Well… It’s not a commute that I need to do every day. Also I can (to some extent) work on that commute as the majority of it is on an inter-urban train. Timeboxing tasks to 30 mins or an hour can be quite productive. That said, having decent music and or noise blocking configured for your environment helps a lot. I highly recommend these guys - I have their full app and being able to dial just the right frequencies to deal with whatever is bugging you is amazing…

That said, without my device and quality headphones/iem I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it.

The buds don’t need a jack. Just the lead that connects to the phone or whatever. That takes no real space.

So… I was more referring to a 3.5mm jack on the phone.

Commute time is a little over 2hours each way. Office use is 6-8 hours. Listening + calls and needing a microphone.

Would rather not to have to do the dance for multiple devices and chargers vs just one and a single usb input.

Some of the bushes busses and trains have a usb but you have to get lucky and then decide what needs charging more…the phone or the buds.

Give me a wired option any day. Also used less battery power and sounds better.

edit… typo

Wired 3.5mm jack.

Hear me out. I don’t use Bluetooth headphones. They don’t last the commute and work day.

With a jack you can listen and charge you phone at the same time and never worry about charging your headphones/iem.

If I need to use Bluetooth for connection I still can but overall better battery life
