Meh, I was skeptical of losing the headphone jack but my $18 Anker wireless earbuds have been fantastic so now I'm a believer in the wireless audio future.

I've been using Bluetooth in my car to stream music for a long time now and ive had bluetooth earbuds for the last year so im believer, i just don't believe in taking away features that dont need to be taken away.

there are still plenty of times where a headphone jack can be useful. when you run out of charge, if youre at someone elses house but then dont have any bluetooth receiver.

maybe in the future when bt headphone batteries last more than a day i might be able to get behind the idea a bit more

Yep, I also ordered a $20 set of Mpow bluetooth headphones on Amazon ~3 years back, and they have been just great. While the sound quality is not that good, it is good enough for my daily gym and running sessions. Ive also used them in the rain without any problems

It’s a little surprising that a lot of people seem to think that decent Bluetooth headphones must be fairly expensive
