But the truth is, is that most people don't use wired in headphones anymore. Those that do, are truly in the minority.


Okay, you jumped off the cliff with that one. That's not even remotely true.

Let me guess, you're like 30+ years old?

I'm 26 and honestly don't know a single person, who isn't in the music industry apart from myself and I own both, who uses wired headphones. It's all bluetooth because it's easiest for working out.

I guess my mom has some? She's like 55.

I'm usually listening to music, watching Netflix, or a movie while my SO is sleeping, so the headphones are vital. I'm not buying a cheap piece of shite headphones when I already have a nice $200 pair


Yep. I have earbuds in my ears for about 4 hours a day everyday.

I'm 26


I'm almost 35. I own 2 or 3 different sets of bluetooth headphones as well as bluetooth speakers. I also happen to walk around a college campus every day. And, 99% of the people I see that are 17-20 walking around are wearing wired headphones.

I just returned from Las Vegas and a tech conference with over 23,000 people attending. 99% of the people I saw with headphones were wearing wired headphones. On a subway? yep. airplane? yep. bus? yep. Nearly every person I see everywhere wears wired headphones.

I do agree with you in one thing. I'm shocked Apple included the adapter for free.

I feel like Apple headphones are uncomfortable for everyone to begin with.

At this point, it doesn't appear that way.

I was thinking the new Beats earbuds would come in at that price. They hit us with the basic airpods at that price...

I'm around a college campus every single day as well and college athletes. Every single one of them uses the wireless Beats.

I'm not saying people don't OWN wired headphones, because like I said earlier, I have a pair of wired Sennheisers and a bluetooth set of Beats for working out.

I just don't know anyone who has any problem using bluetooth headphones or let alone, doesn't own a pair.

Maybe it's just because I'm younger, I don't know.

So how about Phil's hypocrisy about getting away from wired yet you still have to plug in to charge...
