The headphone jack has a long legacy in the audio world. So when Apple decided to exclude it from the iPhone 7, consumers were up in arms. In the years since, Samsung has been a champion for those who still wanted the headphone jack. Samsung even went so far as to run a headphone jack commercial mocking Apple. But with the release of the Galaxy

I hate wireless headphones because it's just one more thing to make sure is charged.

This. So I'll just stick with wired headphones until they stop making them, which I hope is never.

Yep. I'm terrible at charging things (and if I am charging things, I will forget to take them and leave them there plugged in) and I HATE it when you're working out or walking somewhere and they die on you. BLEH.

thank you for reminding me of this, i went into this post thinking, "maybe i SHOULD try bluetooth headphones"

Bluetooth headphones are so expensive (ime) and I don't use headphones enough to justify the price (and I have tiny ear canals, AirPods wouldn't fit lol)

And I want to listen to music and charge at the same time

[allons_y42]

ugh I feel you on tiny ear canals. the iphone shape for earbuds/airpods has never worked for me. i would lost both airpods in about 5 minutes on the bus

Airpods are not supposed to go in your ear

[asa_chan]

They still can't fit into my ear
