Was ditching the headphone jack a good idea?
I was totally on the hate train with how ridiculous it was to remove the headphone jack, and how unnecessary Bluetooth headphones were...<p>...but once I got my first pair of Bluetooth headphones and realized I never need to deal with tangled&#x2F;frayed&#x2F;broken&#x2F;caught wires again, I&#x27;m never looking back. Charging turned out to be, surprisingly, a non-issue.<p>I&#x27;m totally convinced Bluetooth headphones are the way forwards, and it&#x27;s silly to have a jack for old tech. And for the small x% of the time or x% of the users where things like latency or line-out are needed... there&#x27;s a dongle, it works perfectly, and it&#x27;s fine. And if you need to charge at the same time, get a dongle that charges at the same time.<p>That&#x27;s the whole <i>point</i> of dongles -- a smaller&#x2F;simpler device for 90-99% of people, at the cost of a tiny bit more expensive&#x2F;complex solution for the remaining 1-10%.<p>Feels like the right tradeoff to me.
