I refuse to get a phone without a headphone jack. Mostly because I know I'm inevitably going to lose my headphones, forget to charge them, forget them in my trouser pockets that will go in the wash. The latter has happened at least a couple of times with my current headphones and they still work just fine. Try that with your Bluetooth pair and let me know how it goes.
My Bluetooth bone induction headphones survived a month in the bottom of a dishwasher.
As soon as you stop having a cord get caught on everything in your life and get used to pausing/playing with a tap to the ear it all clicks.
But yea the raycon/airpod models don't appeal to me.
That’s impressive, do you remember which headphones those were?
Aftershocks treks titanium. Eventually the inductor on one side got stepped on. It still worked but didn't fit around my ear well. I've had their open run for like? 5 years now? still works great. I charge it maybe once a week and listen to it for around 20 hours a charge. Usually don't even turn it off when I'm not using it. Just hit the phones Bluetooth cuz that's still in my hand.
Oh they rebranded to shokz
