   Headphone jack removal in mobile devices is still one of the worst tech decision for consumers

     @Joram @benjancewicz funny thing is, I didn't really have this problem with my wired headphones on the various walkmans and discmans. The quality of everything just dropped over the decades.

     @benjancewicz I mean yes, the waste of LiPo batteries is awful, but it's not like my plug-in-earphones would survive more than a year before the cable would break at one of the stressed points near the plug. I used to buy a new pair every couple of months or have to hold the headphone cable just right to have sound on both ears.

     So, it hasn't gotten better but it also never was great.
