You clearly didn't get the point. The cost isn't the only issue. There are downsides to wireless earbuds and I honestly do not prefer them most of the time. In my example, I'm using them the entire time because I don't want to hear airplane noises and yeah, I am playing something on them most of the time if I'm flying alone.

Also if you’re dropping 10 hour flight money…

Sorry but this is a very very dumb take. "if you spent a lot of money, you could spend MORE money". Really dude? The solution is just having a damn headphone jack, not spending money because corporations want you to.

Well, technically no phones are made in the US. I think you're talking about selling phones there. Regardless, you might have poor short term memory because they only pulled out of the US phone market (which is pretty crappy) a little over a year ago I believe.

I can't help but detect some passive hostility in your response.
