Jack is dead, 15 Jun 2023..Lack of Jack =/= cannot use wired headphones / earphones.... moreAgreed. This whole headphone jack debate is jacksh!t. If you like wired too much, Use your headphones with a usb adapter to easily plug in the phone.

Akashi Seijuro, 15 Jun 2023It's ironic because Sony makes some of the best wirele... moreTheoretically it is true - LDAC is a great codec, Sony makes decent TWS, but you will hardly hear any difference with LDAC because quality of TWS headphones is soooo low and Sony might release a decent TWS, but utterly destroy its performance by bad tuning, low quality mics, abysmal software etc.
Or they recycle old hardware for 4 generation, or they make new generation worse and try to fix it with software ... and when it comes to Sony software, it obviously does not work.
Or they release Xperia phone and tout it has a headphone jack, but it is the bare minimum quality with weak amplifier and abysmal DAC implementation.

People moving to TWS / wireless is not because they have no options. But the flexibility that wireless brings.
On top of that, external DAC is almost always better than an inbuilt to device DAC. So for music lovers, a powerful external DAC is still preferable.
Nowadays phones have options. Like a MagSafe Battery pack (for charging), use the usb port for wired earphones. Or buy a splitter, usb charging and audio jack for listening. That saved space, brings more battery capacity, more waterproofing and etc.

It's ironic because Sony makes some of the best wireless earbuds in the market right now, and yet their very own mobile smartphones still come with a standard headphone jack for those who'd really need it or prefer using wired earphones instead.
Goes to show how much other phone manufacturers are shoving up their inferior wireless audio peripherals to their customers by forcing them to go wireless with their flagship phones.
Sony also already provides the best wireless audio quality through their very own LDAC codec, yet they're still not forcing their own customers to use it; rather, it's just giving them the option to choose.

rizki1, 15 Jun 2023Your headphone jack is useless then.Indeed, but we do not necessarily use all the options. Wired headphones often have less listening power even though I only came to wireless 2 years ago. On the other hand, I appreciate this outing for my old Toyota iQ car! I support Sony as the only Japanese mobile brand in Europe.

I look forward to buying these to replace my XM4. I hesitated with the new Technics EAH-AZ80
but it will go very well with my future Sony Xperia 1 V. I hope they will be available this summer.

You live in the 21st century and yet when it comes to latency, you still can't beat wired.
