So glad I use wired earbuds and refused to buy a phone that didn't support them.
LOL at the big debate I read just yesterday about how better wireless headphones are, and how useless jacks on phones are nowadays...
I will never tire of pasting this:

That person is being needlessly cautious.
- joke punchline -
A good swing with a steel baseball bat is enough to deal with a printer from 2004.Same. I can't find any Bluetooth headphones whose batteries don't die in 4 or 5 months anyway. Meanwhile my Moondrop wired headphones have been going strong for almost 3 years.
My sony earbuds lasted 5 years before I decided to replace the batteries in them, which cost me $20 and 30 min. I would hope other earbuds wouldnt die in only half a year
Which ones? I have 1004, they got fucked in the washer
Mine are the WF1000XM3
I still have never heard noise cancellation as good as those ones. I have a couple other pairs of earbuds as well, one set for side sleeping, and one set for water. I like to listen to audiobooks in the shower and the IPX7 ones have held up great
I want exactly this set up. I need different ones for bedtime, swimming and everyday wear
Well, I can recommend the soundcore anker life A1 earbuds for swimming, and the soundcore sleep A20 for low profile earbuds that dont stick out of your ear. Went through atleast 4 sets (wired and wireless) of earbuds for each until settling on these.
Just FYI, I would imagine anker have plenty of exploits but I appreiate the recommendations.
To be fair I kept buying models that cost $20 to $30 so maybe the higher end ones would last longer. That said, my Moondrops wired headphones cost the same but are way more reliable.
