But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

    This article seems to omit the most important fact about headphones - how do they sound?

    I love repairability and all, but it hardly matters if I don’t want to use them in the first place because they traded off too much quality for repairability.

        Isn’t the codec for headphones just meant to handle the communication between the headphones and device while the device can handle transcoding from the input codec to the output codec?

        Or do you mean the quality of the codecs supported puts an upper limit on sound quality?
