I used to be one of the angry people pissed off about losing the jack.

Now that I have a few wireless earphones, I wouldn't go back to wired. It's a mild inconvenience to have to charge them but the battery life is decent and not have a cable getting caught on stuff whilst I'm working is super useful.

The audio quality is a tiny bit worse than wired, but unless you're an audio engineer, you're not going to notice.
