a side effect of the not putting a jack on nearly all devices for the last 3+ years thanks to them all, apart from sony, slowly copying the mad fruit even with mid and lower range devices. i miss being able to use my awesome senheisers i spent a bucketfull on because of this awfull trend.

          Don't know collecting tws earbuds is a hobby or not but I like to do it every now and then. Both high end and midrange and low end ones. Currently have ten pairs. From these brands. Samsung. Bose. JBL. Beats. OnePlus. Soundcore. 1More. Edifier. CMF. EarFun. Waiting for my next pair. Was torn between Sennheiser and Technics. But ignored both and ordered Beyerdynamic. Very funny that I like both balanced and bassy pairs.

            Anonymous, 22 May 2025TWS are perfectly fine for travel which is what they are fo... moreI get the concern over removed 3.5mm jack from phones nowadays, but people forget that even back in the amateur phone days, most people were rocking MP3 players, Walkmans, iPods and other types of audio players, despite all phones containing 3.5mm jacks and stronger audio setups. The issue is that people complain for the sake of complaining than utilizing other alternatives. MicroSD is another example, but vast majority of people are content with 256 GB and up storages, defeating the point of microSD when they can transfer to computer/tablet via USB cable. Again, it's mostly internet complaining, never seem anyone genuinely give much disappointment over those removed features in real life as TWS provides good benefits over wired + audio tech is improving on TWS making them a worthwhile consideration.

              There are many good TWS out there, but OWS can never be remotely as good without proper seal and isolation.

Don't have to be so snobby, you sound like the forum lurkers that unironically call themselves "audiophiles" despite using an unbalanced, mediocre ~$100 system. Probably one of the annoying users that cry they want 3.5mm jacks in their phones despite having no idea how Android destroys audio, that absolutely love the V30 because other uninformed users love it, despite it having a mediocre sound profile.
                I can go on, but you get the picture, being a snob is annoying, but being an uninformed snob is even worse.
