in case you haven't heard the next iPhone might not have a headphone jack I said in case you haven't heard the next iPhone might not have a headphone jack sorry I was listening to sweet tunes on my son hyzers over here did you just say that the next iPhone might not have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack yes what kind of rock have you been living under oh my god well anyway if that happens there are likely going to be two ways that you can listen to music on your iPhone there might be some sort of new standard that Apple comes up with or maybe you'll listen through your lightning port or you can use Bluetooth headphones which I already use bluetooth headphones oh no hurting my ears sorry here are the main differences between Bluetooth headphones and wired regular headphones the main thing to know about Bluetooth headphones is that they pair wirelessly magically if you will with all of your gadgets so main thing to know about Bluetooth headphones is that they generally suck that's not true well from a quality perspective it's taken bluetooth headphones a while to reach adequate levels of sound quality and even now you're still going to get better sound from a pair of Wired headphones like these I mean you don't see professional audio engineers using bluetooth headphones like that do you yeah but wires I don't have to deal with wires though still have a wire the wire just goes from the earbud to the earbud instead of from the headphones to the phone look let me tell you all the things that are annoying about those bluetooth headphones for one you have to charge them I mean who wants to wear a pair of headphones that you have to charge all the time but battery life has gotten pretty good with Bluetooth headphones I mean some pairs even get up to 12 hours who do you know that listens to music for 12 hours straight but then you still have to pair them so when you get that unexpected phone call or you're running late to a conference call and you need to hop on quickly meaning have to actually take the time to pair your phone with your headphones you can't just go like this just once one second I'm just carrying these okay yeah but once I'm paired I mean I'm completely untethered I can throw my phone in my purse or my pocket and just walk around you know hands-free untethered okay I could see the value and being untethered but I still don't think the trade-offs are worth it you know what else Bluetooth headphones are awesome for working out you can still use these to work out or these you just have to keep your music on your phone attached yeah that looks cool anyway seriously Bluetooth headphones are great for exercising you can just tuck your phone in your pocket or your gym bag and then you can remotely control your music if your Bluetooth headphones have a little remote like this these have a remote too so do these but these headphones don't get tangled I mean honestly how many hours of your life have you spent untangling headphones before you don't have to worry about that with Bluetooth headphones these aren't these they don't tangle all that much and they like just well these these don't because they're bigger and better right listen wireless headphones are the future in fact some companies aren't just making wireless headphones they're making completely Wire free ear buds you stick into your ears and control from in there so this is the way the industry is moving you might not like Bluetooth headphones but you have to admit they have their benefits and someday soon the 3.5 millimeter Jack may be a thing of the past you can stick with your Bluetooth headphones I love my wired headphones the sound quality is better I don't need to charge them and if I need to use them quickly I can just stick them in somewhere I don't need to take the time to pair them it's that simple do I need a new audio standard or an adapter in order to have this experience and not really sometimes I think that new technology is a solution in search of a problem sorry what was that they said sometimes I think new technologies are solution in search of a problem love songs
