Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?

    I’m daily commuting via train. There are USB chargers everywhere in the cars, so this is pretty significant. And don’t tell me to buy another wireless gadget I have to charge before I go - or some USB buds that won’t work with my other devices, since USB-C is just a plug, not a Standard.

        Why do you need to carry a second cable?

        Also the charging case for wireless earbuds is easier to carry than wired headphones.
