Yup you're right. Apple takes away the headphone jack, now others are doing it. Apple makes their phones ugly with the notch and now other OEM's are making their phones ugly...such a weird trend we're faced with now. Listening to what consumers actually want has gone to the wayside. I'm not a fan of Samsung, but my bro picked up the S8 the other day...looks not bad. If the next note has a headphone jack, with no stupid display hole or notch, and a good battery...I might jump on it as my last saving grace. God I wish the gay sounding pixel was gone...and the nexus back in full force.

When Apple does its entering competition, when others do then it’s copy. Strange

I can name ten brands that sound a whole lot better than these and much more comfortable to boot.

Funny how it's not a problem to own headphones for 10+ years. You know good headphones, not a trash like AirPods.
