Sure, but whatās the use case at this point anyway?
āMy bluetooth headset ran out of battery and my phone ran out of battery and I want to listen to music.ā How often does that really happen?
Bluetooth is less cumbersome than all of these choices, but for under a tenner you can solve all these drawbacks. Whack it in a pocket of your travel bag with your earbuds and away you go. I genuinely couldnāt even tell you the last time I saw somebody in real life with wired headphones. My bluetooth AKGs actually have a headphone socket, that Iāve used exactly twice. Once to watch an in flight movie on a 480p screen on the back of a headrest, and again to use them with my Switch since for some bonkers reason it didnāt support bluetooth headphones for ages, despite having a BT receiver on board. No idea where the cable is for them now. I doubt Iāll need it again.
I travel 8+ hours by train several times a week, and regularly go a day or two without access to power where I sleep. By all means, Iām not the average consumer, but the situation of āneed to change while also wanting to use my headsetā comes up often enough.
I see your point but, isnāt this more cumbersome than wired earbuds/headphones?
