I miss physical buttons for when I'm listening to music.
Having to unlock my phone to skip a track or advance a podcast is really annoying.
I used to be able to click a button in my pocket. I could even slide a bit to skip forward and back 30 seconds.
I also like to listen to music in bed in the dark. The bright screen, the messing around with the unlock, really breaks the flow.
Yes I have earphones that are touch sensitive, but poking it messes with any good isolated fit I've achieved, the touch doesn't always register and after a while, one ear starts to hurt. Especially when you need to tap three times to restart a track.
I've now got this stupid setup with a BT dongle in a usb a-c converter; which plugs into my phone and controls a tiny physical keyboard.
There are lots of mp3 players, but they don't support streaming platforms. The ones that do, also went mainly touch screen only and cost a fortune. There is one physical Spotify player with buttons but it's just a dumb cube with very basic functionality.
Most decent headphones still seem to have physical buttons. The big ones. With earbuds you're kinda out of luck
Wat. The decent headphones are industry standard dt770 and certainly have no buttons.
Ah well I'm just a pleb with a pair of QC45 lol, not expensive enough to have whatever shitty touch thing some new expensive headphones have.
You said decent headphones. That excludes earbuds
