Oh no, my phone has a headphone jack, which means I can't use wireless headsets!

      In other words each and every large electronic store have palces where you can dispose small and medium electric and electronic devices for safe disposal which is not harmfull for environment.

        Nice claim, too bad you don't provide any proof like every other claim you make.

        "Whathewer you say companies will do what brngs em more profit and thus wireless audio is a very easy winner here."

        A company taking out something to force you to buy something else in order for them to make more profit does not mean the new product is better.

        If companies started taking out ports, does that mean having no ports (including charging port) is better?

        Man in case of claim even a singers use wireless mic because they can dance and sing on the stage at a same time which is not possible with stationary one.

        And if company for example apple ditched jack means they going to researcha nd develop and focus more on wireless thus wired is not necessary. Same goes for their wireless charger where wired one is litterary equally laughable slow like every apple charger.

            SuuperBaka, 14 Dec 2022"Man yes last brand giving useless features from the p... moreJack and SD slot.
            Since they are mecanical parts good for castching dust and moisture they are useless.
            They are bad for water resistance and thus got removed.
            SD slots i mean SD cards easily breaks when often used i mean plug in and out from the phone. So your data is lost.
            Just 5 years ago maybe 6something like Redmi 4X had 64GB disk space 4GB of ram and price of 160 euros.
            Even 2 years before releasing redmi 4X most phones had 8 to 16GB of disk space.
            TB is costly now but in like 3-4 years phones will have 4 maybe 8TB and even a low grade phone will come with 1-2TB of disk space.
            Thus the SD card is meaninggless.
            USB C adapter, OTG cable cloud storage and many else is a better solution to this problem. But best way is to give big disk space cheaper.
            Soon even this will be possible.
            Wirelless in terms of stability and in any other terms is better and it was few years ago depends on product you use.
            Buying 2 eur wireless buds from Alliexpress or wish site is not the same like buying quality one from JBL or BOSE.
            Noone takes me seriously here because people believes to a fake lies like wired is better when cables are first thing to breaks then your device is done for and your warranty is good for nothing since it was your fault.
            Please if you really want to educate me be at least serious with your claims and stop writting funny oh looking nonsense.

Electronic waste in landfills would be one of the biggest challenge in recent future. when chemicals from electronics and batteries end up in their food and cause cancers and other diseases, they would still wonder, non-replacable batteries are better, wireless earphones are better. The trend of being dum* is contagious.

Even in ear monitors can be junk. It is great or not depends on many things. Like driver size impedance tuning... But brand and price aren't always important.

                        Sole reason today why Sony phones have a jack is a microphone input first and headphones second. They will never upgrade dac inside a phone because it will harm their android Walkman.

                          Alex 94, 14 Dec 2022Now yes, but it wasn't a case before.Yeah but back then people were just interested in buying cool new phones and Sony's brand image was strong, also their phones were a bit cheaper too. Now they make uber expensive phones with some fatal flaws that just doesn't seem appetizing for 99% of people.

                                  OMG, I checked the Xperia 1 IV two days ago, I fellin love again with Sony phones... But it won't change my mind about getting one until they fix their security update period (make it at least 5yrs)...
                                  And it was so gorgeous, I really love it.

Everything goes into a landfill boss. Eventually wireless buds with batteries that are virtually irreplaceable will land there too.

                                      Can't say the same about wireless earbuds and aged batteries.
