if my phone had one i would use it everyday, 8 hours a day

I don’t. It’s nice not to have to have a wire wrapped around me, being able to walk freely around without worrying about it possibly getting snagged or needing to have my phone on me just to have headphones on. The shortcomings of Bluetooth have all been largely solved for every use case other than music production. Even for gaming I use a pair of headphones with a proprietary dongle that has no perceptible latency, and they last over a month.

I use it a few times a year at most. I only use Bluetooth headphones, and have android auto in the car. Every now and then I need to plug my phone into a stero or something.

One of my old phones is my dedicated stereo phone at home, it’s permanently plugged into the aux of my receiver.

Every Monday when I game with a buddy online.

I will never give up my aux.

Last phone I had a jack for was iPhone 5, would use it all the time for music and podcasts, would much prefer having a jack now instead of Bluetooth

I would use it, IF I HAD ONE

Used mine every day until that phone’s screen stopped responding and at the time none of the otherwise decent phones with decent prices had a jack. Headphone jack will remain a consideration in my next phone purchase once this one dies.

I have never once missed it. I’ve already switched to Bluetooth for my headphones and car. At home I cast to the hifi or Bluetooth speaker.

I got an adaptor to let me use cabled headphones when I need to and I’ve used it twice, once was to test it even worked.

The use case just doesn’t exist for me anymore.

Same. Did me, the advantages of wired headphones don’t outweigh the obnoxiousness of fucking wires getting tangled up.

bamboo ,

This is it for me. Yeah Bluetooth is meh, some codec make it less meh, but really I just don’t want to have a wire, and am willing to put up with all the tradeoffs to make that happen.

I bought a USB-to-aux adapter because my current phone does not have a headphone jack and my vehicle doesn’t have Bluetooth. I use it literally every day, sometimes for hours. It’s utter nonsense that they are getting rid of them.

lolcatnip ,

Your vehicle could have Bluetooth for about $20. Just sayin’.

shitwolves ,

Those radio tuner transmitters are fucking terrible.

lolcatnip ,

I’m talking about Bluetooth receivers you can plug into your aux port.

I’m aware. I’ve been through half a dozen of them and don’t want to buy another. An aux cord costs $5 and last practically forever unless you abuse them. My car has built-in Bluetooth, but it has a weird delay and randomly disconnects, mutes, or starts changing what I’m playing on my phone like a remote is pressing buttons.

When I had a phone with a jack, I used it daily to listen to podcasts or music during my commute. Now, without a jack, I use a converter daily to listen to podcasts and music during my commute, but can no longer charge my phone and listen at the same time.

I use it every day, plus a 512 GB SD card to store ROMs, striping functionalities is ridiculous.

ZeroTHM ,

All the time, even when Bluetooth is available instead. It’s simply more reliable.

sturmblast ,

I do all the time.

The only thing I miss it for is plugging into the car. I’ve got Bluetooth adapters now though that work pretty well. In theory I might run into a situation where it would be nice to be able to plug into a speaker or someone else’s car or something, but BT is so common it doesn’t really come up.
