        Same. I’ve used the 3.5mm port for my truck daily for the past 10 years. Don’t need it as much now that I got a new truck, but I still use it when I ride my motorcycle. Bluetooth earbuds just don’t fit under my helmet.

          Bluetooth intercom with helmet speakers are a game changer!

          Can also keep earplugs in, which is good to avoid worse tinnitus than what I already have…

          It’s not better, it’s more convenient. Bluetooth earbuds are basically not repairable and they’re more expensive than their wired counterparts if you want something decent. The call quality is also worse due to bluetooth’s limitations.

          Both types of headphones have their pros and cons and both can coexist. Don’t be dumb, don’t defend companies taking away options for no good reason other than planned obsolesence.

          The phones with a headphone jack also had Bluetooth support though.

          This isn’t an either/or

      Wouldn’t those be warm hands? Pretty sure the S9 was the one that caught fire all the time? Or was that the S7?
