What is the verdict on phones without headphone jacks?
Did you guys get brain cancer with all the wireless music? Are the fears of the consumers greatly exagerated?

>>108910790
Depends if both the phone and headphone support LC3 audio (ala LE) as that is currently the safest in terms of radiation exposure. SBC bluetooth audio is both laggy as fuck and sounds like ass.

Bluetooth radiation exposure is nowhere near as bad as 5G radiation exposure and even that's nowhere near as bad as solar radiation exposure. They're all poison but if solar radiation is akin to drinking water contaminated with lead then bluetooth radiation is akin to vitamic C poisoning by eating too many oranges...
>>
A type C DAC + cheapo chink IEMs is the best way to enjoy audio anyway.
Jacks are only useful for turbo poorfags who can't even spend $30 on chi-fi to get the best audio experience possible.
>>
I only listen to youtube music videos

>Bluetooth radiation exposure is nowhere near as bad as 5G radiation exposure and even that's nowhere near as bad as solar radiation exposure.

Except that insignificant bluetooth is shot directly through your fucking brain. There are no long term studies on it. Why take the risk? Kek. Stay away from that shit. There are plenty of phones with headphones jac.

By that logic, we should be doing everything in our power to block out the sun. Solar radiation = thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands???? times more damaging than a bluetooth radiation, and yes it goes through your whole body.

Like that's why humans invented clothing. To block out solar radiation but over time we discovered that this isn't that good of an idea because solar radiation is required to produce Vitamin D, which explains why Africans in the US exhibit dangerous agressive/metnally ill behavior because instead of running around in loincloths to generate Vitamin D from their volcanic solar radiation resistant skin they're covered head to toe in clothing (ie you'll see them wearing sweaters even at room temp).

The point is ALL radiation is poison but they're not equal.

>Did you guys get brain cancer with all the wireless music?
No idea if that's possible, but I've heard of cancer treatment methods that are based on electric field being created right in the brain with wires and such. Obviously that electric field is very strong and applied locally. But it's interesting that it impacts brain cells so much it disrupts good and bad cells' life cycles. So sometimes it helps cure that brain cancer, although like most cancer treatment methods it is harmful. But since it increases your chances of surviving cancer, that harm means little.
That's differenct for a healthy person, obviously.
I wonder if any new studies were done on corellation between particular ways of using mobile devices and cancer rates.

No it doesn't, if it did then we would have never invented clothes at all. It's a double edged sword, radiation. Nowhere near as black and white as people want it to be.

Without solar radiation we'll all go fucking nuts due to plumetting Vitamin D levels. What you see in the US regarding Africans is probably the biggest warning mother nature is trying to give us.

That's one of the greatest fears by smart people if WW3 goes down. Everyone who survives in bunkers is going to go batfuck insane as the skies turn black.

I got a Dell BH200 A2DP headset in like 2009 and didn't think much of it until my fucking cat started making ALL of my headphones cordless, at which point I was forced to use it, and saw the light. My current go-to is the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2. Basically only leaves my head at bedtime or shower.

These are garbage because USB-C is utter garbage. Connection is always failing. I've had as many problems with USB-C cables in the last 3 years years as with 1/8th headphone jacks in like, 45 years. Which is funny because it's not like headphone jacks were known to be particularly robust and reliable, but they are incredible compared to the absolute shit-show that is USB-C. Anyone who defends it is an embarassing corpo cuck and no amount of cope and deflection about "poorfags" changes this embarrassing cuckoldry.

Yeah people like high-quality photos. Maybe we hit a local optimum 3-4 years ago with the camera quality on the higher end phones of the time, and since then it's been "good enough" for normalfags, but it's hard to deny that the picture quality on the higher-end iPhones (and Android competitors close behind) drove sales for awhile.

USB C connector is significantly more fragile than a 3.5mm jack
Already own 3.5mm headphones, don't particularly want to buy more just because one device doesn't have a port
Dongles are bulky and annoying
Can't charge while headphones are plugged in without a second, even more bulky and more annoying split dongle
Steve Jobs is a fag
>>
3.5mm jacks are great.

Keeps quality headphones cheap and uses less battery power than transmitting an additional signal.
Why would you prefer an additional wireless device that cannot get wet, has a battery you must charge and keep track of the charge level that degrades keeping less and less charge and eventually the speaker and mic degrades over time and must be replaced anyways, just for much more.
Oh and is one more valuable thing to be stolen.
And is not compatible with every legacy device that has a 3.5mm jack.
I can plug pc headphones in, use male to male for stereo, pc, cars, and not use an interceptable hackable or trackable signal. The transfer between devices through 3.5mm is also pure anolog no risk from attaching your phone to something that can pass on malware or viruses. Connecting via bluetooth is a data connection with all the accompanying security risks.

they upsell you on 2 aspects that are extremely misleading
>repairability/durability
parts are not any cheaper, although the repairs are a bit easier
and now that the eu is forcing easy repairs that gap keeps getting smaller and smaller
the worst offence here is selling phones with 7 years of software updates that never materialised because the hardware couldnt cope with modern versions of android
>environmental impact
this is the most misleading, according to environmental impact assessment there is no meaningful difference between them and the big manufacturers

in the end you are getting bottom of the barrel hardware for a premium price
its marketing for yuppies, youre buying an idea not a phone
