And the cords break every 3 days and eventually the port gets fucked.

Having said that - I LOVE having a headphone jack.

All right I'll say it as much as I hate how expensive they are and their problems with batteries the convenience of not having to deal with a cord wins out for me. Also since these products are so expensive I generally required the quality of them to be much higher in a way I'm buying earbuds more like I would buy a pair of shoes where I wanted to last for quite a while since I used it everyday.

Whereas before I would just lose a pair of those earbuds and say f*** it they s*** anyway and pick up another one for like $3

Should people have the option still? Yes absolutely I don't think that the Jack should go anywhere it's honestly a very useful port for data input and output aside from just earbuds.

They can’t take away my iPod and its headphone jack.

I don’t lose my headphones, and they don’t lose connection. Maybe OP shouldn’t use $5 earbuds from aliexpress. As for charging, what’s the problem? It’s not like you have to ride a bicycle to generate electricity, all you have to do is put them in a box.

Wired headphones were a pain in the ass to wear with anything other than a t-shirt, and the wires always got tangled by invisible gnomes in your pocket.

I use wireless headphones even though my phone has the jack connector.

I don't think I've ever used the headphone jack on the phone I currently have. I do still use wired phones at my computer though.

I find neckbands to be a perfect compromise.

I still have a newish mid range phone with it, it runs most newer games, Zenless Zone Zero is the only that doesn't work, you just have to get comfortable with not owning Apple or Samsung.
