3.5mm JACK on new Jolla Phone

[feathers]

might as well crosspost my reply from a different thread:

Something will be here tomorrow

Throwing in some non-audiophile reasons, just cause: They’re are easier on the wallet, and the environment - When my headphones eventually break or get lost, I’d much prefer them to be cheap to replace and use fewer resources to manufacture. No worrying about batteries - My ADHD ass would definitely run the batteries flat and forget to charge them. That, and batteries degrade over time, don’t they? With wired, I can just grab my headphones and use them, period, no extra step…

idk, all this pressure to switch is weird. I don’t see why everyone suddenly needs to switch to a more expensive, complicated, failure-prone design that provides no improvements in sound quality (and in fact drawbacks in microphone sound quality, if DankPods is to be believed).
