What headphone jack?

nicetomeetyouIMVEGAN ,

It’s the only way I can listen to music in my car. I could upgrade, but I don’t need to because I have the jack.

Bluetooth to AUX adapters are very real and affordable, if one day you might get a problem finding the right phone

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.

I do a good 50% of my phonecalls on wired earbuds or wired headset. It’s much more convenient than holding the phone, especially for long calls.

I bought BT headphones to get rid of the cable when I’m outside. So now it’s rare for me to use the headphone jack. Only when I use the cable headset for work or when I connect my phone to the stereo amp. So maybe once every other week.

Yeah still have one on my phone, still use it daily. I won’t buy a phone without one. Still rocking the apple wired headphones 10 years later. Still have a headphone jack in my car.

I have a lightning-analog dongle on my phone headphones, that works fine. I have another analog headphones on my iPod classic for walks. The terrible catastrophe of taking out the headphone jack is nothing. There’s no situation where I’d be listening to my phone and want to charge it, if it’s on the charger I have a computer with speakers.

Arghhh ,

Really? A long day out, the phone almost empty and you want to listen the music? It happens to me quite often, that’s why I decided to buy a DAP.

iPhones have like 8-20 hours of charge now, depending on what I’m doing. My old iPod is <4 hours, maybe <2, but it’s enough for a walk. And if I’m out, where would I be charging it? I don’t usually carry a phone charger and wall wart. If I was out for days, I’d use my laptop to charge it, while listening ON THE LAPTOP, which has analog headphone jacks.

So, it’s a pointless conflict.

Daily.

Driving to and from work it plugs into my car and at work it plugs into my headset.

I use mine everyday, and i was one of the first to adapt to wireless headphones when they was just Chinese exotic headphones (before apple and Samsung wireless headphones even existed) and i spotted few cons of using them before they even got popular, main problem of using them is battery and secondary is latency when you pause resume video alot, there are also alot more like signal interference in places with lot of WiFi hotspots so i returned to using wired headphones around time when first apple tws was presented, i use modular wired headphones so i can change wires if they break and always have some spare, also modular headphones can be connected to Bluetooth modules making them effectively tws and when their battery goes bad then you’ll just change Bluetooth module and that’s it

I only bought wireless headphones because the Galaxy Note 10 didn’t have an aux, and required their own overpriced adapter to connect through USB-C. I bike a lot while listening to music and hate when the headphones run out of battery halfway through my ride.

Literally every day. Stop making phones without them, god damn it.

I use mine consistently, and the presence of one will be a dealbreaker when I choose my next phone. I use it with an AUX cable in my car, wired headphones I already own, and (most importantly) with a Square point of sale thingamajig at shows. Bluetooth options exist for the last thing of course, but they have their own disadvantages- and I’d rather be able to use both options than just one!

TheRealCharlesEames ,

Is there a way to migrate yet?

DanglingFury ,

If you own a pre bluetooth-audio vehicle and you commute, then you need an aux port. Even early BT vehicles had iffy connection issues that are immediately solved by just plugging in.

Roadtripping and someone else wants to play a quick song? You can go into the touchscreen settings and go through linking the phone to the vehicles bluetooth and selecting that device, or you can just pass the cord.

datelmd5sum ,

Bluetooth is still fucking ass for almost everything. I have a new car, but still plug the phone in with a wire. With USB-C you can both receive and transmit audio with decent quality and it also charges your phone!

DanglingFury ,

O that is nice. I did not know you could charge during the data connection

AlecSadler ,

When my phone had one, I used it probably every day.

I still miss it. All Bluetooth buds I’ve used have this stupid quirk in Teams, for example, where a call will interrupt the meeting and even if I immediately hang up, it takes like 2-5 seconds for Teams to switch back to Bluetooth. I never had this issue with an aux jack.

I also had a problem the other day where my Bluetooth buds just would. not. connect. for some stupid reason despite having worked OK for a week prior. On my phone with an aux jack that was never a problem.

For music, I used to use a really nice set of Sennheiser’s with my phone, and while I’m no audiophile, I swear using an adapter just isn’t the same (even though I know technically it should support the same bandwidth).

Another thing I really miss are phones that came with IR Blasters.
