Take into consideration that the headphone jack and Bluetooth (wireless) headphones were available and working well before manufacturers got rid of the jack in the name of improvements.<p>Consider that some devices still have the headphone jack and same improvements as those without the jack.<p>It is to my knowledge that ports provided for the headphone “jack-less” devices are not interoperable. Will you say this is good for the industry and importantly the consumer?
Its terrible for the consumer. Instead of a thousand affordable options for whatever kind of headphone you want, there are far fewer options and even expensive wireless earbuds/headphones suffer from latency, making them almost worthless. I've never had a bluetooth device of any kind that was even close to 100% reliable where I didn't occasionally have to mess with settings to get it to pair properly.
