With wireless headphones you can also charge your phone and listen at the same time

Yes, but that's not the point. The point is that if I want to use wired headphones, I can't charge my phone. Something I was able to do before, and now it's a "privilege" for wireless users. It's bullshit.

What phone do you have where you can't charge it and use wired headphones?!

I might be out of the loop lol. Is that an iPhone thing? I use android.

I don't own one. I had to buy one without a phone jack out of necessity (needed a phone right that second), but that's what I've been hearing. You need a dongle to connect your wired earbuds, and while you're using the dongle, you can't charge your phone.

Has this changed?

JFC y'all are dumb. Just get a goddamn splitter. It's not "privilege" that you get to keep using lead paint in your house, when you can do the same thing without the drawbacks or the lead.

What a weak ass analogy. A mini-jack doesn't harm anybody.

How can you say that! It harms the shareholders of wireless earphones manufacturers!
