I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of the CB community here. I'm torn, personally I don't see the benefit of eliminating the headphone jack since I use mine very frequently and don't want to mess with wireless earbuds that I will lose immediately. But as a veteran of dance and talent shows where I end up with a half dozen iPhones to patch in because no one knows how to burn a CD anymore, I will take a certain, evil pleasure in telling them "I don't have the adapter," and watching their dreams of karaoke glory die before my eyes.
To me it's the same reason why business-grade laptops still have a VGA port. Backwards compatibility is more important than new and fancy tech that probably will create more headaches from the sound tech's standpoint.
