On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

Crap quality bluetooth headphones that hurt your ears cost twice as much as wired, but go on

There's only one company I've found that makes headphone shapes that don't hurt my ears and they stopped making wired variants years ago. Last time I got an actually authentic pair was ~2017.

The void they left behind got flooded by knockoff junk that isn't worth buying (bought 2 pairs in 2018 trying to find a replacement, they were tinny garbage).

If I could find a wired version that sounded good for under $50 I'd get them immediately so I can stop dealing with Bluetooth connection issues when I'm on my computer.

What company? I know a number of them have been bought out and ruined over the years.

You may be able to find a replacement by asking after similar styles on an enthusiast forum (like Head-Fi).
