Occasionally. If I’m at my desk and I get a call, I’ll move my wired headset over from my PC to my phone.

I do. Nice feature I always appreciate having it.

What’s a headphone jack?

JK, I used to use mine a lot, when I had one. I was sad to see it go, but I’ve moved on. I can use the USB-C port just as easily, if I want to.

Tbh. I love my Samsung buds. I don’t understand people complaining about the hassle of wireless. It is the wires that are always a hassle imo. My earbuds just pop out the case and are ready.

My Buds are probably the greatest $100 I’ve spent. Highly recommend, especially if you have a Samsung phone.

I use IEMs and wired headphones. Having a headphone jack would be game changer since I can charge and play music at the same time (I don’t want to buy a 2 in 1 dongle).

Before I updated my car I used the headphone jack regularly for playing music there. Otherwise it was relegated to a couple situations a year like air travel.

Now that I’ve got a newer vehicle I just have all my music on USB there.

I do. I recently bought a new phone and this was non-negotiable. My headphones are good and my desire to bring Bluetooth and batteries into the equation is a cool zero at most.

I completely understand this sentiment. Bluetooth is not what is promised on the surface. There are too many conflicting versions. Even worse are the proprietary codecs that must be licensed by both your phone and your headphones in order to work optimally. If one or the other doesn’t have a license it falls back to whatever the basic license free options are.

Only recently have cheap and easy to manage devices like the pixel-a buds that allow one click device switching come into existence. And even those are $100 compared to the cost of a similar audio quality set of wired headphones, that’s a lot.

Generally, keeping things charged isn’t an issue for me but I don’t use my earbuds out and about a lot. If I was commuting to the office daily it would be something I’d have to plan for.

I dont live in a 1st world so I prefer 3.5mm jack headphones over usb c ones because headphone manufacturers don’t have to bother with DAC and can use that money to build better audio drivers

I love rhythm games so when I play the mobile ones, maybe 2 times a week? Bluetooth is too slow and prone to disconnection to be reliable, I missed everything when I tried, and muse dash even alerts you on boot to not use bluetooth.

I do, several hours per day. Wireless headphones might are okay in short stints, but I really like my wired ones (Sony MDRs, which will probably outlast me)

My phone doesn’t have a headphone jack. Despite this, I used a pair of shitty wired IEMs every day when I walk my dog. I don’t really think bluetooth is all that bad, it works for me most of the time, except on my oldass car which I bought one of those bluetooth to radio short throw transmitters that plugs in the ciggy lighter and it gets really staticky when it rains, but my car’s speaker system wasn’t doing wonders anyways so I don’t think it matters that much.

No, I don’t have a problem with bluetooth, but I still think it’s probably worse for most every application I could think of, compared to an aux jack. The amount of time I save by having my phone automatically connect to my car compared to plugging in my phone is basically nothing. Takes about 3 seconds for my phone to connect, takes about 3 seconds for my phone to get plugged in. Same with regular headphones. About the only thing I can maybe think of is a wireless speaker, but I tend not to use those very often and you could probably do that over wifi in most applications. That, and the cost of bluetooth is just always gonna be higher than an aux jack, or a wire. Shut up about DACs, too, I don’t care. A cost of like 4 bucks for a usb-c to aux cable is going to perform about the same as your pretentious 500 dollar usb-c to usb to usb powered DAC to aux port chain you have going on because of “noise”. That’s insane. It’s insane to carry that shit around in your pocket all day.

Headphones, you’re paying more for worse quality, basically every time, and this will hold true for every device. Plus there’s always the fuggin batteries and the little stupid case, and I’m not paying more for a new pair of shittier headphones when in 3 years my bluetooth headphones can’t hold a charge because the manufacturer didn’t program anything for a trickle charge to preserve battery life.

I dunno, this makes me mad, phones not being 16:9 makes me mad, phones not fitting in my dainty little hands makes me mad.

Use to, until my new phone no longer had one. I miss my corded headphones.

Yeah, I was using mine right up until they took it away from me. Now I use bluetooth or my chromecast, both which have their own problems.

dani ,

I would if it had one.

Nanomerce ,

I use wired anytime I’m listening for more than an hour or so.

I use it a few times a month. I’ve got fantastic Bluetooth earbuds, but occasionally in zoom calls I’ll switch from my PC to my phone on the fly, and the wired PC headset comes with me since it’s got a nice microphone and noise cancelling. I can’t imagine trying to switch quickly like this with Bluetooth!

I also tend to use wired headphones when commuting in busy areas (city train stations etc.) as Bluetooth falls apart in these conditions… dropouts piss me off. I listen to offline MP3s for the same reason.

I’ve gone without before - my last phone didn’t have a headphone jack and I never bothered with the USBC dongle because it was a pain - but having the flexibility is more convenient.

I only upgrade every 4-5 years, so it makes it easier to find a newish phone that has a headphone jack. It frustrates me that new laptops still include headphone jacks, but most new phones don’t. It’s a stupid inconsistency.
