  • Audio quality is worse (mathematical fact)

I cannot tell the difference

  • Latency is high

I cannot tell, even when gaming

Packets drop due to external interference

Only had an issue once in a busy airport, otherwise not an issue for me.

I'm not saying my case is universal and there's no reason anyone would ever want a 3.5mm jack, but there's plenty of people like me who would really never use it.

Yeah like I said in my original comment, if you don't do anything serious with audio then it doesn't matter. However if you do, then it matters and BT just simply isn't good enough.

Apple themselves even admit this. If you open up Logic on iPad (a digital audio workstation made by apple) it warns you that using Bluetooth is going to suck.

Edit: Also worth pointing out my original comment isn't about analog headphones jacks Vs Bluetooth it's about wired vs Bluetooth. USB C is fine in terms of the complaints I'm making about BT.

My main question is why you think you'll need low latency for audio production on a phone.

[โ€“] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago

This is a confusing question.

You need low latency to produce music on any device.
