My phone, laptop, & DAP all conveniently have a headphone jack so I can enjoy better quality sound, with no lantency, no spotty connectivity, no pairing lag, no need for firmware upgrades or proprietary apps, a cheaper price, easy to find the monitors since they are tethered together, & with better sustainability without lithium ion batteries while never have to worry about charge either.
I understand the complaints because I hated it when Pixel dropped the jack. But it can be a smoother process than jacks.
I get in my car and no longer fumble to pull my phone out and plug it in. Pairing is quicker than plugging in a cable.
When doing yardwork I used to have to fish my cord through my shirt or it would get caught and yanked out by a tree branch. Even then it was cumbersome because of too much slack or too little slack causing disconnects or snags.
It’s not perfect. A downside that still might exist (I bypassed the problem years ago so I don’t know if they ever fixed it.) was Google’s auto pairing that wasn’t able to be turned off. When I walked close to the house from outside, my phone would decide on its own to pair with speakers in the house. But that’s a Google problem, not Bluetooth. It didn’t exist with Nexus because you could manually control pairing.

What was the upside of wireless again?
The upside is “my phone is a bitch and doesn’t have a jack.”
I fucking wish, but GrapheneOS was more important to me.
Edit: oh sorry just realized you’re on .ml, “my phone is a doody-head and doesn’t have a jack.”
Whereas my approach is the opposite where I refuse GrapheneOS since I can’t have headphone jack 😄
Understandable lol, it’s my only complaint (well and no microSD.)
I have both :)

EWaste is a problem.
