Bluetooth.

Wireless. Allows play/pause button, forward and rewind button. Even transmits song titles to your car stereo. Exists on all PCs, Macs, iOS phones, Android phones, late-model cars, and even some home stereos.

A few people will shout loudly about this jack being gone. Everyone else will get a cheap Bluetooth, wonder why they futzed with a cord this long, remember to charge it every now and then, and otherwise not think about it much.
