I really prefer my wireless anyway. I used to go through a pair of headphobes every month, because the cables got fucked from being tangled in my pocket. Now I've had the same pair of buds for 5 years, with much better sound quality than what I had before
I agree. Wireless buds are great. As are wired. Back in the day no one forced you to choose one.
You can just buy a phone with a headphone jack if you need that. There are plenty options and nobody is forcing you to buy a device without one.
There are most certainly not "plenty of options", and the ones with jacks are mostly otherwise-terrible and/or budget devices. It used to be that jacks were a given on any device.
Back in the day they made these ones where it was like a solid piece of rigid plastic that went around the back of your neck and had earbuds at each end. You'd loop them over the top of your ear, and it was a wireless thing. Meant for like runners and stuff. I can't find something like that anymore. I wish I could. It was so much more secure than the little wireless earbuds we have now, and I don't get why they seem to have stopped making them.
You don't mean OpenRun's (previously Aftershokz), do you? 🤨

No idea what that is. I'm talking about some random ass thing I got when I was a teen that was like 20$ by some rando off brand. Edit: But yeah it looks similar. The one i had was just earbuds tho. not "Bone conduction".
