For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

      I can get over most of the modern crap, but I refuse to give up the 3.5mm port. Bluetooth headphones are too much of a downgrade, and adapter dongles are just something else to lose.

      I don’t understand why people love the 3.5mm port so much. Can you enlighten me?

      I’ve always been a bluetooth lover, and maybe it’s my noob ears, but I can’t tell the diff between 3.5mm sound and bluetooth sound.

        So I can use my pair of headphones for everything. They work in my phone, my DJ mixer, my computer, and the broadcast board at the radio station. They never have technical malfunctions, there is no interference, and never run out of power.

          Bluetooth it’s oh so perfect, it sounds like god playing the music himself and nothing ever takes too long to pair. I threw away my vinyl and CDs to listen to Spotify on low setting like the musicians intended

            I have a 3.5 to 1/4" adapter that screws on my headphones and use that.

            My Pioneer mixer does have a 3.5 input as well, but seems to fragile with it in it so I am there with you.

        It’s another things to charge and keep track of. Have a long flight and forgot to charge your phones? Too bad.

        The four biggest advantages for a wired headphone when compared to Bluetooth are

        1. Headphones are cheaper
        2. No lag to receive audio
        3. Headphones don’t need to be charged
        4. Easier to connect/disconnect.

        This doesn’t even touch the preference stuff, like some people prefer having a wire to avoid losing headphones, and others like wireless. Or quality, which is a can of worms I don’t want to even touch.
