Rise And Fall Of America's Favorite Tech Gadgets
I use wired headphones simply for the fact that I won't lose them as easily as wireless earbuds.
I likes it because I don’t have to charge it.
They have better sound quality too.
czcams.com/video/sx1oSdJ2NG0/video.html
Yeah they are right a $500 phone is enough for me and it has a jack.
I work in landscaping - just last year I found at least 10-15 wireless earbuds in lawns, mulch beds, and planters. We will find them in our material yard quite often, and none of my co workers use wireless earbuds.
I still like the headphone jack because when you are travelling and using the phone for music or audiobooks your bluetooth headphone might just run out of power which is frustrating..
Sony still offers flagship and mid range phones with a headphone jack
Sony phones feature waterproof at least 2 years ahead and still has headphones jack
I agree I see that but everyone is such an Apple fanboy and fan girl.
I'll have to look into it. They should be rewarded for that. I have the Sony Bravia TV.
@@OneAdam12Adam Me too.
Yup I got a Sony Xperia 1 III 👍
I have a Sony Xperia sola which will be a teenager in a few months and has been used continuously for the past 13 years, with at least 2 hours a day listening to music on the ATH-M20X, M30X, M60X, WS1100IS and WP900 (the stereo jack has been plugged in and out a thousand times). Two years ago, in the summer, I was at my cottage in the mountains, and coming home one evening, I took the shortcut where you have to jump over a river about two meters wide and about half a meter deep. Since there is no light there, I use the flashlight on my phone and before I jump I put it in my pocket, as I have done hundreds of times before, but this time the phone decided that it should fall in the middle of the river. Thanks to his flashlight being on I was able to get him out of the river almost instantly, he was under water for no more than five seconds but not only is this phone not waterproof it also has a million holes in the case, I immediately turned it off and while I walked to the house, disassembled it and disconnected the battery from the socket. I left it open on a fan heater for 2-3 hours, put it back together and the phone has been working flawlessly ever since. Keep in mind that at the time of the incident, this is an 8-year-old mid-range phone, which, on top of that, is not even on standby, but is fully active.
The same reason they removed your ability to simply get a new battery for your device. Nothing is ever a pro customer move. Remember that.
For under laying trends, Yes. But it's more nuanced than that. Because capitalism is destroying itself.
Actually, there is more to it than capitalism. Having a battery that can be removed cannot achieve the IPX rating for dust and water ingress in any device.
@@aspmusic5904 Wow, you believe that marketing strategy lol. Even if that were true would you be comfortable with your 800 dollar smart phone near a faucet? I doubt that.
Motorola walkie talkies are full fledged waterproof and they don't have all that fancy IPX stuff. I may need to use on of those and not these ridiculously expensive pocket pals.
@@ErectkyleDysfunction yawn. Yes I do use my water phone near a faucet.
That's actually making a return in Europe
It is in fact the best feature a phone could have for many many reasons nobody has yet posted on CZcams that I've seen yet
Best thing about it is with a spare battery you basically can charge the spare battery separately while using the other battery in the phone thus.... you are never tethered to another charging cable ever again.
Man the early 2000s was the golden era of cell phones. Now all phones look the same.
Yea and they all SUCKED.
@@ottomanbeatsofficial wdym sucked? You could make phone calls, it's a phone. Serving its purpose.
Gadgets we have now are computers with phone function, what we had before were computers, of that time, capable of sustaining phone function.
Now go buy a new IPhone, spend $1000+ to make fing phone calls.
they still sucked. they weent cheap either. the basic flip phone was like 500$, but yet people complain about an iphone being 1000$ which is a tiny computer in your pocket@@vibetribe52
@@vibetribe52I do waaaaaay more on my phone than make phone calls. Especially as a graphic designer. I appreciate the big screen. My hands are big as hell. That’s actually the sole reason I changed because I couldn’t type well on a the keyboards. I appreciate the fast pace software. I appreciate I can send more than a text. I definitely appreciate I don’t have to use zoom or other video software to talk with my friends. And as a graphic designer, if I don’t have my computer by my side, I can easily get my graphics and send them where they need to go. As a photographer, I appreciate the fact that the camera on phones today can serve as temporary replacements in case I can’t get my hands on an actual camera. I appreciate the big amount of storage you get on phones today because for people like me, that’s exactly what I need. And also as someone who loves music, having my music right on my phone at my disposal instead of having to grab a portable CD like I did when I was growing up is epic. I come from the era of flip phones and portable dvd and CD players and although I miss some of those gadgets, I understand fully why they are replaced. Yall are legit showing yalls age. And I’m a person that typically likes to keep things traditional. But my phone and gadgets are not one of those things. If phones were like they were in the 2000s while everything else has advanced, I would be highly dissatisfied.
No matter how many times these companies try to market this idea, let me make it clear as an audiophile:
I. like. my. wired. headphones.
Me too!!!
True. There is also the interference issue between bluetooth and wifi which leads to audio stuttering from time to time. With wired, you don't have to deal with all this stuff. And you need to keep it charged always which is also a nuisance. Apple solved a problem that was non existent to make money and everyone followed suite!
same here , will not buy without the earphone jack present . .
theres alot of wired headphones with a lightning connector now, its a really clean sound too
As a musician, and professional, headphone jacks and ports are there because they. just. work.
Getting rid of the headphone jack is a necessary measure to create demand for wireless headsets by the manufacturers.
It worked!
I got both cause Sony kept the jack 💪
czcams.com/video/t4ALnmhoDwA/video.html
Glad that the headphone jack is away. I really find wired headphones too cumbersome to use.
@@migs232Congrats, you win the dumbest youtube comment of the year award. Just HAVING a headphone jack doesn't mean you have to USE it.
"Mentions LG as one of the last smartphone manufacturers with a headphone jack, over 6 months after LG decided to exit the smartphone business.."
This is one of the biggest Apple promotions I have ever seen. How do you talk about the Mid-2000's and not bring up the T-Mobile Sidekick??? Or Palm Pilots??
For real. 90% of my high school had a Sidekick or LG enV because they were texting beasts with good cameras.
The Sidekick was EVERYWHERE! Also missed Blackberry's iconic scroll ball.
Sidekick and palm treo were only good things out... Steve jobs was no super hero lol what loser fanboys out there
@@throttleblip1 Facts!
They kept headphone jacks until they were relevant and after mass market bluetooth earbuds became q thing they removed it.
Remember Apple ridiculed saying Iphone 4 does not need go be any bigger. There was Galaxy Note at that time. Note 1 basically changed the industry.
Sony still got the jack 💪
Because you know what I want when I'm listening to music? A notoriously-unreliable wireless signal that cuts-out periodically and starts blasting my music through the phone speaker instead.
Make a pair of wireless earbuds that never lose connectivity and don't need to be recharged for 20 years, and you'll finally have a better product than wired earbuds.
@@deusexaethera true
90% of the reasons they claim to have removed the headphone jack are complete BS, its all about money and that the only reason. 80% profit isnt enough for them, mr ceo needs another jet.
calling a $500 phone a cheap phone is not only ironic but infuriating
And then suggesting that you probably can't afford $100 headphones if you can only afford a cheap $500 phone 🙄
That's right I totally agree with you.
@@joeg5414500 is chump change .. you must be like 13 years old or something 🤣🤣
forget the ipod. it was walkman that truly set the standard for small audio output jacks
True
Interesting documentary that focuses on 5 companies. Corning was the most interesting to me. Didnt realize glass had so many possibilities. Would love to watch more videos like this
Corning and Gopro for me. Loved the GoPro story.
Me too. I am going to buy some Corning stocks after watching this.
Wireless headphones are great but unusable in professional settings where the delay from the Bluetooth signal makes it impossible to synchronize audio and video signal.
headphone jack isnt dying for android users
czcams.com/video/t4ALnmhoDwA/video.html
Watching youtube using bluetooth headphones, it's out of sync.
@@saulgoodman2018 I don't mind a few milliseconds delay when watching youtube, but when I sync or clip audio and video in my productions it is very annoying.
@@PierreH1968 I do mind it.
Everytime they mentioned LG I cry RIP
They still make great washers and dryers!
Had all the cheap phones from them, n I mean every 1
Was just about to ccomment--- and I saw this....
When they said " other manufacturers like LG... ” I was like , wow, when is this video from? ??
The Jack 3,5 mm was already an audio standard plug much before the Sony Walkman...!
I was thinking the same thing! They went from telephone operators to the Walkman, without mentioning anything in between. Ridiculous.
Wired headphones don't have battery issues, loss of autonomy and specialized charging pods dependencies
I still rock my wire headphones period ... I can't stand poor audio quality
When did CNBC start doing hour-long documentaries on CZcams
Since theit tv programming blows
CNBC actually has dope segments and mini-documentary specials...I believe this one is a combination of some of their episodes...have fun going down their rabbit-hole - SILLY WABBIT!!
Pretty sure this is a compilation of their smaller 10-15 minutes documentaries
Really happy with how you addressed the headphone jack issue 👍
I HATE phones without a jack !
Not trying to be a smart ass but all you need is a $5 adapter and then you can plug in your wired headphones. So basically a headphone jack is redundant to have.
@@pbassassinz8097 Nahhhh, you completely missed the point.
@@edwardfletcher7790 Missed your point maybe everyones opinion is different you stated you hate phones without a jack all im saying is $5 dollar adapter and now the phone has a jack that is all.
@@pbassassinz8097 The point is Apple removed the Jack to force people to buy expensive adaptors. Unless you buy it you can't charge and listen thru wired headphones/wired car stereo like even a $49 phone can. Its a SCAM
@Edward Fletcher hahah, you people still exist. they removed the headphone jack to reduce the thickness of the phone. the macbooks still have headphone jacks.... it's obvious you missed the point
The headphone jack is the thickest part of the phone? Funny I don't remember phones having headphone jack humps the way phones have camera module humps now.
I'm watching this video on a dongle.
I use my iOS devices mainly for business. I need that headphone jack to interface with presentation hardware like projectors and audio systems that might be found on my customers' premises and in school/university lecture halls.
Ok so buy the $5 adapter then. How do you even have any customers for any business but don't know that you should be running a lemonade stand.
@@pbassassinz8097 That's just what Apple hoped you'd say. I already have half a dozen different adapters for video and dongles screen casting. I don't want to spend more money on adapters - nobody does. I want a headphone jack.
And by the way, that $5 adapter you mentioned is actually $9 on Apple's website.
I like the headphone jack but it has nothing to do with not being to afford wireless as mentioned here and much more to do with not having to charge something else. It is annoying when you are using bluetooth and it dies. You don't have that issue for devices using the headphone jack. So especially if I am at home, I will 100% use wired.
I can afford wireless but can't afford to buy everytime i lose it.
Headphone jack for life
Yeah Bluetooth is handy, but wired headphones/headset will not die on you during a call))
The only situation that wired headphones work is in a recording studio.
Where's the sponsored by Apple disclaimer?
Just watched three Videos back to back and enjoyed the awesome history and a look back on some of the amazing products and Companies.Thanks so much for sharing ✌️
The fact that you don't have to charge a traditional headphone is the reason why I'll always love and use them.
It's not always that people cannot afford $159 for the pods, it's also that people have that money but also have more sense.
I have the irobot vacuum and mop robots, and I can honestly say i don't think i can live without them! The feeling of coming to a clean home after long day of work is just too good! Especially if you have pet. The shiny floor is everything.
Zzzzzz😊😮
I want the headphone jack back. That's why I'm still holding onto my S10.
S20fe or the a51 a71. Plays music great built in DAC
Love your videos bro vary informative and very detail. Got one question between the evo and anc 2 who is the king interms of bass and overall sound.
I find it funny that nobody gives the Sony Xperia any credit about the headphone jack. I currently own the Xperia 1 MK III and absolutely love this thing. And it's a flagship. While Apple, Samsung and Google has removed the headphone jack and sd card slot (Samsung), Sony brought back the headphone jack after seeing what everybody else is doing and still have the sd card slot. After the Xperia 1 MK 1, they brought back the headphone jack on the MK II models and moving forward. I've owned both the Xperia XZ 2, XZ 3 and while they are good phones, I hated the dongle. I alway lose it. Just my imo.........
Exactly. It's just that barely anyone knows Sony still offers flagship and mid range phones with a headphone jack
That's because of these CZcams phone people never talk about Sony so they don't know such a phone exists
I have the X5MK2 and man... I love it in every way EXCEPT... no removable battery
Sony should have an X line does have a removable battery feature which would be amazing because with a spare battery you essentially will never be tethered to a charger cable again since you will be charging the spare while using the battery in the phone
Other then that.. I'm actually surprised more people are not getting Xperias they are rock solid feature rich phones
People don't want more features on phones now it seems by the way the phone industry is
@@iamdalibor I'm glad you got the Mark II 👍. Yea people are missing out....
Even though I haven't used regular headphone in a year, they still have better sound than Bluetooth.
I still miss the quality of my cheap wired earphones. My bluetooth earbuds don't have that same sound. I didn't realize my Google Pixel 4 didn't have a headphone jack until i bought it :(
Wow so if your phone has a headphone jack it's now considered low-budget phone
yep.. my low end 2018 Samsung J2 Pro has a jack and removeable battery.. great phone too.
GoPro had ONE good idea.
Everything since then has been reacting to competitors and mistakes while paying the CEO far too much money !!!
Seeing as more and more Wireless headphone options are being put out in the market, audiophiles will surely agree with me that going wired is the best way to enjoy tunes! Very interesting take!
Find me a pair of wireless headphones that don't need to be recharged for 20 years, and I'll buy them.
Sound production is used with analog sound for a reason..
@Geeks: Since the charging time is takes forever and the sound quality is an abomination, clearly, you're collecting a paycheck for making this pathetically erroneous claim. Or you're just clearly insane.
Apple airpods and Air Buds sales prove customers don't care about audio quality.
Audiophiles use their phones to enjoy their tunes? Make it make sense.
The reason the Motorola RAZR is slick is because it's inspired from the Star Trek communicator
Learned alot thank you CNBC
The issue with these "low cost" devices that still have the headphone jack is the fact that people want the headphone jack AND high performance
Same with battery capacity
You can get a phone with cutting edge performance, but the battery capacity will be subpar,
but if you want decent battery capacity, you can get a 13,000mah phone, however you will be getting performance from 5 years ago
We need a device that is designed as a tool, not as a fashion accessory
If we were talking about phones being a tool, not an accessory...
They could also make the devices reasonably durable right out of the box. Instead of making them out of glass on both sides that extends all the way out to the soft aluminum corners, they could recess the screen slightly into a more durable chassis. That way it would have to fall directly on it's face onto an object protruding from the ground in order to break. We should expect a handheld device to be dropped frequently, and probably get wet occasionally.
@@somethingelse4424 the closest I have found to a phone designed as a tool, is the Ulefone power armor 13, I actually bought one specifically for the utility features, durability, and battery capacity
it's waterproof up to 1.5M, drop rated to 1.2m onto concrete, has a ring around the screen and rubber on the corners for drop protection, has a massive battery, has most of the bells and whistles that exist in modern flagships, it even has a laser rangefinder, expandable storage, a reprogrammable button, 48MP camera with 4K video recording, a headphone jack, and reverse wireless charging
But like all these devices, it is cursed with subpar specs in the form of a MediaTek G95 (which is serviceable for games, but is definitely not going to keep up with even last year's flagships) lack of an AMOLED display, and it's hard to get it repaired when it does break since spare parts are not readily available outside Asia
If it had an AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 888 or dimensity 1200, and was popular enough that parts are available in the west, it would be pretty much perfect
My first phone was a Samsung galaxy Ace GT 2012😢😢 Bring it back please 😭😭 was so easy to fit in my pocket even with headphones. But this new big phones make it hard to fit or carry anywhere without falling or being stolen on the streets. I miss those small phones

Have a roomba. Realized very quickly that its simply a novelty for a medium sized multilevel home. Constantly gets stuck in certain spots with warnings to untangle, can't do stairs and sometimes can't find its way back to the base station. Bought a lightweight\portable dyson which has proved to be much more practical and useful IMHO. Robot vaccums have a long way to go to replace existing vacuums.
Yeah, I would have never thought the Roomba would have survived in the market. I think it's the stupidest thing ever yet my wife loves it.
@@joeking433 For the roomba to work properly, you need to live in a single story home, there should be no obstructions and the place should literally be cleaned out (leaving aside a few bread crumbs and dust). Thats not very realistic IMHO and people will give up using it after a couple of months. The idea behind roomba was a great V1 but they really need to figure out these basic issues if they want mass adoption.
Yeah, I don't get it, and I don't like it, it's creepy.
Ours works great. Hardwood floors on both levels.
Very nice compilation. Although I've already watched all the videos, it's still nice to have a look back on them and see waht has happened.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing… I saw these videos when they came out one by one…
My iPhone 6 still (somehow) works five years in. It isn't much use as a phone anymore but it's great for listening to music with a headphone jack
It’s all about money. It always was and always is. Rather than leave it as an option, they remove it so you but the wireless headphones that can costs hundreds vs. a wired set, which you can get for less than $20.
I think people are moaning too much about the loss of headphone jack, there is still an option to get a micro USB to headphone jack dongle. It's fine if they make money they got bills, employees & loans to pay.
You can get pretty good Bluetooth earphones for $25, you can also get them for $300, it all depends on your budget and how "premium" you want to go.
@@Thapanirmal this is the first time I’ve seen someone defend cell phone companies’ profits. The dongle costs extra too. The fact is, they’d charge ten times what they do, if they could get away with it. These are multi billion dollar companies. They can easily afford to make a few million less dollars and still pay all the bills while staying super profitable
@@jonsmith7659 I get you but, the phones can be made thinner, more water proof or they could put a bigger battery 🔋 you know innovation
That's why I chose Sony
You guys know LG doesn't make mobiles anymore right?
ohhh, this was posted to CZcams on 2022-01-13 but the content was created much earlier. Got it.
Loved this documentary, thank you!
I'm thinking about switching to the cube. Do you know how much playback time it has?
iTunes sold copy-protected AAC, not MP3. MP3 has been popularized much earlier, Jobs hijacked this train, kicked out the driver and steered it where he wanted.
ALSO.... not having a jack, forces you to use Bluetooth which can be used to hack or track your communication or device. Did we forget Snowden and what he said? Same reason why you cannot remove battery on most phones......
That does make sense
I cannot believe what I am seeing it with my eyes! LOOL TY SO MUCH!
Funny I have a pair of Avantree Bluetooth headphones. They even have a 3.5mm audio jack on them. Because even with 40 hours of battery life sometimes you just want to plug in.
Nice to see Jerry if people were more independent thinkers they wouldn't allow a company to dictate to them what it is they want if after iphone removed the headphone jack people left their phones on the shelf by the next freaking year that headphone jack would have been back
And that's why I bought the Sony Xperia 1 mark 3 which has a headphone jack and all other features of 2021 flagship phones, another reason for me was micro sd card slot which also many phones these days lack of while charging 200-300usd premium over additional of 256gb storage which can be had for 50usd in micro sd form factor - one more reason for carriers to make people use their data while I can listen flac music from my phone with 1tb micro sd card. So removal of headphone jack and micro sd slots are pure marketing BS which people adopted by buying those feature-less phones...
I don't miss wired headphones what I miss is the absence of micro-SD cards. Obviously, they want consumers to have storage crunch and pay for cloud subscription and it seems to be working.
Sony still offers flagship and mid range phones with a SD card slot and headphone jack
Not on Xperias bud.
Xperias have it all even notification light (Sony actually removed this on the 5th gen of Xperias sadly boooo)
Where have you been?
Seems like now they are the only ones still offering this feature or one of think Asus also offers it on their ROG phones but I'm to lazy to check LoL
I guess SD and SIM slots are also to dang big now as well like the jack was aye
@@iamdalibor yea I'm disappointed that the notification led is gone! Sony should bring it back! I've brought this and other issues to Sony personally, so hopefully they will take note.
I'm so sick of these "cut to make" videos yet I still watch them. ugh
I'm surprised they even mentioned LG making phones with headphone jacks, considering LG got out of the phone business over a year ago.
This was made in 2019, and uploaded a month ago.
I can't use wireless earbuds they constantly fall out of my ear, but I love my wireless on-ear Bose headphones they work great. My music collection is all MP3s so getting a higher quality wired headset and DAC would just be wasted.
czcams.com/video/sx1oSdJ2NG0/video.html
My galaxy buds pro also often fall out of ears especially when I lay at my side
I just use a bluetooth receiver. That way I can use all my wired stuff. It also helps that some of my wired headphones/earphones have removeable cords, so I can get a shorter cord to attach to it or just use a small plug or official bluetooth attachment cords.
My Bose earbuds still fall out.
You are efficient and precise in your explanations. I am going to try your methods.
You missed how the Droid mini was supposed to get andriod 5, but got stuck forever on Android 4.4.4. And Motorola/Lenovo never have their customers a reason why
This entire program was super interesting. Corning was the most interesting to me as well! I had no idea that Corning developed Gorilla Glass and that they had been around for so long and played such a large part in our lives. Amazing!
The most hilarious part about the Corning Gorilla Glass story is, Corning developed it in the 1960s, couldn't find an application for it, filed-away the formula in their archives, and forgot it existed. They only rediscovered the formula by a lucky accident while cleaning out old records.
lets just agree to the fact that apple is purely money motivated
That’s what all companies are motivated by. These aren’t charities.
I've never really understood why people till today still use iPhone and the ridiculous reason is because of a camera. Nothing more but a flashlight on the back.
they are also Privacy motivated, the ONLY company which stood up to everyone to make privacy #1
@@superblondeDotOrg Correct, people value privacy as well
@@superblondeDotOrg It is an illusion of privacy, they protect you from third parties but Apple themselves will still track you.
Watching this i do not regret going wireless i love my airpod pro 2s. the software integration and being free from the wire is such an improvement
Excellent presentation. I love my bluetooth devices, GoPro vids, and tough glass coated phones and tablets. My home would destroy a Roomba 😄 Great new tech ideas. Cool stuff.
LG IS NOT MAKING PHONES ANY MORE .plz update
For gaming Bluetooth headphone sucks, the quality of wired is just way better
Nah, I don't think they will even make many wired headphones in a couple years. No one wants to snag a wire. You can get a fine pair like the Skullcandy Uproar Wireless headphones that are great. I was listening to music when all you had was wired headphones and never want to go back to snagging the wire constantly and breaking the input jack. Bluetooth headphones connect well and have a reliable signal that doesn't drop signal when you move like the old ones. What kind of wired headphones do you have and do you use them with your smartphone?
@@joeking433 Gaming devices will have wired headphones for a very long time by that time Bluetooth will definitely become better
Not for long. Lossless audio Bluetooth will be common in the next couple of years
the technology used for these wireless headphones are similar to infrared or antennas, distributing low frequency from right to left ear, basically slowly cooking your brain in-between. no worries though, they have not studied the long term effect and no body has complained any damage in-cases where that small battery explodes in the ears...
..and good thing that you said "apple popularize mp3" because i was enjoying my mp3 player way back 1998 when I was in asia.
2011 CR-Z owner here. Car is not too powerful… Yes, it’s only 110HP. But… it is one of the best hatchbacks for commuting and very very reliable. I only had to replace common wear and tear parts after 120K miles. IMA battery still running great at 140K miles. As long as you keep up to date on your regular maintenance, this car is a beast. I love it and plan to drive this car for a while!
Beloved headphone jack? What other choice did we have for a long time? People just don't want things to change lol
Sony
But why would you want change that makes things worse off in some cases? Case in point, wireless Bluetooth tech interferes with WiFi signals. So you can hear Audi stuttering from time to time when this occurs. Not to mention the constant need to charge the head set. I would have been more receptive of a wired standard that uses usbc and improved audio quality over this move. We got none of that.
Old videos with lots of outdated info. If you're going to rehash content, at least date mark them so people know when it's from.
And if you really cared, which I'm not convinced you do, you'd update outdated info before posting content
great work
Perfect!!!! Absolute perfection!!!

I'm watching the history of Motorola on a Motorola smartphone. Although I didn't get a chance to own the original Moto Razr... I'm definitely thinking about giving the new Moto Razor a try for sure! 👌🏾I currently using a Moto Z generation phone, so the new Razr would be a nice upgrade. 👍🏾
i am on motorola almost by accident ( moto g3, moto x4 and moto one action)... they got a unlockable bootloader, decent mid range devices without the bloat software you can not uninstall on samsung or Lg ... for context - i buy my phones in the €150 to €250 range and have a great contract for 4 mobile phone and a 250mb DSL at about +/- €50 a month .... love my x4 (IP67 waterproof) on lineage OS...
Absolutely true this. Cheap Chinese alternatives simply cannot match the sophistication and high-quality of materials for premium tech gadgets.
I've been using and abusing my Plantronics Voyager Edge for 7 years now - absolutely stunned by how reliable it is. High quality too.
The iRobot is genuinely great piece of kit, however I've been using the REDMI EVE Plus for 3 months now after returning the i356 iRobot Roomba. The EVE Plus is simply MUCH better value for money and does almost everything as good or better than the iRobot which is simply too expensive!
I keep my old electronics ,only brought my I-Pad, I-Pod, and my Acer 7. I use the old headphones.
Lol I have an old Moto phone and ya know what? I paid less than $200.00 for it and it does everything that I have ever needed as a business owner.
Corning does a lot, didn’t realize the plant I pass on a daily basis do so much! I know a few people who works for corning and they love there job!!
Woodman at Go Pro. Its a very common story. He earned so much money, placing him in the top .25% of richest people on Earth. Generally anyone wanting to make an even larger net worth is to do with power. Woodman comes across as a relatively normal person, and not a power hungry zealot.
"the thickest part of the phone is the headphone jack" - well, now the thickest part of the phone is the camera. let's get rid of it. i will never get over the fact they removed the headphone jack.
Hey enjoyed you video, keep them coming!
Roomba was singlehandedly the best purchase I made in last 5 years! I cannot imagine living without automatic washing machine, dishwasher AND robotic vacuum cleaner (Roomba was so far the best I have seen... my friends have their competitors from Samsung, LG and Electrolux and none of them can compare yet)
Roborock is very very solid. I've had absolutely no issues and it has a bunch of more in depth features.
Rovorock is better. Try it and you'll soon see what you've been missing out.
Ok baby
You can have my Roomba! I absolutely hate it!!! It doesn’t even vacuumed in a logical pattern. It just makes swirls on my carpet with the dog hair. It goes over areas it already did and then it dies. I gave it to my daughter who only has hardwood in her condo.
@@trudyziegler4977 well I guess it depends which model do you have. Mine have a camera and a carpet sensor. It never does what you described.
As an audiophile, I can tell the difference in sound quality between wired connection and Bluetooth through my quality headphones. It wasn't untill very recently that I gave up my old phone and found a portable headphone amp that handles a very new less compressed lossless Bluetooth. As an audiophile, a normal Bluetooth headphone receiver does not cut it, it needs it's own built in headamp, PCM/FLAC file handling ability and it's own generous sized battery. The only problem I had with my old phone was it did not have enough power to properly drive my 16 ohm cans

Wow working! Thanks a lot bro
Serious questions, why don't wired headphones just shift to being USB-C? Seems to make the most sense
There isn't an universal standard yet so an USB-C headphone from one brand may not work with another.
Since my old phone didn't have a headphone jack I used a dongle that allowed me to use the USB-C port on my phone with an aux cable. The problem is that when I used it on long road trips, I couldn't charge my phone while listening to Google maps and music. If the road was really bumpy, the volume would fluctuate a lot too because vibrations would affect the cable contacts. I honestly probably wouldn't have had those issues with a different phone or a different cable but it really soured my opinion on getting rid of the port. Bluetooth is another option but I'd have to upgrade the audio system in every vehicle I own, which is not worth the money either.
Watching this video on Google Pixel 5 (with 5G; released in October 2020). Still have jack. And camera is still thicker than jack.
i wonder what could’ve happened to the world be if greed wasn’t a thing
The USB-C port on the iPhone 15 series has led to wired headsets coming back to iPhone, so let's see how that plays out.
Apples removal of the floppy drive and the CD drives from their macs is a good example of them moving the industry forward. Those are now hilariously antiquated pieces of technology and their exclusion allowed for better laptops. The space that had been used for the CD drive is now usually allocated to a larger battery, for example.
I agree. I also look at it as less moving Parts... Something that became more obvious with the iPad... At the time I had to purchase the disc drive accessory... I can't remember what apple called it. I think it was the Super Drive. It still works for this day and every now and then I'll plug it in to watch a DVD (remember those) or something. We definitely have options and I for one am happy to see things smaller with less moving parts to break down.
When they removed the floppy drive in the iMAC g3 they were blasted but were proved right. They do have some misses but plenty of hits as well
Apple also removed other ports from their macbooks but now they are back.
@@mhoppy6639 the Optical drive is going to fade away for most applications. My mid-tower PC does not even have one and I don’t miss it.
@@Piketom1 I actually going to miss of having an option to expand. It’s used to be that you can have disc drive or not thanks to the 5.25 inch bay if they going to remove the 5.25 inch bay at least replace it with 3.5inch bay for more hard drives. I’m a little old fashioned guy who still like using optical disc so I guess I’m not ready to buy a new pc case yet
Most smartphones still have a headphone jack, though.
And wireless only is just laughable. Wireless charging is really slow and inefficient, and only works on distances where you might as well use some form of a wired connection.
Who’s to say it won’t get faster and better eventually? You’re dismissing new technologies based on their early implementations, not very forward-looking of you.
@@diamondwave100 Wireless power transmission is nothing new. You might know it by the name of radio. The first implementations for power delivery were made by Tesla way back in the day.
We have a very good understanding of many types of EM radiation, and it's a fact that wired connections are the most effective for power delivery.
GoPro CEO is quite humble even the revenue has fall dramatically.
5:50 Example of "False Dilemma" > saying that as much as you liked the headphone jack, you prefered innovation and cool new tech. That presents a False Dilemma. Option 1) keeping the headphone jack but not bringing new tech or Option 2) getting rid of the jack and bringing new tech. When there is also an Option 3) Make your phone 1mm thicker, and have space to keep the jack and all new tech - while ALSO having so much more space now you can have a better battery. But no, Apple lied to us. They said they had "COURAGE" and some BS. They presented a False Dilemma.
LG phones lol yeah they don’t do phones anymore lol
9:26 LG is out of the mobile industry, therefore mentioning their products doesn't make any sense now
Surprisingly they are still rolling out updates for their phones. But yeah, RIP to LG mobile phones.
THANK YOU SIR 😂 i got extremely tired of that xard coming up on accident lol
Just like laptops that stopped including CD/DVD players. Now you have to pay extra for those as separate attachments.
I probably love my headphone jack wireless speakers and then Wireless is crap.. if it's not hooked up to a wire it's going to cut off In-N-Out..
Nah, it's improved immensely in the last few years! I never get drop outs any more with the latest bluetooth headphones.
@@joeking433 this is why I guess I'm old school I love the wiring for the ensure that I don't get cut off
I don't even know what phone i'm gonna get next cause no flagship phones have headphone jacks anymore. I've always bought a flagship phone and kept it for 4 years each time. My current phone is a OnePlus 6 which i purposely bought a month before the OnePlus 6T came out because it wouldn't have a headphone jack. Gonna hold on to my OnePlus 6 for as long as i can so that i can hopefully get a midrange phone with a headphone jack without it in any way being a downgrade.
Or just move on that headphone jacks are thing of the past.
Get the Sony Experia
@@droiddevx03 Yeah wired is so old school. I always HATED the wired headphone because they always go all tangled up and then spend 10 minutes fixing that.
Fantastic episode
What’s really inconvenient is when you would like to use your Fiio headphone, amplifier jack to pump up the volume and now it’s got to go through all these distortion dongle’s just to get there
Sony still offers flagship and mid range phones with a headphone jack
