis, you are not doing any backups as you will never have an up-to-date backup on your fingertips. So my guess is, you don't have a backup.

Even Sony don't do that. Also, wireless audio still has a long way to even surpass wired audio quality.

I still keep my LG V60 for the microSD card slot and the headphone jack but honestly I could give up these two things now. I'm happy I still have them but I don't actually use them as much as I used to.

Anonymous, 07 Dec 2022Cloud storage is far more secure than any SD card. Unless g... moreAgain clueless and baseless argument to defend the marketing and google. The real reason they remove the microsd is because they want to force you using their service and product periodically, so you always pay the bill to them monthly and try to take control your data activities.
1. If the cloud service is secure than microsd, why the government, bank, and company is focused on security is rarely using thirdparty cloud service like google? because is not really secure and guarated your privacy. I have question to you, more secure place your car on parking lot provider which they claim have a lot security system or on your own house? both option have chance someone to stole your car. So pointless to argue is more secure because anytime the provider can leak it to third party or have problem on their system which can damaging your data whihout you knowing about it.
2. Even you think the cloud service guarantee you to retain your files when you still subscribe on their services. And you know sometimes their service get disturbed and have chance your file is corrupted, is just same as your own storage. So is not different with local storage solution like microsd.
3. "buy an old pixel device to get unlimited cloud storage", another lie from you.
4. "then just keep that phone at home or you can setup your own cloud backup server from your own house", why not using microsd then? why to make them more complicated just defend the marketing want? huh?
5. you say only small percentage is using microsd and jack port? the reason the majority of user are let it slide because they still have option to pick middle-low which is still have microsd slot, fm radio, and jack port. But when the vendor being pussy to remove all of their model, off course the silent user will complaining.
The reason sony is declining is not because they kept microsd and jack port, but is expensive and exclusive.
oh boy is so hilarious to see this kind of comment.
