(NewsNation) — In today’s tech-driven world where wireless audio devices like Bluetooth headphones are the norm, a surprising trend has emerged: a return to the classic wired headphones. Despite the allure of untethered listening, many individuals are opting for the traditional corded option once more.

This shift gained attention recently when Kamala Harris, the former Vice President of the United States, mentioned on a late-night talk show her deliberate choice to steer clear of Bluetooth headphones. Harris highlighted the potential security risks, noting that these wireless devices could be vulnerable to hacking, especially during private conversations.

Harris’s remarks underscore a broader resurgence of interest in wired headphones, which have regained popularity for a variety of reasons. For many, wired options offer superior sound quality, and they are often more affordable compared to their wireless counterparts.
