I don't see bluetooth headphones very often, so I can't see why manufacturers are trying to force this. There has to be some driving force behind it, like Google putting it in some new guideline for Android devices like they did with telling manufacturers not to implement Qualcomm's new QuickCharge standard.

So what happens when they become another windows mobile thing?

At the rate their market share is dropping that should be pretty soon.

How can you see into my eyes, like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb, without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

Wake me up, wake me up inside I can't wake up,
Wake me up inside, save me,
Call my name and save me from the dark, wake me up
Bid my blood to run, I can't wake up
Before I come undone, save me
Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real, bring me to life

Wake me up, wake me up inside I can't wake up,
Wake me up inside, save me,
Call my name and save me from the dark, wake me up
Bid my blood to run, I can't wake up
Before I come undone, save me
Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life, I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside, bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
I've got to open my eyes to everything

Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul

Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong, bring me to life

Wake me up, wake me up inside I can't wake up,
Wake me up inside, save me,
Call my name and save me from the dark, wake me up
Bid my blood to run, I can't wake up
Before I come undone, save me
Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life, I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Wireless headphones SOUND LIKE SHIT why? because the data transmission (probably some bluetooth spinoff) can only transmit limited ammount of data so it can save the tiny ass battery life that those earbuds have. Not to mention probably less than 2 meters range you gonna get.

Anyone who likes to listen to things with bitrate higher than 192kbps is going to vomit. FLAC users might aswell not even bother.

>>57867305

>>57867319

The AirPods apparently use two different transmission methods simultaneously. Basically, the sound won't be bottlenecked but this is only for iOS devices, other things will use standard Bluetooth. Reports say their range is around 10 meters. They do much better because of their antenna placement, signals pass through the jaw bone and not the brain thanks to the elongated stalk.

>>57867341
Everyone knows that direct changeover is the worst method of changeover. They could have at least kept the 3.5mm port but upgraded to USB Type-C

>>57867332

That's not the point faggot. Wireless is useless because if you at least had some good range with it would be justified for "some uses" but it doesn't so what's the point again? is running a cable under your shirt that bothersome? You lose quality and have to worry about battery life aswell.

This is the worst meme that normies memed and all for looks and nothing else.

Not confirmed yet shitdick. Wait for the cunts to release but a few reporters mentioned it as well as some people who tore down other W1 chip devices. For example, with iPhones they could be using Bluetooth and also some form of Wifi.

>>57867444
That'll be a feature, and they'll end up being praised by the public as the good guys that listen. Ebin

>>57867456
You're still paying almost 20 times as much as a shitty Android phone if you do any of that. Total cost is the issue, not cost up front.

>>57867458

It's going to be less than 320kbps mark my words you apple shill. Beats only do 256kbps max

http://www.pcworld.com/article/3138559/mobile/apples-airpods-could-deliver-audio-with-multiple-wireless-protocols.html

Nothing concrete confirmed as of yet, but its likley.

>Apple likely has implemented technology so audio can be streamed from the iPhone via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or a proprietary protocol, Demler said. Passif registered a patent called "un-tethered wireless stereo speaker system" for transfer of audio wirelessly over multiple channels, and it's "consistent with the AirPods specifications," he said.

>>57867484
No shit. But how much money you make has nothing go do with you being able to afford the latest apple iturd or not.

>>57867499
Not when they require charging.

>>57867531
Yes it does. This isn't difficult to understand. Many can afford a $50 Android phone but can't afford a $700 iPhone because it costs more money. It doesn't matter if they're only paying $50 a month, it's the total cost that matters.

When things cost more money they become out of reach to people who can't afford them. Really surprised that I need to explain this to someone over 18.

You are over 18, aren't you?

>>57867511

>buzzwords the article
>bitrate not even mentioned

with the shit quality the apple buds already are cramping the "wireless" with the battery in there they will be lucky if they can transmit over 200kbps without killing the battery in under 1 hour.

>>57867531
Do you really think a family making $1000/month in some developing shithole will be able to buy an iPhone even on contract assuming they qualify (as if) at $80/month for 24 months will choose the iPhone over a $100 chink android phone?

Android is more accessible with cheaper products flooded on the market.

>>57867531

>how much money you make has nothing go do with you being able to afford the latest apple iturd

Then why are Pajeets not buying flagship Android phones or iPhones and instead getting <$100 burners?

>>57867579
>implying you're not talking to a Pajeet who is trying to defend Android

>>57867566

Its speculation based on a decent probability you fucking idiot. They're not even commercially available yet to do any teardowns to confirm anything.

So stop defending them you apple shill. Wireless will ALWAYS be worse than wired for devices of that size.

Can't beat physics we can't pull energy out of our ass to transmit high bitrate, get decent battery life and a blowjob from apple CEO

>>57867625

Samsung is the biggest and most popular Android device maker. If they tank iPhone wins, and they will tank. They don't have the ecosystem to support a wireless offering of their own like Apple. With the AirPods you can pair very quickly with one device, then have any audio playing from any other device go straight to the AirPods, even if the two haven't had contact before, simply by being signed in with your Apple ID.

>>57867556
>Yes it does. This isn't difficult to understand. Many can afford a $50 Android phone but can't afford a $700 iPhone because it costs more money. It doesn't matter if they're only paying $50 a month, it's the total cost that matters.
>When things cost more money they become out of reach to people who can't afford them.
This is why loans, credit, contracts exist you dipshit. Even someone earning minimum wage can afford to pay $50/month for a phone lease.

Haven't you ever noticed that the ones using iPhones have a shitty honda civic from the 90's and live with their parents or in a tiny as fuck room they rent in the middle of nowhere?

Poor people feel ashamed of being poor so they buy expensive shit on loans, credit, contracts and pretend like their life isn't an abysmal existance. Ironically making them even poorer.

The rich are usually the ones smart with money that still use an old blackberry or some old android phone.

>people actually buy smartphones that cost more than $200
Couldn't care less about someone dumb enough to dump that much money on a disposable device, let them spend another $100 on shitty wireless head phones

>>57867669
>Can't beat physics

>>57867579
Who says they're not? They can get loans, contracts, credit even in their 3rd world country.

>So stop defending them you apple shill. Wireless will ALWAYS be worse than wired for devices of that size.

When did I ever say this was better? Imagining things I said to attack them is pretty fucking retarded. Nothing will beat wired, but do people care about music over 320kbps? The answer is no. Apple appears to have been able to offer AT LEAST 256kbps audio reliably, this is enough for the product's use, which is casual listening. If you work with music you're still of course going to be using wired audio and a dedicated DAC.

Same with the new Macbook Pro, once companies start fucking up you know which device is the last good one.

>>57867751
I'm quite older than that. My older computers had a floppy reader or whatever they were called, but it was never used. CDs came almost immediately after floppies, held much more data and were just more convenient. There was never a real reason to use floppies unless you worked at a company which was quick to cuck themselves with floppy usage.

But the s7 is faster than the current iPhone and has a better and higher resolution screen. It's crazy to think what you can get when you don't buy ishit. Last Good iPhone was the 5.

>>57868238
That's not the amazing part. The amazing part is I only paid $160 for my 2016 J7 (+$30 128GB micro sd card). Paid $600 for my 32GB iPhone 5.

BUT NOW IT'S GONE

>>57867211
But you see there was a very tangible reason for that change. There is zero reason to eliminate the 3.5mm jack. Now all headphones will require a charger/adapter for no reason. The fidelity is perfectly fine with wired 3.5 jacks and while Bluetooth is nice it's still very wonky at times.

>>57869540
Being 100% honest here: I think bluetooth over the ear headphones (not earbuds) are the future.

I have a pair of XJ-500 and they are amazing. I can use them for an entire week without having to recharge them on my phone and desktop pc and with aptx allows you to stream your 320k MP3s without having to re-encode them to some shitty low-bitrate bluetooth codec.

I think apple just adopted the wireless headphones idea way too early but in time we should see earbuds with 20+ hours of battery life exist in a year or two.

Samshit is probably going to get more praise for the wireless headphones thing now because of that.

>>57869562

well then, allow me to continue not buying samshit.

Just like there are still phones with microsd if you really want it, there will always be phones with a 3.5mm if you really want it. I use bluetooth to my car mostly but like fuck I'm getting a phone I can't plug my cans, earphones, speakers, or whatever audio device I want, into.

-nearly all bluetooth headphones and IEMs sound like shit, even discounting the wireless transmission limitations, they're just shit headphones with unbalanced sound.
-the need for extra circuitry, batteries, etc. places design limitations that are detrimental to audio quality while raising the price. this is why bluetooth headphones sound worse than headphones half the cost or even cheaper.
-they all have shit battery life, and who wants to charge another device and worry about it anyways? especially when the battery life of devices is so different. my player can last for days, and I can use it that long with headphones or IEMs, I can't do that with wireless.
-it's really not much to include the port, so why not? this is why non-meme "flagship" phones will always have them. hell the worlds thinnest phone has one.
-bluetooth headphones are bulkier, heavier, with IEMs easier to lose, they have more components that can fail and they're not easy to repair.
-bluetooth transmission is still lossy in a very noticeable way. aptx sound a bit better but it's a proprietary closed compression format. it's like always having to listen to 128 mp3. it's also prone to disconnects and such, and it drains the battery on your player more.

wireless is nice in certain situations, like quiet home movie viewing or shit like that. but it still has tons of problems and so will always be less versatile, so any good phone should give you the option.

ultimately I don't care much, all the devices including phones I see myself buying will have one. chink phones are already better value and have more features than overpriced flagships so I'll just keep buying those.
