I don’t, but I’ve had about 5 years to replace all of my perfectly good cables with crappy bluetooth audio/dongles.

Every time I need headphones.

Wireless is more hassle than convenience. Bluetooth, especially for audio, is rather shit and having to charge batteries is annoying.

And speaking of batteries, earbuds are yet another bit of trash you are just supposed to throw away when they stop working, because there’s nothing you’ll be able to do about it.

Every day. Removing them is ridiculous and pointless.

Every day. Aux in on my car, wired headphones, aux in on old stereo. I could replace it all with bluetooth but it isn’t broken and I can still use bluetooth on other devices. I like choice and I hate waste and conspicuous consumption. Rechargeable wireless devices with limited battery life that can’t be serviced or repaired is peak consumption/pollution bullshit. The headphone jack may wear out before my phone’s usb, battery or something else but that hasn’t been my experience historically.

Tbh buying a phone that doesn’t have a jack is probably one of my biggest regrets. Fr I still keep my old phone around because the only thing wrong with it is that the screen is shattered. But it’s manageable with a piece of packing tape. So I mostly use it for listening to stuff when I have to move and listen for hours on end.

Sunk into the Samsung ecosystem. When they stopped including a headphone jack on my phone I had to go and buy Bluetooth earbuds. I have a practically unused pair of Shure wired earbuds that are fantastic that I simply can’t use.

There are USB-c to mini-Jack cables/dongles.

I used it right up until I didn’t have a port in the phone for it anymore. Wired is 100% more reliable for headphones. I’m not even an audiophile, I just hate how Bluetooth drops and comes back wherever it wants. If we’re going to do wireless then we need a better protocol.

Anyone else find it annoying to have to constantly charge your earbuds. I’ve been so used to just plugging my headphones in and forgetting them. I’m tired of constant “low battery” because I forgot to charge them last night.

I bought wireless headphones about 4 years ago and haven’t used wired since. Even when playing through speakers, in my car, and all that I just use Bluetooth.

Ilflish ,

A very simple I used it all the time until I got wireless earphones. It’s bizarre to think people just forget that headphones can be expensive so people still have wired ones

I use headphone jack everyday since I use a iem. I hate using wireless buds.

I use IEMs aa well but upgraded to a DAP, so strangely enough it’s a non issue now. Hyby R5 Gen 2, it sounds great.

spiderman ,

How’s DAP different apart from the fact that it’s only use is to listen to music?

My particular DAP has a class A amplifier and a balanced output, and it’s HiRes. It can drive reasonably big headphones, basically portable HiFi.

I don’t use it much, but I do appreciate the one I have on my phone, since I don’t always have my BT earbuds with me. Whereas I usually always have some cheap wired earbuds somewhere with me.

I also use it daily. I bought a cheap aux to bt adapter for my car so I could wirelessly play music but it’s not as good as just plugging it in directly. And it’s an extra dongle thing to worry about.

I really just wanted to do Bluetooth because it’s slightly more convenient, and when I’m charging my phone while it’s plugged into aux there’s a bit of a whine over my music. But having the option to do aux when I want is important to me personally

BearOfaTime ,

To fix the whine buy a ground loop isolator for less than $10 (they’re all the same). It will sit in-line on the input cord.

Basically your phone is getting two paths to ground - the power connection and the headphone jack. This causes interference (the whine). It’s also not good for the power control systems in the phone, though I think it would take years of being connected to actually damage it.

GeneralVincent ,

Ah, this is great information. Thank you, I’ll look into that

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

I use it every time I listen to music.

What headphone jack?
