nobody said anything about length. you're confused.

the major advantage is that headphones are no longer limited to the dac
in the device. they can use any dac they want.

the better headphones will use higher end dacs while cheaper headphones
will use cheap dacs. giving the user a *much* wider choice of options.

even audiophiles who think there's an advantage to high bitrate audio
can get headphones with appropriate dacs.

nope. quite a lot new there.

existing noise canceling headphones have their own noise canceling
circuitry, making them relatively expensive.

with a digital link, noise cancelation can entirely be done using the
phone's existing noise cancelation hardware (it already does it for
phone calls), which means that noise-canceling headphones can be *less*
expensive than they are now.

yet another win for consumers.

furthermore, the processor in a phone is far more capable than anything
you'd find in headphones meaning the noise cancelation could be even
more effective than it is now *and* be cheaper.

who said anything about charging?

wired headphones don't need to be charged.

you're very confused.

more benefits. do try to keep up.

among the numerous benefits include biometric sensors. the ear is a
perfect place to monitor pulse, body temp and many other things,
particularly for those not interested in wearing fitness bands or
smartwatches.

those that complain about keeping a 100+ year old interface are doing
exactly that.

they don't sell very many, my local barnes&noble closed and good luck
finding a record player.

it's quite obvious in what direction the market is going.

why would wired headphones need a charge? it wouldn't.

you're very confused and don't understand the industry. no surprise
there.
