You know what, I ranted below, but I agree with you.<p>I suppose it depends on if the adapter type is an open standard, or even a royalty free patent.<p>I don&#x27;t really want to be relegated to wireless headphones, but if they licensed another connector type freely then android and other laptops could use the standard and that would be pretty cool. 3.5mm would just be &quot;the old standard&quot;, and I&#x27;m ok with that, as long as we transition to something everyone agrees on, or is objectively better.
