Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of 3.5mm wired earphones and TWS

Better sound quality performance
Wired headphones transmit audio signals directly through physical cables, avoiding the sound quality loss caused by Bluetooth compression and preserving more sound details, especially suitable for music enthusiasts .

1、 Advantages and disadvantages of 3.5mm wired earphones
advantage:

Strong connection stability
No wireless signal interference issues, almost zero latency, suitable for real-time demanding scenarios such as gaming and video editing .

No need to charge
Dependent on device power supply, no additional charging required, and usage time not limited by battery .

Wide compatibility
Support traditional devices (such as old-fashioned players, record players, etc.) and adapt to various devices with 3.5mm interfaces

Disadvantages:

Poor portability
The wire is prone to entanglement, inconvenient to store, and easy to hook when moving, limiting its usage scenarios.

Reduced device compatibility
Modern mobile phones (such as iPhone and some Android flagships) are gradually phasing out the 3.5mm interface and require adapter connections.

Single function
Lack of intelligent operations (such as touch and voice assistants), limited functional expansion。

2、 Advantages and disadvantages of TWS (true wireless stereo) headphones
advantage:

Ultimate portability
Wireless design completely breaks free from the constraints of cables, and can be easily carried with a charging case, suitable for sports, commuting and other scenarios.

Rich intelligent experience
Support touch operation, active noise reduction, voice assistant linkage and other functions, and some high-end models also support multi device switching.

High adaptability to the scene
Wireless connectivity allows for a wider range of activities, especially suitable for dynamic scenarios such as fitness and cycling.

Charging case enhances battery life
The built-in battery compartment can provide additional power, and mainstream products have a comprehensive range of over 20 hours

Disadvantages:

Sound quality is limited by transmission technology
Bluetooth encoding compression may result in loss of high-frequency details and significant differences in sound quality between low-end models.

Connection stability issues
Signal interference or disconnection may occur in complex environments, and some models have high latency.

Battery life depends on charging
The single use time is limited (usually 4-8 hours) and requires frequent charging.

Easy loss risk
Small size leads to a higher probability of losing a single ear, resulting in high repair costs。

Therefore,
Which type of headphones do you prefer? I think it can be distinguished based on the usage scenario. In fixed office spaces, we can use TWS more, which is more convenient and flexible. When going out, exercising, or having no time limit, we prefer to use 3.5mm headphones without worrying about charging. I hope that more mobile phone manufacturers will retain the 3.5mm headphone jack, which can provide people with more choices.
