take my salt
I'm sure both your cans and DACs can easily salt my 1Gbps connection ...

I LOL'd so hard the first time I saw it #notsureifserious
I wonder who made this site though.... would be pretty funny if it's a practical joke from some Apple devs.
I don't even know what to say....
Apple's like M$ all over again, pushing everyone to use their schiity proprietary tech.
Meanwhile M$ is open-sourcing tonnes of stuff.
and yeah, blame the jacks... because bluetooth is so much better right? :/
and how much are we paying for your thunderbolt chips again?

And audio engineers applaud the move to remove the jack....all 1 engineer in fact.

He's not even an audio engineer, he just happens to be prez of the Audio Engineering Society.

If I was an audio engineer I would have burnt down the house of the person who suggested removing the headphone jack almost immediately
... but I'm not.
I'm a freaking EE lol

I'm personally for it as strange as this sounds.
Device pairing technologies have enough bandwidth now to not cause any issues so for on-the-go use I honestly think Bluetooth headphones are perfectly fine, albeit not in the style of the new AirPods because that just seems like a huge UX design mistake. Something in line with the LG Tone or Sony h.ear in Wireless IMO is the perfect wireless headphone design for in-ears. Supra-aural and circumaural headphones have little to change in terms of design to accomodate wireless. ex. BeoPlay H8, etc.
I do like the argument that the guy in Mice's article presented with headphone cables breaking first. My MH1C's that kalbee sent me are almost dead and I got them in basically mint condition and I barely use them. The strain reliefs on them are basically broken and the cable itself is just annoying to deal with.
In general the cable isn't annoying but whenever I put it away we get tangles as suspected and there are times where the cable gets caught and actually pulls my iPod out of my pocket (it's a 50/50 between iPod falls out or in-ear falls out, surprisingly).
So long as wireless headphones are able to last 24 hours on a single charge there shouldn't be an issue with them because we always tend to charge our stuff as soon as we get home.
I would prefer if these wireless headphones came with a USB-C in because that will make charging and using them at the same time quite nice, unlike the AirPods which can only charge or play music, not both at the same time.
