I bet you also pull an all-nighter in front of an APplE store to be the first one to get a new dongle upon release

>>58569264
I tried them out. They sound like shit. I wouldn't pay even $40 for them.

Would have been happier with the Eiaosi X6.

What, wireless earbuds? May have been a novel concept in 2005 but not today.

>>58569264
It's actually extremely well designed tech. Just not worth the price once you look at other products

>>58569288
Or if we all die.

Wew

>>58569264
apple has done it again

>>58571694
Yes, but it is fucking magic this one.
Watch AvE's teardown.

>>58571729
>Or when we all die.
Fixed.
It's always gunna be when, not if.

Yeah it's a downgrade.

If apple didn't push wireless, wired earbuds would still be the industry standard in 10 years.

LMAO

>>58572495
And?

>>58572509
I will give Apple credit for bleeding the market to make massive amounts of cash, but what they influenced caused the creation of a shit load of thin, overheating devices with shitty batteries, and that is nothing to be thankful for.

>>58572495
And that is a bad thing?

>>58572634
oh shut up. those were problems before laptops got thin

Huh, nothing has changed.

This is what /g/ is now. 24 7

>>58572495
You're right. Even though over a half dozen kikesharter and gimme-a-blojo campaigns for stupid wireless earbuds have been funded over the past 2 or so years, Apple is definitely they only company stupid enough to force users to either use Bluetooth or a shitty dongle.

Now we can look forward to a future where headphones and earbuds alike have shiity undersized drivers as a compromise to fit a receiver, DAC, amp, and battery inside and even shittier battery life for our phones.

On top of that we're no longer limited to being in constant fear of our phones blowing off our fingers or dick, we now get to experience a whole no potential for little explosions right in our ears.

And since earbuds were simply not sensitive enough to damage, now they get a plethora of other microscopic components to irreversibly damage from a small drop. even better they're also so much easier to lose.

I'm so glad we have a trailblazer like Apple to steer technology in the direction we've been too stupid to realize was best. I for one plan on buying 5 pairs to prove I appreciate them with my wallet.

>>58572495
So instead, in 10 years more people will be using the built in speaker when taking the bus.
I don't care about the potential of the wireless headphones. When I am alone, plugging in a wire vs using a wireless set of headphones is about the same amount of work, I don't really care, if anything, I would prefer to have a wired connection, because I wouldn't have to charge multiple devices.
But in the hands of the plebeians, these earbuds become more expensive, get lost or what have you.
We already have people who listen to music using the built in speaker in public, but this is currently limited to black people.

>i blame other manufacturers for not changing to lightning/usb C

>lets keep this 100 year old jack forever!

i bet you qq about USB C as well and how nothing uses it but you complain that the companies put the port on things

>>58572880
Every phone uses usb-c now, it is just a matter of time until something else will use it.
And the age of a thing does not affect how useful it is.
I mean we also use geometry, physics, we still use heat to prepare food.
Some things doesn't have to change unless you find something better.
The main complaint about removing the jack is that we could have wireless systems alongside wired options.
Say the change would be for apple to replace their default headphones with wireless headphones.
They could get feedback on how they were compared to the old ones or if people even used them at all.
There was nothing wrong with the jack, why change it?

>>58572880
>it's bad because it has been so great and functional for over a century
>if it "just werks" we need to replace it with something less robust, less commonly used, and more expensive
>afterall we need more room in our phones so we can make them .1mm thinner and more fragile requiring a bulky, rubbery case that has a deathgrip on the inside of your pocket so it's even harder to pull out when your battery goes up in flames.
