My guess is that they know how much of a hot potato this is, and while they’d love to kill the port on Macs as well, they will see how this goes and save that for later Mac gens.

If they do that, or get rid of any other ports, I will have to resort to buying a dell or something. Its called the macbook PRO, needs professional ports. and audio engineers use 3.5mm headphone jacks, cant just force them to use adaptors that are fickle.

The good news is, their reasons for ditching it on the Macbook Pro are not nearly as strong as the reasons they ditched it on the phone:

• Space on the phone is at a much higher premium
• Less need to waterproof a Macbook (although doing it for the keyboard isn't a bad idea)

They can still try to make an argument for potential for better audio quality, but that's a much tougher argument to make, just as it is with the phone.

Someone will make a wire for these wireless pair.

I've spent a fair bit more on my Sennheisers. Do feel the same, but ended up buying 3 pair. One's permanently at work, one at home and the oldest pair for travelling because they do take a beating.

I can't afford a car because of stupid shit like this. So many small things where I like to have quality, that the big things never eventuate. Both a curse and a blessing.

I keep hearing the same, but have been lucky... they've always stayed in for me. I think the charging case idea is pretty neat.
