  Macbooks still have a headphone jack.

  Did it? All of the laptops I've gotten in the past 5 years still have those ports. But I don't buy Apple stuff.

  It’s so dumb. I’m obviously going to keep using non-proprietary headphones. Even if I have to buy a whole docking station with an aux jack.

  I love the destruction of the aux. It forced me to get a wireless headset, and I no longer have to bother untangling wires, or buying a new crappy headset every 2-3 weeks because the wires would break. Also, the quality of the sound in my wireless headset is waaaay better than any wired I ever tried.

  Sure, they cost more, but the quality and convenience are so worth it, and I wouldn’t have done the switch if I hadn’t been forced.

      What is the conversion process for the audio?

        You have to convert the audio to a bluetooth compatible codec like LDAC instead of just using the audio file. This compresses the signal and loses data.

  I also missed the headphone jack until I was running one day and I got tripped by the wire.

  I still want more USB ports. Just two ports, Apple? WT fridge?
