Disclaimer: I’m a loyal Apple customer (I own 10 Apple devices).
Losing the jack allows for water resistance (huge), and wireless headphones are a leap forward. [Who likes wires?] Better battery life on the iPhone 7 also makes it a likely purchase for me.
It’s much ado about next to nothing.
If someone is hooking their headphone to an apple to listen to “good quality” music, they are an idiot at the start.
It is an OK system, and it puts up with a lot of crap. But, wearing wireless headphones that crap out two miles from home because they were not charged will piss me off.
