We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
I agree. I have a set of Bose with noise cancelling and are amazingly comfortable. I can only use them when I want to relax and actually listen to my music.
I’ve recently taken over an iPhone 5c that has become my dedicated music player and I use standard headphones when walking with the dog. no lag, no charging, no connection issues and can hear what is around me, like cars. the convenience of plugging in headphones and hitting play is nice.
for quality/relaxing, go with Bose, for ease/convenience, headphone jack.
