 In case you haven't heard, the next iPhone might not have a headphone jack. I said in case you haven't heard, the next iPhone might not have a headphone jack. Sorry, I was listening to sweet tunes on my Sennheisers over here. Did you just say that the next iPhone might not have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack? Yes. What kind of rock have you been living under? Oh my god. Well anyway, if that happens, there are likely going to be two ways that you can listen to music on your iPhone. There might be some sort of new standard that Apple comes up with, or maybe you'll listen through your lightning port, or you can use Bluetooth headphones, which I already use. Bluetooth headphones? Oh no, you're hurting my ears. Sorry. Here are the main differences between Bluetooth headphones and wired regular headphones. The main thing to know about Bluetooth headphones is that they pair wirelessly, magically if you will, with all of your gadgets. The main thing to know about Bluetooth headphones is that they generally suck. That's not true. Well, from a quality perspective, it's taken Bluetooth headphones a while to reach adequate levels of sound quality, and even now, you're still going to get better sound from a pair of wired headphones like these. I mean, you don't see professional audio engineers using Bluetooth headphones like that, do you? Yeah, but wires. I don't have to deal with wires. Those still have a wire. The wire just goes from the earbud to the earbud instead of from the headphones to the phone. Look, let me tell you all of the things that are annoying about those Bluetooth headphones. For one, you have to charge them. I mean, who wants to wear a pair of headphones that you have to charge all the time? But battery life has gotten pretty good with Bluetooth headphones. I mean, some pairs even get up to 12 hours. Who do you know that listens to music for 12 hours straight? But then you still have to pair them, so when you get that unexpected phone call or you're running late to a conference call and you need to hop on quickly, I mean, you have to actually take the time to pair your phone with your headphones. You can't just go like this. Just one second, I'm just pairing these. Okay, yeah, but once I'm paired, I mean, I'm completely untethered. I can throw my phone in my purse or my pocket and just walk around, you know, hands free, untethered. Okay, I could see the value in being untethered, but I still don't think the tradeoffs are worth it. You know what else Bluetooth headphones are awesome for? Working out. You can still use these to work out or these. You just have to keep your phone attached. Yeah, that looks cool. Anyway, seriously, Bluetooth headphones are great for exercising. You can just tuck your phone in your pocket or your gym bag and then you can remotely control your music if your Bluetooth headphones have a little remote like this. These have a remote too, so do these, but these headphones don't get tangled. I mean, honestly, how many hours of your life have you spent untangling headphones before? You don't have to worry about that with Bluetooth headphones. These aren't, these, they don't tangle all that much. I mean, they like, it's just, well, these, these don't because they're bigger and better. Right. Listen, wireless headphones are the future. In fact, some companies aren't just making wireless headphones, they're making completely wire free earbuds that you stick into your ears and control from in there. So this is the way the industry is moving. You might not like Bluetooth headphones, but you have to admit they have their benefits and someday soon the 3.5 millimeter jack may be a thing of the past. You can stick with your Bluetooth headphones. I love my wired headphones. The sound quality is better. I don't need to charge them and if I need to use them quickly, I can just stick them in somewhere. I don't need to take the time to pair them. It's that simple. Do I need a new audio standard or an adapter in order to have this experience? I mean, not really. Sometimes I think that new technology is a solution in search of a problem. Sorry, what was that? I said sometimes I think new technologies are solution in search of a problem. I love this song. Okay. R Play.
