I can't wait until Phil Schiller tells us about the all new white balance aperture using the A14 bionic chip in the iPhone 11S Max for 35 minutes at their Keynote in September.

Well those people that were shitting on Apple for ditching the headphone jack....

Am I the only one who doesn't care about an extra quarter inch at the top of the screen

It's getting to the point where all of the main phones are getting rid of it. I'm gonna have no choice but to retire my wired headphones, it fucking sucks and really pisses me off

I'm just gonna keep my S8 till it no longer functions

Be prepared to wave goodbye to the headphone jack.

Is this when people start defending it

ayyy lmao

I love my S8 but I'm NOT buying such a large phone especially if it still has a hole punch in it. Samsung should call me back when they make something closer to five inches without an ugly camera hovering literally inside the screen.

Why wouldn't you? Wireless headphones have shitty audio quality compared to wired ones. Then again, people run around with Beats and think because other people can hear what they're listening to means the headphones are good.

I'm going to be completely honest about the headphone jack situation.

For years I defended its corner. It felt like paying more for less when apple removed it.

Then I got my sony wh1000xm3 headphones and I can't even remember why I felt so strongly about it. These things have the best sound and the bluetooth virtually never drops out. With a decent phone the bluetooth does not significantly drain battery.

The reasons for keeping a headphone jack seem to be disappearing, because I can't remember needing one.

Defending the lack of a headphone jack, not defending the actual concept of a headphone jack.

Looks like my Note 10.

Oh, my bad.

Also it's stupid that the headphone jack has been eliminated, now that I have a phone without it. I basically don't even listen music on my phone anymore. Congrats, phone makers.

That's not always true. We live in a world with codecs like Aptx, Aptx-HD, AAC, LDAC. Good bluetooth will beat a shitty jack in sound.

The battery will be 4,500 mAh, so glad.

I really hope my S9 can last me at least a few more years.

lmao what? Is keeping your headphones charged THAT difficult for you?
---

I went through two 7 hour flights listening to my bluetooth headphones and had 60% battery left. I get a week or two out of normal use. It takes about 30 minutes to fully charge with USB-C. Total non issue.

Kind of like myself, I suspect much of the resistance to wireless headphones is stubbornness over actual reasons. I mean a lot of the people who argue about sound quality are listening to spotify music on $20 earplugs, lol

---

My biggest headphone frustration is that the jack in my laptop is shitty and the slightest movement will mean my wired headphones no longer connect properly.

Ok here's a very good point. When you have a shitty laptop with a shitty integrated soundcard, your sound quality on a jack will be much worse than bluetooth (which can be improved with software updates). I mean on my crappy laptop I can literally hear artifacts and background noise from the in-built microphone when trying to listen to things.

That's not even to mention problems with the jack itself.

It's buying quality new ones that's the issue.

Are you arguing "good" wireless over a shitty pair of wired? Obviously those are better but I'm not talking about $20 headphones or those garbage wired headphones that came with the phone. I stopped using those kinds of headphones years ago once I started getting into audio.

---

Which headphones are good? Mine are about $15.

I've been using bluetooth headphones at work for a couple years and have no desire to go back

I'm arguing that a jack isn't automatically better than bluetooth just because it's wired, because a phone with a bad sound card or shitty jack may not produce better sound even if you have a quality pair of wired headphones. Bluetooth technology has advanced sufficiently and doesn't rely on the limitations of hardware.

When using good wireless headphones with advanced bluetooth, I think the quality of sound is better than most people are used to and really only becomes a matter of contention for proper audiophiles. In which case, listening to music while travelling (and from a phone, probably off a streaming service) is probably not really when you need the best quality of sound.

There is a dongle for headphones so I'm gonna go with that option.

I'm not walking around with anything connected to my skull wirelessly.

I'd rather have two inch bezels than no headphone jack. Sucks because I'm in need of an upgrade (S7 here) and I'm most likely gonna get this shit unless someone makes something good with a headphone jack.

Wireless headphones are lame.
---

What about plugging AUX into your mates old car while driving around?

---

There are 3 things I need a good phone to have.

1. A perfect 16:9 rectangle for a screen with nothing intruding on it.

2. A headphone jack.

3. A tactile home button.

My S7 still works fine, but I dread the day I need to upgrade.
---

Some of you guys will be holding onto your devices forever then. The headphone jack is slowly becoming extinct and it ain't coming back. Need to get with the times.

As for me, I'm in no particular hurry to upgrade my S10+. Call me when the S13 drops.

The tactile home button doesn't matter that much tbh, my S8+ works perfectly well and it has the home button under the screen.

I feared the removal of the home button but the onscreen one has worked pretty well.

The S10 still has a 3.5 jack. I'll probably pick that one up, throw some SD memory in it and keep it until it falls apart. I'm never buying airpods if I can help it.

Are the galaxy pods any good?

I got a pair with my S10 but I've never used them.

Well no shit they're pointless if you don't own an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

I don't trust that thing to work if an app freezes. My tablet has a digital home button, and it's a nightmare to work with when it matters most.

Or whatever the equivalent is for other phones. I'll lose those things immediately, and they don't last long enough for a long day of travel.

That was my concern for years, but I've had no problems since getting these Galaxy phones with the digital home button.

What's such the big deal about getting a five dollar USB C dongle to get your precious headphone jack?

As long as Android keeps expandable storage via microSD, then I'm good. If that ever gets phased out, I will be a sad Panda.

Just another thing to lose and remember to bring.

How many GB do you need?

Well, my music collection is currently sitting at 69.7GB. Add that, plus apps and their updates, videos & photos that will undoubtedly require more space as we hit higher quality technology in phones...as much as I can expand to. I've already upgraded to a 512gb card for my S8+.

Oh my. I've only used 28GB on my phone after a year.

Can't use headphones and charge at the same time with that thing. And as already stated, it's easy to lose.
