Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?

    I shouldn’t have to pay more to access basic functionality.

    I fully agree. I’m not defending getting rid of headphone jacks, I’m just saying that workarounds that allow charging exist and luckily the 10 or so Euro/Dollars is not that bad.

      When I’m on the go I much prefer wireless, no cables to impede my movements and the quality loss gets nullified by ambient noise, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy Hi-fi audio anyway so I keep my headphones and DAC home where I have all the bandwidth in the world and the silence to enjoy the quality of the recordings and of my cans.
