Your opinion is valid, but irrelevant. The above comment said that you’re a minority and that they’ve never met a person irl that shares your opinion. I can say I’ve also never met anyone who shares that opinion.

Also of note is that I used to care a lot about sound quality, and owned very expensive wired IEMs until 2 years ago. I was annoyed when I switched to a phone without a jack, but now I’m used to it and don’t particularly miss it.

If we're going to pick nits, no it didn't. And the fact that I'm in a minority (which I definitely am) is what's irrelevant. The comment seemed to be doubting the existence of this preference, and I gave an example of its existence.

We don’t need to nitpick. I think it’s obvious that saying I don’t know anyone with this opinion != nobody has this opinion.
