Definitely. Never understood why some manufacturers removed jacks

I personally prefer my bluetooth headphones, but it's not like bluetooth and jacks can't exist on the same device..

Plus, pairing bluetooth in a car can be annoying as fuck. Looking at you, Nissan

Yeah I want a headphone jack, but the truth is that I can't remember the last time I used mine. I have an old phone plugged into an old amp that I can play Spotify through, otherwise I use bt.

Yeah, they could coexist. I'm partial to non-bluetooth, but only because they come in shapes that I find more comfortable, and I've yet to find bluetooth ones that don't make my ears hurt

Money from selling true wireless earbuds was too enticing. Even Fairphone made them and removed headphone jack and spat nonsense that it was a "point of failure."

The argument was saving space for other parts. That's true in a way. But if things needed we should have this space. What's next? Saving the space of the charger? /s
