All my homies hate 2.5mm jacks

had it in the past, you breathe, it bends

Yup, 4.4mm is the superior connection type. It's big enough to feel sturdy, it's small enough to not feel obtrusive, and it provides a balanced connection.

You might say it's "perfectly balanced, as all things should be."

That’s why I prefer the unbalanced balanceness of XLR

True, though I didn’t care about it being balanced for this list, it’s purely practical

Reasonable.

I've used 2.5 mm with my BTR5 for years and never had an issue.
4.4 is definitely better and there's no need to have both, but I found 2.5 surprisingly resilient.

Btr3k with 2,5 mm jack with no issues and I regularly put it into pocket on my jeans

Same setup, different results…

Same, have been using 2.5 with my Qudelix 5k and never had any issues. I managed to get the 5k stuck while moving resulting in it falling off with high pressure on the connector and still no bends.

Right angle jack makes it easier, but yes 😮💨

I literally just broke my 2.5mm headphone cable this morning. It sucks.

I’m not saying I don’t think it’s the worst on this list but I don’t get how people seemingly regularly break them. I have only managed to break one ever and that was by dropping an amp on it so totally my fault not the connector.

I have 2.5 on every single balanced wire I own so I can use a small adapter to plug it wherever I want. I have never bent a single one of them.
