People arent going back, we never switched to wireless to begin with.

This. But wired headphones are never coming back, most phones (ie. the thing 99% of people use their headphones the most for) don't even have headphone jacks anymore.

Though Wired headphones do have legitimate merit beyond just being hipster. The most important one being if you need a cheap pair of headphones, a wired pair will be much better than a bluetooth version at the same price, until you get way up to the expensive stuff, in which the difference probably isn't notable. If you aren't buying something at like, AirPods level of quality, you're probably better off with a wired pair for the price.

There's also needing to charge them. I forget all the ****ing time to charge my Samsung Buds Live that they are basically useless a lot, and I have my headphones in like, all the time. A wired pair fits my needs way better.

I also don't think the extra convenience is that much more than the convenience of putting the wire through my shirt or something so i can just let my earbuds hang if not in use.

Also the airpods are one of the least recyclable things in Apple's lineup. Its not like they care that much about the environment, but they can't even strip airpods for parts really. Pretty much just need to throw those out entirely.

Wireless headphones have plenty of value for sure, but I would've greatly preferred in I could still use wired headphones without needing to go out of my way to find a specific phone to fit my interests. Its a headphone jack, it shouldn't be this rare.
