Samsung’s Galaxy S9 looks set to retain the headphone jack
I've not used a wired headset since I stopped gaming several years ago. Sony's bluetooth headphones have very good noise cancellation and very good sound quality. It's not quite as my old JVC HA-RX700 wired headphones.<p>I understand how audiophiles might really enjoy that quality gap, but beyond that niche market, I don't get it.<p>My bluetooth headphones even have wires to plug into 3.6mm / airplane connectors as well.<p>It seems that most people don't care about the headphone jack given companies have decided to ditch them en-mass. Certainly online forums give a voice to those that still want it, but I've not read any comments that seem to be valid for <i>ME</i>.<p>Problems I've seen described:
* connecting to airplanes (I have connectors on my bluetooth headphones)
* not wanting to use multiple dongles (bluetooth has no dongles)
* pairing sucks (modern bluetooth versions don't have the pairing issues of old. I don't have to repair to get it to connect. I just hold the button and tell it to connect to the already-paired device and it works every time.)
* "Considering the prices of bluetooth headsets, bluetooth ubiquity for audio will still remain a niche for the rest of the world." - bluetooth is CHEAP. high quality bluetooth are definitely more expensive than high quality wired.<p>Are there any arguments that I've not seen?
