I can just leave a spare pair of wired earphones in the car, desk, bedside, or wherever and they’re ready to use without having to constantly carry an earbuds case around. Now I have to buy an adapter for each one I might use. Keeping several spare BT earbuds charged would be impractical.

And the adaptor then blocks the charging port, which has sometimes been a problem.

I have some Fiio FH3 IEMs that I use with a Lightning to 3.5mm dongle fairly often. I also have some Airpods that are much more convenient to carry around and use but I do like my wired IEMs for when I want a more focused music listening and am not going to be moving around as much.

Daily. Mostly Spotify and Youtube or when I don’t want to listen to my wife.

I have not owned a phone with a headphone jack in a long time.

Twice a year when I’m on a plane and have to use my other headphones because they’re more noise cancelling. Other than that, never. I hate having a cord and getting it stuck on things and ripping my headphones out of my ears.

I have never once used the audio jack on a phone, Bluetooth is just much more convenient for me and has never caused me any issues.

Multiple times a week. I make music and connect my phone to the PA to practice or listen to playbacks. It also goes into the e-drums as playback device. If you're using proper audio equipment, the headphone jack is useful for a lot of stuff. I even have a rumble-metronome that connects via headphone jack.

I used to use it a lot. I still have some nice headphones that I like using, but they have become 2nd choice. I have bone conducting headphones that I use daily.

I prefer them, because I can still communicate, ride the bike, and never have to pause the music. But if I have to do anything loud, the wired buds are coming out to plug the ear holes.

Every night ! I listen to a sleep podcast. I recently changed to a phone without a 3.5mm jack and was kinda scrambling to figure out an alternative. I had a splitter for power and headphones, but it didn’t work the way I thought it should: I was used to unplugging the headphones from the phone and that would automatically pause the audio, and plugging in would resume. For some reason (perhaps cheapness) the splitter reported the headphones as present whether or not headphones were actually connected. I ended up getting a BT dongle which has a pause button and I can just take it with when I step away from the phone.

Have to be honest. I do a bit of music producing, so I am a little bit of a snob about quality.

But on a phone, on the go, the convenience of bluetooth and not having to be tethered to anything beats the obvious downsides for me.

I use proper equipment when I want to listen in high quality and properly.

So, I haven’t had a jack input in a long time, and have missed it exactly zero times so far. But can really well understand the need for it if phone’s often with you on the go and you don’t often sit down in a specific listening spot at home. And probably any other reasons are equally understandable. I think I am the weird one here.

I would but I don’t really have any headphones, but I have some I definitely would, it’s a cheaper version of airpods

I use my daily and purchased my phone primarily based on the fact it had a 3.5 jack. I am a long time DJ so my headphones are very comfortable and natural for me.

I used it often. Since I got a phone without one, as an upgrade, I use a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor nearly every time I go out. The adaptor is always plugged into my headphones.

I always used it when I had one.

Now, I use an adapter for headphone jack to USB-C. Every day.

I would but I had a terrible habit of getting snagged on things when walking around. I’ll take the worse quality of Bluetooth over destroying my port, my headphones, or my ears.

This is exactly why I ditched wired headphones, they are snaggers and no, I’m not routing a cable down my shirt.
