This is why I hate that companies are getting rid of the headphone jack. If you're getting rid of something that works just for the sake of "courage "...replace it with something better

This video is a solid example of why it frustrates me so much that phone manufacturers are ditching the headphone jack. It's just too soon. So much of the tech that is supposed to be replacing it is half baked junk.

Colin Hawkins Much like beats by Dre, but everyone adopted those, on their own. It signaled to the industry that nobody cares about their sound, at all, and the market doesn't follow the few, so much as the many. The Pixel sucks, anyway. Been using Bluetooth, exclusive, since 2014. 140 year-old tech is generally outdated tech. Cell phones aren't audiophile devices. They're cell phones, and anyone who imagines that Google is gonna put out decent headphones of any type probably has or wants a $300 waste of beats.

Carson B Wagner Uh, no. The bluetooth headphones still suffer a loss of quality and the "140 year old tech" still remains as the best option for audio without a doubt. Not to mention that bluetooth wireless headphones/earphones on your ears for extended period of time has other issues and are more expensive. People just want the headphone jack for their own freedom, we might as well phase out the camera and speakers as they are old tech as well.

Thank you! It's not always that you get a clinical and critical review of an item or items, tech, or any consumer product that points out an industry failure.

It sucks that they stumbled out of the gate, because technically speaking USB-C headphones could be better than any others easily.

@@abdulhananahsenmughal7068 Have the Razer Hammerhead USB-C ANC. Their best characteristic is their build quality. They feel really great. Weighs substantial, its metallic finish feels premium. Sound is ok. They have a balanced sound but with a bit of bass. Don't buy this for the sound. The Comply ear tips that came with them are pretty good (but take note they are still foam tips, so they're not good for use long-term as they degrade over time and pick up dust rather quickly. Foam tips are good for sound and fit, but silicone tips are better for use long-term). ANC is ok, you're definitely getting what you're paying for. Just don't expect Airpods or Sony levels of noise cancellation. Probably the only real issue with these are compatibility when it comes to its button controls (this is mostly a USB-C problem and not Razer's fault). On Razer's site they have a compatibility list with these. My device, Mi 10T Pro, isn't on the list but the controls work just fine, so the list is clearly not final and definitive (just take note though the controls might not work on your device). The Razer logo glows green (which might be annoying for some, but I personally think it looks cool). Overall, they are an awesome pair but not for hardcore audiophiles. Its SRP is $100 (definitely not worth it for this price) but in all sites other than Razer's, these sell for about $20-60 (worth it!).

even if decent usb-c headphones finally arrive, it will just put more wear and tear on the charge port of the phone the 3.5mm jack doesn't take much space in a phone at all, took apart a LG G4, and it's really tiny, just a bit bigger compared to the plug i opted for the Bose QC 30 for now, which of course means just another device to charge i wonder if manufacturers really will stick with the removal of the 3.5mm jack and if they do, if LG and Samsung will also join this bandwagon

I didn't expect something like that from you. AliExpress is not some vendor. Its business model is very similar to Amazon and it also includes comparable chsomer security mechanisms. There are issues 'cause it)s China after all but it's shortsighted and unprofessional to value such company on the same merits as any other vendor. AliExpress and it's parent company Alibaba are actually bigger than Amazon. I'm not sure what's the problem with GearBest either. It's just pretty large and solid Chinese retailer.

They still have flip phones and those w/a slide-out, full keyboard, at any cell vendor, and they're only 99 cents, to boot! You can even practice Bluetooth, with those, because even they support it. Cell phones aren't iPods, and there's no argument, about digital. The music is already in digital format, until somebody manufactures the turntable phone.
