I used to swear by wired headphones.

The audio quality, not needing batteries, the simplicity.

But then I got a decent pair of Bluetooth headphones and I discovered how much wires got in my way. I discovered that the audio quality coming out of phones were garbage regardless of connection type, and the headphones I got would last weeks of daily use on one charge.

Plus I would get a more water proof phone, and I would never have to worry about the headphone jack breaking inside of the port, or my headphones going flying off because I walked past a knob of whatever at just the right height to ruin my day.

I still want phones to have the ports, but on mobile devices I'll never use them. I just want others to be happy too.

I have inside pockets added so that I can deal with the wire issue. Makes for a better place to carry the phone anyway.

My old Moto G3 was the only real waterproof phone, whatever you have I bet you take it out of your pocket to swim, and guess what, it had a headphone jack.
