I&#x27;m not attached sentimentally to any cables. I&#x27;d love for audio, volume, skip, and microphone functionality to work with all my devices and all my headphones. Would it be annoying to lose compatibility (or require a converter) for all my existing speakers and headphones? Of course. I&#x27;d still take that penalty if it meant the overall experience was better and eventually more consistent.<p>Frankly I&#x27;m not sure 3.5mm is going to survive in the mainstream anyway. Bluetooth might eventually replace it for mainstream use cases.
