>wireless audio

I own a soldering iron and a shed full of components, I'll never have to stop using the 3.5mm socket if I don't want to.

F you powersaving Bastard

>>55493749

As long as it's BT 4.0 quality is fine now.

>>55493849
B-but batteries?

>>55493431
I don't buy Apple devices anyway, it's only going to extinct for macfags.
Just because Apple builds notebooks with a single USB port doesn't mean you can get plenty of other ones with multiple USB connectors, mic and headphone jack, hdmi/dp, ethernet etc.

3.5mm sucks fucking ass. I'd say at least half, if not more, of my 3.5mm to RCA cables are fucked in some way

I don't know what the alternative is (I hope it's not wireless, as my 30 year old stereos obviously don't have that), but the future can't be worse than 3.5mm

>>55493881
>I'd say at least half, if not more, of my 3.5mm to RCA cables are fucked in some way

And I say that none of mine are so perhaps the issue lays with you?

>>55493431
You know who never complained about having a 3.5mm port? Only everyone.

>>55493431
Yeah just gotta buy the 19.99€ adapter to get it back

INNOVATION

>>55493881
The future is most likely going to be wireless and USB C, enjoy

But wireless IS the future.

Sony is going wireless. Audio Technica is going wireless. Sennheiser is going wireless. Bose is going wireless. Koss is going wireless. Beats is going wireless.

It's 2016. Time to get with the times, gramps.

All hail 2.5mm audio jack!

>>55493904
I buy most of mine used (Value Village, $1 each, so I can have a few without spending a lot) so maybe that's the issue

but even then, the cables look completely fine, yet I always lose one of the channels

>>55493864

I bought a pair of $5 bluetooth head phones from some local shit chain.

Took them apart and soldered an male 3.5mm to the speaker out on it and use it on my $400 headphones. Batteries last like 11hr if you keep it playing non stop which is easily enough. It wouldn't be hard to quadruple that with a 18650 and a sled.

>>55493954
>Time to get with the times

That's not an argument. Wireless is unreliable.

>>55493980
So you use $400 cans to listen to SBC encoded audio?

>>55493974
I've got an old bakelite radio with a 2.5mm mono jack on it.

It's neat.

>>55493954
>wireless is t3h future

just like wireless mice and keyboards

>>55493974
Fuck that. 5mm is where it's at :>

>>55494014

Literally no quality difference between the hacked up BT "adapter" and running it across HDMI, 3.5mm port from on-board sound or either DAC.

>not 6.3 mm

>>55494068
There is. Audio gets encoded into an extremely bad lossy codec for bluetooth transfer.

The only escape is aptX. $5 bluetooth headphones don't support it.

>>55494021
Most peripherals use some kind of proprietary technology, like most of the garbage Logitech shits out. Bluetooth isn't the problem, the implementation or even lack of it is.

>>55493954
They just want to explore another market branch they aren't killing off the stuff they already make.

Audio technica would go bankrupt before they ever considered getting rid of cables, their shit is used on a lot of places, not just minimalist laptop meme audiophile setups.

>>55493954
Suture, because vacuum tube acoustics and electrostatic headphones went extinct

actually this feature is genuinely cool for me. how many headphones ive bought in my lifetime is kinda crazy.

>>55494356
In what way am I stuck though?
It's not like there's anything a computer lacking those things can do which mine can't is there.

>>55494088
why are there a graphic of blue intestines on that guitar?

>>55494116
Bluetooth is too battery drainy by design, at least compared to unifying.

>>55494266
Bootable USB drives are faster and have no moving parts.

At least 3.5 can be inserted any way. The future CAN get worse.

He does realize that Apple wasn't the first one to do this to laptops, right???

>>55493431
>Snapped cables
wtf are you doing with your headphones, anon?

Personally, I would like it if the USB ports can be used for audio. I believe USB can handle better transmission and output more quality sound.

I think.

I'm no electrician.

>>55494430

oh, anon.

>>55494493
usb can and is used for audio
though that also requires all the analog hardware (the dac/amp) to be in the device, as usb is digital

>>55494518
Yeah Orpheous
Literally can't exist without cables, what's your point? It's the best of the best

>>55494548
looks like i got schooled. didn't know you need that stuff to listen to audio in HQ.

thanks for the info anon!

Well, like it or not, but Apple is pretty innovative. They do something new and do it well. Then, in one year other companies start to produce things with the same features. Sometimes better, sometimes worse.

fuck proprietaty connectors and hardware.
It didn't serve Sony well, it never served anyone well.

Apple is a shit, praise chinkphones.

>>55494068
>between the hacked up BT "adapter
The difference is that you will have to have your soundchip in your headphones.
And that's not too easy with earplugs.
Not to mention you will have to charge your earphones as well as if smartphone wasn't bad enough.

Btw have you tried Snapdragon new cool sound ship?
I have, and it is AMAZING, difference like between integrated PC audio and discrete audio.
Go for it.
