   Question - is the rise of people listening to music aloud related to the headphone jack dying?

     @patcharcana Also - if I'm listening to music all day - my headphones are gonna run down hard, and if I need two $200 headphones, or a charger and cable always around, it's not gonna happen.

     @silverwizard You mean the sudden change of useful headphone base prices from sub-ten-bucks to whatever it costs for even cheap BT headsets?

     Yeah, almost certainly.

     @silverwizard It's a common and likely hypothesis, yes.

     Although I feel like these days I'm more likely to run into people taking video calls on speakerphone in public than blasting their music.

     I want the parallel universe where phones kept the headphone jack and it was the cameras getting pushed out into dongles/BT.
