We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
It’s not a meme, I’ve broken countless headphones that way. Well, maybe not on door handles, but e.g. in a bus there may be a lot of things the cable can catch on, like arm rests
