Even Dua Lipa is using wired headphones. What's your excuse for using wireless headphones?

this is actually a pretty smart design given the context

I NEVER use wireless earphones. I only use wired earphones.

It means "two pussy lips" in Mexican (she's from there I think)

Can you get wired headphones wif active noise reduction doe?

It actually means she takes dual BBCs at the same time between her pussy lips.

built for BBCs

Her dad is a music producer

I want to rape her so badd

they aren't though, they were better like 15 years ago but these days unless you have an exceptional quality track, source, amp, dac, headphones, and listening environment, the wireless is no longer the weakest link by any stretch

it's been almost ten years since apple pulled that stunt and aux earbuds STILL offer
- audibly better sound quality
- lower latency
- less environmental impact
- lower general costs
- longer lasting product (since batteries ar prone to degradation and eventual failure)
- better repairability
- less material being used in general

and even the convenience benefit of not having wires is canceled out by the inconvenience of having to charge them or otherwise ending up with a dead pair of unusable earbuds. the only true benefit I can think of is ANC, which even that can be rivaled by good enough custom molds, and protocols like Spatial Audio, which isn't even new and can be accomplished in plain stereo

are you talking about $15 throwaway earbuds?

also the wires will fail way before the batteries, you would know this if you used headsets more often

I can hide earbuds with my hair and be antisocial at work without looking autistic or having people call me out

at home I use big fat wired gaymur headphones with surround sound emulation or whatever

Stop being gross you fags it's literally just her name

born in London

So she's not Albanian?

According to this thing, she's both at the same time instead of one or the other. Like how a child with a Black mother and a white father is both Black and white. We don't have "gray" children!!!

I'm talking about 3.5mm auxiliary as a standard vs bluetooth as a standard. granted the sound quality and latency points might be a little weak given the variance of bluetooth devices and codecs (which reminds me of another forgotten benefit to aux - simplicity and ease of use) but the point still stands I think. almost every time I encounter a problem with bluetooth, my first thought is "wired headphones don't have this problem."

as for the durability of cables: you're partially right. but you can buy headphones and IEMs with detachable hand therefore replaceable) cables, or extra durable cables so this is kind of a moot point.

Bluetooth signals slowly microwave your brain.
Also if I see you wearing earbuds out in the street and you get hit by a car because you have zero situational awareness, that's 100% on you.

You can keep the same pair of wired headphones for decades if you take good enough care of them. A pair of AirPods is going to fail in a maximum of 5 years, 3 with heavy use. That's $349 you have to spend every few years forever. I don't understand how these things are so popular. Is not having a cable THAT important to most people?

i like leaving my phone on the table and getting up and walking away
of course i didn't use wireless until it was forced on me and for a while i used a shitty usb c wire port

the last time I remember having a problem with bluetooth headphones is maybe 2016-17ish, just about the only time there's a reliability issue is if you're in a call center and you've got 40 people on bluetooth headsets, keyboards, and mice, crammed in a 500 square foot room. for 99% of use cases bluetooth is better, and I say this as someone who used to be a turbo-sperg about headphone amps and high end CD players. "bluetooth" is not one protocol, there have been numerous changes and upgrades since your bt 3.0 headset came out

keep the same pair of wired headphones for decades

sure if you never use them. when I was a headphone sperg I'd go through a pair of ear cushions every year, cables maybe ever 3-4 years. you probably just don't listen to a lot of music

i'm not a woman thus I don't actually consider group consensus when I make choices.

TFW this Albanian whore will never be my rape-meat.

I use wired because dollar-for-dollar they have better sound quality and I hate charging shit. Also sometimes I see people saying wireless is better because you can run and walk around and do other things and still remain plugged to the stream of content at all times like a junkie, and bro, I specifically don't want to fall into that abyss.

the last time I remember having a problem with bluetooth headphones is maybe 2016-17ish,

I mean that's pretty anecdotal. I have problems with my AirPods Pro pretty frequently. either I take them out of the case and it turns out I forgot to charge them so now the case and the buds are dead, or the case is full but one of them wasn't sitting in the case right so now one is fully charged and the other is dead, or for whatever reason they're just not connecting and I have to reset them, or they are connecting and both fully charged but only one is playing audio, or they're connected to the wrong device and refusing to switch over, or automatically connecting to devices I DIDN'T want them to connect to, etc etc... I could go on, there are a lot of problematic things about them I encounter all the time. aux cuts down on mishaps by being inherently simpler.

just about the only time there's a reliability issue is if you're in a call center and you've got 40 people on bluetooth headsets, keyboards, and mice, crammed in a 500 square foot room.

well (1) idk what specific headset you're using but again, I'm talking about the entire standard. the mechanism as a whole, the way it works. bluetooth creates problems that aux literally doesn't have at all, so the range of problems is much wider for bluetooth than for aux connections. speaking of which, (2) you just listed another problem aux is incompatible with lol

for 99% of use cases bluetooth is better,

well no, not really. the only time bluetooth really creates an advantage is when you NEED the physical cable to be gone. otherwise, it's all downsides. having to work around a battery life is a downside. only being able to use it for passive listening and not creating or playing because of latency is a significant downside. sound quality is a downside unless you spend more, in which case expense becomes a downside. ewaste is a downside. unnecessary lithium mining is a downside. performance issues and glitches, rare as they may be for you, are a downside. there's a lot of downsides.

and I say this as someone who used to be a turbo-sperg about headphone amps and high end CD players.

I don't think sperging about anything here is necessary, I'm just saying I think it's pretty clear that Bluetooth is not the answer we want it to be.

"bluetooth" is not one protocol, there have been numerous changes and upgrades since your bt 3.0 headset came out

the existence of multiple codecs to try and come close to what aux does naturally by default is an added complication and a downside.

Yeah I hate the idea of needing to loosten to music at all times even when taking a shit but besides that it's not as if we didn't run around in the walkman era.

No clue who person is

Look her up

Albanian

Fuck off, Shiptar (I cannot even use accents on this fucking website).

when I was a headphone sperg I'd go through a pair of ear cushions every year, cables maybe ever 3-4 years.

Yeah, but you could keep the headphones themselves for as long as you like. With wireless earbuds you're going to have to toss the whole thing in the trash and soon.

Changing cables is hard?

I should add. I await butthurt Siptar to say that I suck Putin cock. I cam not Serb, though, I am Croat and I fucking hate you and Bosnia. Your parents fuck goats, you fuck goats, your wife fucks goats and your kids will fuck goats.

I think wired headphones are superior for a long list of reasons but you can't get them with active noise cancellation and for that reason alone I will only wear wireless earbuds in public. Any technology that allows me not to hear sheboons and jeets screaming on their phones is well worth it.

hey so idk if you know this but you use headphones by gently placing each cup on one of your ear and playing the music at a comfortable volume. chewing the headphones, stomping on them and setting them ablaze for good measure will only damage them. hope this helps!

I don't write drivers for a living so

notmyproblem.exe

like I said, I use my headphones, I didn't buy them as an investment to keep in a glass display case

Inspect the book

It's true crime

I didn't buy them as an investment to keep in a glass display case

hey so you can use your headphones respectfully and keep them intact for long periods of time as long as you don't set them on fire and chew on them as previously mentioned. hope this helps!

not my problem

not my problem

not my problem

right so this is why I used the word "objectively" earlier,

in the future, may I suggest VXUS? it will depreciate less than your headphones. hope this helps!

no thanks, i prefer to use my headphones (preferably without slamming them against the nearest cobblestone wall like a roid-raged nigger ape)

they fell down the stairs
