Firstly, I didn't know they got rid of the headphone hack. Second, they could have made their own wired headphones, or even include them with the phone. Third, I was planning on getting one so now I'm thinking of getting a previous phone.

No jack, no sale.

Yes. 100%. They removed the headphone jack at the same time they introduced their Bluetooth buds.

No idea, and damn didn't realize it's missing headphone jack

I have some of these headphone. They are good and I love supporting a company making things repairable.

Yess!! Awesome to hear that - been thinking about getting them. And agreed! The more we support such companies the more mainstream this hopefully becomes.

I use them every day. This is the case I keep them in: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07ZKXQB56

They look pretty good! Thanks for the tip

It's on mine too now. That said the Amazon reviews are a bit concerning. Sound quality and control sensitivity seem to be the main issues.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah damn it, have to read more into those reviews before I make a buy decision. Really wanna get them and support such a company (but still don't want a prototype-like product).

[–] Elrecoal19_0@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The thing is, apart from internal testers, customers have to test these prototype-like products too, for the company to get somewhere from feedback🫠

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

True, sadly I'm a bad tester because my standards are often low lol

[–] Valeria@feddit.kyiv.ua 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That’s on my wish list!

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

It will be on mine as well now! Here's to hoping this boosts their sales and these kinds of companies gain traction!
