For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Fuck modern features; gimme back my god damn 3.5mm audio port.

I don't understand why people love the 3.5mm port so much. Can you enlighten me?

I've always been a bluetooth lover, and maybe it's my noob ears, but I can't tell the diff between 3.5mm sound and bluetooth sound.

So I can use my pair of headphones for everything. They work in my phone, my DJ mixer, my computer, and the broadcast board at the radio station. They never have technical malfunctions, there is no interference, and never run out of power.

Bluetooth it's oh so perfect, it sounds like god playing the music himself and nothing ever takes too long to pair. I threw away my vinyl and CDs to listen to Spotify on low setting like the musicians intended

A 3.5mm for mixing? I'm with you on all the other stuff, but that's garbage without RCA.

I have a 3.5 to 1/4" adapter that screws on my headphones and use that.

My Pioneer mixer does have a 3.5 input as well, but seems to fragile with it in it so I am there with you.
