minus-squarepjhenry1216@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 months agoIt’s like complaining a new PC doesn’t come with USB-A and only USB-C. Design decisions shouldn’t always be up to the end user. Every single option can’t always be included forever and ever. If you want wired for quality, you need a DAC anyway. If you want wired otherwise, leave the adapter on your headphones. Don’t let your inability to adapt stifle actual developmental progress.
