I can’t imagine having to use a cord for a headset in 2022. My AirPods switch seamlessly between my Mac, iPad, Watch and MacBook. Cords her tangled, caught in things are horrible for running etc.

Not to mention that would I run and go to the gym with just my watch.

I have AirPods, but also several sets of earbuds, IEMs, and quality headphones. Once a week I grab a set and realize I can’t plug it in. Doh!
But you look like this guy.

There’s something retro and cool about cords.

Cultural norms change. Everyone thought that the people were going to look silly and pretentious when the AirPods came out. Now it’s normal. The same with the Apple Watch.
