Or them getting rid of the headphone jack.

it's stupid

it's fucking stupid

100% stupid.

I think it's a good move. Bluetooth is becoming the standard, they're just getting ahead of the game.

no it's stupid as hail

So don't buy one?

I'm gonna, because I hate cords and no headphone jack means one less place for water/dirt to get in.

enjoy your $150 proprietary earbuds that last 5 hours and probably won't even sound good loooooooooooooooooooooool

I won't be buying those. Got a perfectly good pair of Bluetooth earbuds already, thanks!

Except that Bluetooth audio is fucking garbage. For as much as people claim it's made large strides, even a shitty pair of earbuds you get from the drug store offer better sound, a million times cheaper.

I'm not an audiophile. I can't even hear a difference between 128 or 192 bitrates, so the difference in sound quality is a non-issue to me.

It's not about being an audiophile, though. Bluetooth is damned near unlistenable-- it's tinny and flat even to "untrained" ears, and that's not my opinion alone. Why would you want to pay so much for something so genuinely bad? I can't wrap my head around it. You might as well throw $150 into the street.

My Bluetooth earphones sound fine to me. I have no idea what you're even on about.

It's only $150 if you want Apple-branded stuff. You can get a very good pair of Bluetooth earphones for $40-$50 if you know where to look.

That's still way too much, imo. You can get earphones for $15 that are better.

Honestly, it's just annoying me that the choice is being forced-- you may not care about sound quality, but I (and I'd venture the majority of people) do, at least enough that it's going to be a noticeable downgrade. It's singlehandledly making me switch from Apple to Android. I disagree with you that Bluetooth is where audio is heading.

Lol, you have bad ears then. My $70 bluetooth ear buds sound quite good, so muc so in fact that I literally have to pay attention to someone if I wanna hear them.

Doesn't sound tinny or flat at all. Especially after I mess with my phones equalizers in the music app.

You must be tone-deaf. There's not an audiophile in the world who'd recommend bluetooth headphones. They're great if you can't walk without tripping on a cord, but that's about it. They're the velcro of the headphone world.

not planning on getting something without headphone jacks

No. I like over ear ones because those ones hurt and irritate my ears and easy lost.

If I wanted a cordless one I'd have bought it too, but cordless ones quality still not up to scratch so fuck that.

$229 for tiny little earphones with a 5 hour battery life?! Fuck that

Oh, dang. I was wondering why people where mad at wireless headphones (they seemed useful to me) but now I can see why. Jesus, that's pricey and stupid.

*Tinny

I already lost them just by looking at a picture of them.

lol, accurate.

It's like all those flash drives getting smaller and smaller. Like, sure, they're great and awesome, from a purely technical POV, but what use is a flash drive smaller than a fingernail if it's gone the second you sneeze in its general direction?

One more reason for me to avoid Apple products.
