Ive always hated phones without the 3.5mm and won't stop even if all phone manufacturers remove it
At least you can still get adapters for phones that don’t have it :)
Not on flagships.

You have a Redmi, you don't get an in here
🤣🤣🤣
downvoted for that website's super illegal "pay us to not track you" policy
I hate that. I’m looking at you Healthline. I hate that it’s always so high in the results.
Consent required for free use
I think that’s explicitly forbidden by the EU, and it’s a German domain.
Yep I only use wired...
Hah, jokes on them, I managed to fuck my earbuds' microphones so they're useless now.
You did WHAT with them?
They don't GO there....
I am the sweaty balls man and this happens often
Why are your earbuds... in your pants
Gotta feel the bass
my balls and my ears sweat at the same time
Oh, fair enough then
Unchecked consumer-grade RF signals that are broadcast in every direction are insecure??
Color me shocked!
Well, if these devices required any sort of authentication (e.g. pairing) to free access to their ram and flash, we wouldn't be having this particular story..
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.

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.
Got a a pair of sennheisers old enough to vote
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.
