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 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

A 3.5mm for mixing? I'm with you on all the other stuff, but that's garbage without RCA.

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

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago

There are no flights over 30 hours long, so it's irrelevant. You also cannot listen to music non stop for so long and you can charge them while you sleep on your flight.

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.

Bluetooth is compressed garbage

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But it is convenient for most people that use it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

by that logic, EVERYTHING is convenient, so why even try to change anything?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The quality is a drag, but it's the delay that bugs the hell out of me.

Are you seriously carrying a FLAC connection on your phone? Please...
