Since the iPhone 7ās release in 2016, the humĀble headĀphone jack has been phased out of flagĀship phones to many peoĀpleās disĀmay. Has the time come for us to finalĀly get over its omisĀsion? Jide AkinĀriĀnade gives his thoughts.

Thanks for watchĀing everyĀone! To my felĀlow jack ***s, what were the pair of wireĀless headĀphones that made you cut the cord perĀmaĀnentĀly? Sound off in the comments!
I am the only perĀson who sees how much worse wireĀless earĀphones are for the planet?
It should be a choice. Thereās litĀerĀalĀly no good reaĀson to take it out.
I cant imagĀine my next phone withĀout a head phone jack. My car doesĀnāt have BlueĀtooth or usb plugs! But has a aux cord port.
Not havĀing a headĀphone jack on a smartĀphone is like sellĀing a conĀdom with a hole in the end and then sepĀaĀrateĀly sellĀing a seal.
If you love music itās not even close,even with lossĀless audio itās not there, maybe in years but not now. This guy doesĀnāt love music.
the horse analĀoĀgy is pretĀty stuĀpid. Since unlike the horse and car, the horse isnāt faster or stronger than a car.
You donāt need to remove the headĀphone jack (which proĀvides no latenĀcy high qualĀiĀty audio), to have wireĀless (with latenĀcy and much worse qualĀiĀty audio).
Fudge that, gimme back the jack. QualĀiĀty is betĀter (there are MUCH betĀter wired headĀphones than wireĀless) and I nevĀer need to think about chargĀing earĀphones. It is all dicĀtatĀed by marĀketĀing in the end, dicĀtatĀed by profĀit and trend rather than quality.
This guy is a tool for a comĀpaĀny. comĀing from anothĀer black dude. I still want my headĀphone jack
What a garbage take
This idiot is litĀerĀalĀly proĀmotĀing anti-conĀsumer pracĀtices by these corĀpoĀraĀtions designed explicĀitĀly to milk conĀsumers for more of their monĀey. How about instead you rub two brain cells togethĀer and actuĀalĀly speak out when comĀpaĀnies conĀsisĀtentĀly remove feaĀtures from devices. Removal batĀterĀies, headĀphone jacks, MicroSD expanĀsion, and now the godĀdamn chargĀer?!? SeriĀousĀly, these comĀpaĀnies are just tryĀing to see how much they can get away with and conĀsumers like this moron blindĀly and uncritĀiĀcalĀly folĀlow suit.
This should be just an opinĀion.
ComĀpaĀnies should proĀvide the option to enjoy the music in both wired and wireĀless ways. WireĀless is for mobilĀiĀty, Wired is for qualĀiĀty in your home or office, when you do not need to move around.
This video should be an opinĀion, but not an essay when you say to the peoĀple what they had to preĀfer. It is disrespectful.
i love my wired headĀphones i have some that have been with me for over 5 yrs and no issues. and i dont have to worĀry about runĀning out of battery
Iām still wantĀiĀng the Jack, works betĀter with my 2010 car that doesĀnāt have BT.
Try using your phone for busiĀness with a PlantronĀics headĀset with a jack. I dumped my iphone for and LG because it has a jack. As far as lossĀless streamĀing. Balony, there is no such thing.
The sayĀing remains eterĀnal: āNo jack, no buyā
ComĀpaĀnies not longer have to innoĀvĀaĀtive unless thereās a monĀeĀtary incenĀtive to do so.
PeoĀple hate unnecĀesĀsary change
One thing he didĀnāt menĀtion was the fact that wireĀless earĀbuds donāt last long; one year at best. What do you do with them afterĀwards? Trash them. So how does that effect the environment.
i donāt want wireĀless headphones.
wired is supeĀriĀor on all metĀrics to me.
The fact that we are still havĀing this conĀverĀsaĀtion means there is someĀthing to discuss.
I went back to mp3 playĀers and dumb phones, sick of smartphones.
RemovĀing the headĀphone jack was just a cash grab.
The main reaĀson I donāt like BlueĀtooth headĀphones is because they have to be charged and wireĀless does not and I get headaches when I use BlueĀtooth headphones.
We can stop using spoon and fork, because itās not workĀing anymore.
Any arguĀment in favor of removal of jack is indusĀtry techĀnobĀaĀble, and we are good at reproĀducĀing it.
ComĀing back? It nevĀer went in my case. Still 95% wired!
Wow, this video is wildĀly conĀdeĀscendĀing and has realĀly put a bad taste in my mouth for CNET. Iām surĀprised itās still even up.
Crazy! I will hold on to my note 9. BlueĀtooth headĀphones died and I just simĀply plugged in my wired headphones.
I canāt even watch this video because of how unreĀalĀisĀtic and severeĀly biased it is. You donāt need to remove the headĀphone jack in order to utiĀlize BlueĀtooth headĀphones ergo thereās litĀerĀalĀly no reaĀson to remove it. Nor did I see you point out any posĀiĀtives of using wired headĀphones. AnyĀone who takes up for apple on this deciĀsion litĀerĀalĀly makes no sense and is probĀaĀbly just an indusĀtry plant takĀing up for apple so they can make monĀey so I wouldnāt trust anyĀthing they say. Iām sorĀry CāNET but the averĀage Joe disĀagrees with you. You can use wireĀless headĀphones and still have a headĀphone jack. HavĀing more options will always be betĀter. I canāt imagĀine many senĀsiĀble peoĀple disĀagreeĀing with that.
Why canāt these tech jourĀnalĀists just do real jourĀnalĀism instead of takĀing up for all the big tech comĀpaĀnies. Seems like thatās all they do now. RealĀly makes you think..š¤Ø
Just for the conĀveĀnience of havĀing my headĀphones ready to work whenĀevĀer my phone is ready iām preĀpared to deal with the tanĀgling any day of the week.
And i use wired headĀphones to locate my phone in my bag, with wireĀless i nevĀer know where i put it.
Alsoā¦ have fun with wireĀless headĀphones when their batĀtery dies.
Are you kidĀding? Iām a Sound EngiĀneer and the headĀphone jack is essenĀtial. What a stuĀpid move to remove the headĀphone jack. Not to menĀtion the EMF radiĀaĀtion hitĀting the brain head on.
What a garbage video. Wired will always be superior.
I hate this video so much
I ditched iPhone for that
Letās not forĀget that Apple doesĀnāt supĀport LDAC with their AirPods
What a dumb video.
Vid gets a thumbs down on stance alone sorĀry bro
I have a SamĀsung Galaxy A52s and nevĀer have I ever used the headĀphone jack, Iām more used to lisĀtenĀing to music or watchĀing videos with my Galaxy Buds Live.
NevĀer
LG V60: has what is still the best headĀphone jack on a phone with the quad DAC. Has fanĀtasĀtic hapĀtics, and didĀnāt sacĀriĀfice a thing.
It also still has most(doesnāt have lhdc) of the high end BlueĀtooth codecs which now you have more comĀpaĀnies just makĀing their own proĀpriĀetary codecs. Which isnāt good.
With how stuĀpidĀly large an iphone 14 pro max or a Galaxy s23 ultra is thereās no real excuse to not have it othĀer than just to get more true wireĀless sales.
I mean, if your first conĀcern is workĀing out, then you shouldĀnāt be sayĀing much. PeoĀple who care about the phone jack want it back because of audio qualĀiĀty. I donāt go to the gym, you have the option to use wireĀless if you wish, but let peoĀple who actuĀalĀly want to lisĀten to music or anyĀthing else with good qualĀiĀty audio have a choice. DidĀnāt even watch the rest of the video after that.
$250 samĀsung buds do not comĀpare to may old $12 akg samĀsung headĀphones. The wired headĀphones gave me the freeĀdom to choose between qualĀiĀty audio and portaĀbilĀiĀty. Usbc has nothĀing on even BlueĀtooth. Now im stuck with $200+ disĀposĀable headphones.
A phone jack doesĀnāt need chargĀing.
Keep the old school stuff!
some embarĀrassĀing apoloĀgia for anti conĀsumer, anti enviĀronĀmenĀtal tacĀtics.ā¦ RemovĀing a feaĀture is not innoĀvaĀtion. Thereās nothĀing remoteĀly innoĀvĀaĀtive about removĀing someĀthing and not replacĀing it. Phones with headĀphone jacks already have blueĀtooth so thereās no benefit
blueĀtooth is secuĀriĀty flaw, drains batĀtery, makes pairĀing a pain if you have a bunch of devices, poor audio qualĀiĀty, dropĀping audio/random sync issues, poor duraĀbilĀiĀty since the batĀterĀies are basiĀcalĀly useĀless after a year of modĀerĀate use, not as high of volĀume, ect ect. the irony is we are all obsessed about a uniĀverĀsal port like usb c that doesĀnt care about its oriĀenĀtaĀtion when weve had that since the 1960s. the 3.5mm headĀphone jack was the uniĀverĀsal ultraĀdurable port. apple even made a device that used the 3.5mm headĀphone jack as the OG uniĀverĀsal port, the ipod shufĀfle 3rd gen. you could charge, send conĀtrol comĀmands, transĀfer data. and it nevĀer ever breaks, othĀer than the occaĀsionĀal pockĀet lint that can get in it. stop makĀing all these garbage cables that break if you hang them at a weird angle or insert them wrong side up/drop them. the 3.5mm headĀphone jack was indeĀstrucĀtible because it was and is still used in heavy use indusĀtry. if you need more bandĀwidth, the aviĀaĀtion grade headphone/microphone jacks are also a thing like for all radio sets on air planes. those plugs are indeĀstrucĀtible, and surĀvive 20+ years of hard daiĀly use. usbc is meh. a soluĀtion to a probĀlem that didĀnt realĀly exist until apple startĀed disĀapĀpearĀing indusĀtry stanĀdard ports to make more money.
WireĀlessā audio is comĀpĀresed and its crap. Thereās no betĀter way to put it
Car ā horse comĀparĀiĀson only works if
The horse is faster
The horse is 1/20 the price
