Fairphone 5 - The Ars Technica Review - Lemmy.world

With no headphone jack thats gonna be a no for me dawg. How can they promote sustainability and then design a product that is going to be unusable in 5 years max. That’s just the reality of all wireless headphones. The battery will fail to hold charge and they will become useless. Not the truth for wired headphones. Goodwired headphones will last as long as you’re able to take care of them usually
Just leave one of these on your headphones and you’ll never know the difference.

I don’t want to. And I don’t want to carry one around with me everywhere. I use several different types of wired headphones. Plus the convenience of being able to plug into basically any sound system is unmatched. Still plenty of cars that just use aux cords. Plenty of speaker systems that are easier to connect to with a headphone cord and sound better.

And my final point is there is no practical reason to remove it it is just as easy to waterproof and it does not take up that much space.

I’m with you. Guess what sometimes I have a call and my Bluetooth buds are charging or not in the same room. Guess what I have connected to my computer? A headset. Guess what isn’t easily plugged into my phone! This headset! I’ve had dongles die on me too man.

I hate that all phones have removed them. Screw Apple for this trend. I wish Apple had the balls and removed them from the laptops too. Would have loved to see that backlash.

Based on the responses people are too ignorant for that to ever happen.
