Bought a new one last year.

Headphone jack was a must.

I thought everybody's using AirPods these days? or at least Bluetooth, everybody has transitioned to Bluetooth, right?

[โ€“] ripcord@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I try Bluetooth every couple of years but it still sucks so much.

It amazes me how after 30 years and a million spec improvements, it still fails so often for me at basic things. Connecting consistently (and quickly), pairing consistently (and quickly), etc.

I know it's partly just some terrible, cheap implementations of Bluetooth that are to blame, but I don't care. I plug in headphones, they work. That's what I want headphones to do. Not have to worry about charging, and being dirt simple are an added bonus.
