So many people go boomer argument mode over this because they don't like change, but their anger is clearly misplaced. The 3.5mm is not the king of audio connectors and never was, it's death could very easily have been a good thing.

Why the fuck didn't headphone makers start offering USB-C devices once phones pulled this move? My PC mobo from 2017 has a C port that could be used for this, I'm certain computers could have easily adapted (and they're the way smaller market anyway). Is it just because apple had to be special with their lightning bullshit? If so, they'd better start it up now!

Instead of being able to buy new cans with the wire that my phone uses I have to snag an adapter. Not a BIG deal but this change is over 5 fucking years old, we should have these devices as the norm now to avoid all of the fucking issues we're currently looking at

Usb is a carrying digital signals for the most part while headphonea are analog. So you have 2 options:

  1. Implement some janky non-standard analog audio in some usb alternate mode that will only work with some devices
  2. Add a digital to analog converter in the plug itself, which is more complex and expensive

Both options prevent you from chanrging while using headphones unless you use a splitter or wireless charging which is not ideal

3.5 mm may not be the king, but it's extremly simple and fairly robust and has little to no disatvantages except for wireless headphones sales ofc. You don't have to charge these heqdphones, you don't have to worry about losing one of them.

Wireless headphonwa have their uses, I doubt they benefit the majority of people tho.
