Yeah, that analogy doesn't track. But sure buddy, whatever you say.
That it should be there in the first place and that the reassons given for not including it are completely false.
At this point I'm not sure if you're trolling or just plain dumb. Either way, I'm not wasting any more of my time. Bye.
"cannot use"? Where you born without hands? Also, that "practice" is not an ancient tradition. It's an extremely simple process that takes 15 minutes. Also no, normal headphones will not "die out".
Did you forget to mention that fixing a headphone jack costs a few bucks and can be done by pretty much anyone with a soldering iron?
You did, because you're assuming that you can only choose one or the other. Even though it's been demonstrated that the headphone jack does not require much space, can even be added to phones that don't have it (check out Strange Parts on yt) and does not have any drawbacks.
That opportunity cost is not a thing.
Ok, then you're talking only about usb headphones.
If you have a dongle and it breaks, good luck fixing the cable. God forbid the dac is integrated to the headphone itself. Also, if the dac fails you're also sol. So yeah, I wouldn't call having a more expensive set up that's also more likely to fail and doesn't have any added benefits a good alternative.
The only problem I have ever had with headphones are pad/eartip degradation and cable issues. It's rare for the driver to fail.
That's in stark contrast to battery powered headphones, given thart batteries will 100% fail given a few years and they're (in most cases) not user replaceable.
Stop buying crappy earbuds then. I have IEMs and headphones several decades old that still work just fine.
My sony XM4s had to be replaced less than a year after I bought them because the fw killed the battery.
Even if the battery has a long lifespan, it's still impossible for it to match the longevity (and ease of repair) a cable has.
Moondrop Aria. $70/80, comes with a carrying case + detachable cable.
If all of your wired iems broke, you either broke them yourself or were buying very crappy iems.
Dude. The only difference between a normal headphone with a 3.5mm jack and a "usb" headphone is that the latter needs to have its own dac/amp. Guess what? YOUR PHONE ALREADY HAS THAT. Usb headphones are more complex, more expensive and not guaranteed to work indefinitely.
Removing the jack makes 0 sense.
That way you're at work during the week while not doing anything productive for yourself or the company and you then spend your free time actually working for your employer. Great idea.
Mkbhd is barely a prosumer. Dude knows his way around photography and can shoot videos well but regarding the tech itself he has little to no knowledge compared to an average "techie".
You do realize that both Chile and Argentina aren't in the image, right?
Here's a crazy idea. Maybe videogame characters are separate from you and it doesn't matter if they're male, female, non-binary, etc. I always empathized (or didn't) with characters if I found their problems/feelings relatable. Their sexuality or whatever couldn't be less important.
