I meant the one made elsewhere in this thread where I explain why I don't think it's a shit argument. I think the wireless is a legitimate upgrade over wired when we're talking about a mobile phone.
I'm trying to point out that your "pro" of better fidelity doesn't mean anything in a space where people aren't using a lossless format, and so aren't taking advantage of that extra fidelity anyway. This is admittedly an area I'm not strong in, so I could well be wrong, but I don't think there's any difference between wired and wireless when the source is Spotify.
Alright, this is fair. It would be great to keep the option for both. However, I don't think it's fair to knock Fairphone for not offering this option though, particularly because it takes space on the pcb and is an extra component cost (yes, a small one, I admit)
People are calling it a money grab move to not include a headphone jack, and I just don't think that's fair.
Some people do, though.
It's absolutely fair because there's no other legitimate explanation for removing it while simultaneously introducing your brand new wireless headphones. Just like there was no other legitimate explanation when Apple or Google or Samsung did it.
Fairphone's entire brand is built around "sustainability" and they just shit all over it, so people are rightfully disappointed.
