The Apple buds are garbage anyways and you can already get lightning headphones if you really need to have a wire so everybody quit getting your panties in a wad.
Yes and how much do those go for?  LOL

I don't think it is any co-incidence that Apple has stated that they will not release their pre-sale numbers for this iPhone release.  I think they have finally realized that they have jumped the shark.  When removing the floppy disk drive and optical drives from their computers, there were already superior competitors in place (CDs and SD cards, respectively).  With removing the headphone jack, there is no "superior" technology available.  There are alternatives, but they all have drawbacks.  Bluetooth headphones need to be charged, and using Bluetooth on the phone constantly increases battery drain.  Using the Lightning port for headphones blocks the ONLY port on the phone, so you can't charge at the same time as listening to music.  The headphone jack and amplifier do not increase the thickness of the phone or take an unreasonable amount of space on the PCB.  They hardly even tried to spin the lack of a headphone jack as a positive in the news conference.  They basically said "We removed the headphone jack because we are Apple and fuck you."

 
In both my cars that have blue tooth the sound isn't as good as using an AUX jack. What really gives the best sound is when I plug the charging cord into the USB on the radio- although my kids tell me that is "an ancient practice"

I am not sure what they are thinking either though..

 
I have the ear canals of a child. I have to buy the kind that come with the tiny silicone inserts. 
X2.  Any earbuds that come with a phone get shoved immediately into a drawer, never to be seen again.  Either need the tiny inserts, or the wrap around the ear kind.
