    Maybe it's because I grew up with Paint Shop Pro 6 and such, but that seems completely normal and expected to me

    Gee, is that the kind of stuff that makes people want this, rather than actual usefulness related reasons?

    I want it because I don't want yet another thing to have to charge, and because I'd want to be able to throw some cheap headphones in my backpack that I can use the one time in a month that I actually need them in combination with a phone (which of course isn't possible anymore today)

    Also, why are ANC headphones today worse for gaming than in the year 2018 when they supported aptx that had less lag? Technology is going backwards?
