Honestly prehistoric 3.5mm audio connector is for losers. True audiophiles are using 2.5mm or 4.4mm balanced audio with headphones like Beyerdynamic T1, SENNHEISER HD 820 or alike and play music on proper music players like Astell&Kern A&futura SE200, Shanling M8, Sony WM1Z Walkman and so on :) --- End quote --- Fair enough, but you can get excellent results driving a set of decent headphones via a 3.5mm headphone jack... And then there's the fact that the girls like wired headphones, so who's the loser now? :D https://www.teenvogue.com/story/wired-headphones-2021-it-accessory It is fair to say that the Airpods (and similar) are great, but have introduced some problems of their own that the previous tech didn't have. I am thinking of: (1) Added cost, (2) Have to keep'em charged, (3) The batteries wear out in ~2 years. If the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for you, fine. But you have to accept that not everyone comes to the same conclusion! |

What's a "quack DAC" and who thinks it is more important than what buffer is used to actually drive the headphone load? ;) |

So I'm totally fine with not having them connected anywhere. Just stuff the cable in your pocket. :-DD --- End quote --- |

BTW I prefer function to fashion/religion and use what is best for occasion. When sitting @computer - I will be using decent wired over-ear headphones. As soon as I expect myself moving, I do not put studio headphones in my pocket, but rather BT earbuds. Charging is not an issue either - because earbud case can receive charging wirelessly from phone back-to-back. |
