    The reason wireless earbuds took off is that phones with headphone jacks stopped getting made.
    Consumers didn’t prefer wireless earbuds. They preferred thinner and more water-resistant phones.

      I personally switched to wireless back when my phone still had a headphone jack. It’s just the better overall experience for me, and I suspect that I’m not alone in that. I’m going to continue arguing for manufacturers to keep including a headphone jack, but it’s not because I prefer wired headphones personally.

      Lol, people downvoting you like they weren’t manipulated into spending 10x as much for a product that can’t be repaired, all in the name of profit.
