Maybe I'm just unlucky but half the time I buy headphones or a PC and the jack or the plug on the headphones itself is busted and doesn't even work.
I can't count the times I've plugged in a headset and only one side works.
Or I get to do the magic barely push it inside the jack maneuver and then I can finally listen to both speakers in my headset.
Or even the, I need to bend the cord in just the correct way to get them both to work.
So say what you will about apple (I don't like them much myself) but getting rid of that jack was a godsend to me and I don't get the love for it. I've had too many break over my 30 years of living to ever want it back.
Stop being a cheapass and getting equipment that is broken.Because it's a terrible input. The last two laptops I've bought the microphone jack was broken out of the box. And the last 3 40$ headphones iveI purchased had the left or right speaker stop unless I positioned them in just the right way.
It's like people never considered a proper transition would be to have some device that allows you to externally do the thing we've been doing for years now. But not a single android manufacturer has been able to create a USB C to USB c+ 3.5 mm dongle yet. Sony apparently has one that works only with select phones.Don't be a cunt. This transition would suddenly make all my headphones useless. I'm not suddenly in 5 years time going to go, ah well. Time to buy a load more new + headphones!
I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.

Usb-c made my micro USB cords useless, but I'm much happier than if they stuck with it because it was inferior in every way.Don't be a cunt.

Why do you need two? Ridiculous! My phone charges 70% in half an hour; it never runs out of battery.
A better digital solution to a digital system makes sense. 3.5 is analog and needs no further improvement, it's why it has never been improved and never will be.Usb-c made my micro USB cords useless, but I'm much happier than if they stuck with it because it was inferior in every way.

Why not. 5-10 years tend to be shelf life for 99% pairs of headsets. Either from something better coming out or wear and tear.
For the majority of people that buy dollar store earbuds once an old pair breaks, do you seriously believe the dollar store won't have replacement USB-C ones. Fuck, I can go on amazon right now and buy a couple sub $8 pairs. Which is only marked up because it's Amazon Canada.
Once you have a pair you wont notice the difference. Because once again, it's the transition people are complaining about. Not the technology
Congratulations. You are the 1% of Aux headphone users.lmao
Nah. I've got several pairs of decent headphones, one set is about 18 years old. Still excellent. For those of us who don't just spent a few quid on cheap sets (although those have their uses too), sudden obsolescence isn't something to cheer for.
Are you too young to have taken part in a technology transition or are you still rocking VHS?Don't be a cunt. This transition would suddenly make all my headphones useless. I'm not suddenly in 5 years time going to go, ah well. Time to buy a load more new + headphones!
To me is like component vs hdmi. Digital input is just the future for everything and I welcone it. Id never go back to component cables either.A better digital solution to a digital system makes sense. 3.5 is analog and needs no further improvement, it's why it has never been improved and never will be.
Man you're just full of bullshit comparisons today, eh?To be is like component vs hdmi. Digital input is just the future for everything and I welcone it. Id never go back to component cables either.

Lets not put this solely on Apple stans, most phones are moving away from 3.5 now. Apple started it but everyone is embracing it without actually pushing an equivelant replacement.Repurchasing my VHS collection on DVD or Bluray had obvious benefits. The quality is better. What benefits are there to removing 3.5? Aside from the smug satisfaction of Apple stans?

You're right though, people would have been pissed if DVDs looked worse than VHSes and cost more.
Congratulations. You are the 1% of Aux headphone users.
For the vast majority of people, they go cheap or sub $50 and replace it when it breaks or starts acting finicky.
And the files are digital. So you'll be converting back to analogue regardless. Unless you still cary around mixtapes.

this is the shit that gets meRemember all the threads and complaints before Apple removed the headphone jack? Me neither.
Maybe Apple's greatest archivement. Creating a problem out of nothing.
I wonder how Samsung fans are going to feel next year if this happens: It's rumored that the S10 will be removing the headphone jack.

To be honest, removing the jack and pushing wireless would be like removing HDMI and pushing wireless and then claiming sub-720p is good enough quality for 99% of people.To me is like component vs hdmi. Digital input is just the future for everything and I welcone it. Id never go back to component cables either.
Some people are just fans of technological progress. Of which, a truly universal port is technological progress.It's just sad to see people take up a 'crusade' to fix a problem that isn't there.
