Industry crush with 3.5mm headphone jack


The headphone jack removal drama brings back dreadful memories of the early camera phones I've owned. Back then, you always needed some weird proprietary dongle from Samsung or Sony to use regular headphones. These dongles usually had issues of falling out or losing contact when wiggled. And eventually I've lost every single one of them.

I was so incredibly happy when I got my first phone with a normal friggin 3.5mm headphone jack. My music playing experience has been perfectly fine since then and I can't believe that anyone would want to go back to the dongle madness of the 90s-early 00s. "The ones who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it." Right?!

Bluetooth headphones ? I find the worst thing about bluetooth audio, which I rarely ever seen talked about is the latency. I see people mentioning audio quality concerns and it dropping signal, but the worst aspect as got to be the delay.

I will certainly keep buying phones with headphone jacks for the foreseeable future. What about you ?
