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 only ever use earphones when I fly, which is two or three times a year.
I have a crappy pair of earphones that I bought in a drugstore probably about ten years ago that work surprisingly well and drown out the various environmental noises on a plane.
So I have a perfectly functioning item that I own. I do not wish to be compelled to upgrade something that I use so infrequently because it’s stylish or Apple wants me to spend more money.
Dang forget having to buy replacements every couple years because the battery in your wireless headphones dies.
