We have a system that works and works perfectly fine
That system has been taken away with no gain
The "solution" isn't any better and is either: more expensive or inconvenient.
So I have two choices, I can buy a Bluetooth headset for $300+ dollars to have a similar audio quality to my $120 wired head phones
Or I can carry around a few small dongles every where I go that have the potential to be lost or forgotten. I have to bring one simply to even have my wired headphones work and a splitter should I decide to charge my phone and listen to music at the same time.
You know what's a better solution that works for everyone? Leaving the headphone jack the fuck alone. If you want to use wired headphones, you have that option, if you want to use wireless headphones, you have that option, if you want to charge your phone AND use headphones, you have that option. And guess who it hurts? Absolutely nobody. Funny how that works huh.
Sorry I don't believe I should be walked all over by a company that wants to remove my options just because they can and what's even sadder is that people will defend it tooth and nail for mystical "improvements" that don't exist.
