I'd be almost ready to say that we don't need them any more if Bluetooth headphones were about 100x better and cheaper

    At the same time, wired earphones/headphones are already just as good with a lot less parts/complexity.

    You don't need batteries, radios, and chips for coding/decoding a signal coming out of a headphone jack. You can just plumb it straight into the speakers. No need to mess with controls and all of that, which would make them a lot cheaper.

    Don’t forget how new Bluetooth headphones require that you download an app to set up the headphone. So a whole new data harvesting broker forces itself right where an audiojack used to be.

    Check on the AppStore’s the kind of personal data one has to handover to tune the headphones. Total fuckery!
