But why remove it? Having the option is more convenient then having an adapter, reduces e-waste and you never have to play the "Where the hell did I leave the dongle?" game ever again! 2.5mm sounds great in theory but the vast majority of stuff you'd listen to music on uses 3.5mm.

Solid unpopular opinion.

    Hell yeah! It's a tough instrument, but it's the most expressive one (in my opinion). Trumpets always sound like the person who's playing them, almost like an extension of your personality. I think there's something wonderful about that.

    I've got a trumpet (YTR-6320) from the 80s I bought used a bit back. It looks beat to hell but it just sings! It's as light as a feather aswell- I can play with one hand in my pocket.

    Media-wise, I love some old 1930s swing and jazz tracks. It's super interesting to hear how similar some songs are to modern music.
