    Not really the point, it costs, people need to buy it, not doing it is easier.

    My wired headphones (Sony MH410c) cost me three euros. But those were often included when buying a Sony phone. A decade ago you automatically had headphones when buying a phone.

    Still doesn’t make it alright, but it’s let’s accessible now and I can see that leading to a societal change.

      The bar for not being a piece of shit shouldn’t be so low that the only way to stop people from blasting music/videos is to give them free headphones with every purchase…

        The issue is not the free headphones that aren’t there, it’s that people think having no headphones is an excuse to create an acousting hellscape for everyone around them.

        We can only solve that issue by telling people all the time until they stop doing it. It seems the reason it’s happening more and more is just because many others wear headphones and stare at their phones and no longer observe their surroundings. Strange times.
