The future of all electronics is wireless. There really is no way of stopping that. By not including a headphone jack in the next iPhone Apple is not necessarily forcing you to buy Beats headphones (which suck, i agree) What they are doing is forcing headphone manufacturers to adopt wireless technology, and this may take a while.
Its interesting to see that more and more Apple users are throwing in the towel. This includes myself.
great perspective. though still, given that headphone companies like Audio Technica, Beyer Dynamics, and Sennheiser cater more to audiophiles and studio musicians/engineers, they may not be as likely to hop on the wireless trend - creating a real dilemma for those who want to use these quality tools with an iPhone...
though, your point has also cracked my mind open to the POSSIBILITY of just surrendering, and getting a second pair of wireless headphones. that could have benefits as well...
