Headphones wired or wireless?

Since Apple released the first generation of AirPods wireless earphones, the mobile phone synchronously canceled the headphone jack on a large scale. For consumers, the elimination of the headphone jack is not good news. Because many people are used to the 3.5mm headphone jack, canceling the headphone jack directly leaves users with no choice. In 2019, Apple finally updated the second-generation AirPods, and there will be more and more products such as wireless headphones in the future. But for the average consumer, for you, do you really want wireless headphones to replace wired?

In the long run, wireless earphones are the future, but there is no way for wireless earphones to completely replace wired ones. Apple is more pursuit of wireless life, and started a wireless strategy long before AirPods. For example, various interfaces are canceled on the Mac series, leaving only one; for example, the AirPower wireless charging pad that has been aborted, wants consumers to better experience wireless life. It's not unreasonable for Apple to do this. Although wired has existed for many years, there are also some inconveniences; and all wireless devices can be better operated with hands free.

Manufacturers other than Apple have also stepped up the pace of wireless, and there are countless wireless headphones on the market besides AirPods. Traditional audio companies, including Sony, Goethe, AKG, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, and Magic Sound, have more or less launched wireless earphones, and even if there is no future, they will slowly follow up; secondly, Android phone manufacturers have also Began to release wireless earphones, including Xiaomi, Meizu, Huawei, OPPO, etc. have related products. However, the products on the market still haven't surpassed Apple in terms of wireless earphone experience.
