I use mine, both on my phone and tablet.

I have a bluetooth headphone, but the hassle of dealing with battery dying out, then having to reach for my pocket in a crowded bus to put it back on the pod/charger isn’t worth it. I nearly lost one of the pieces because it fell off my ear. Also, the only other situation where it’d be good, which is having it in my ears while I do house chores without the phone in my pocket, suffers from “wall interference”.

When I got my iPhone without a headphone jack, I went out and bought a nice Bluetooth headset. I did use it a lot at the time, but just recently rediscovered it after a couple years lost. It turns out that I prefer speakers for audio/video and only use headphones for calls … for work I prefer wired headphones because they always work, whereas Bluetooth keeps begetting confused whether I am in the office or at home, but that’s not in mobile

When I was looking for a new phone I gave up and bought a usb c dac/amp from Fiio. Ended up buying a phone from Sony which does have a 3.5 port (and sd card too) but continue to use the dongle anyway as it sounds better. Use it 2-3 times a week

Curious why mods don’t remove posts like this? Seems like some cleanup is needed on this Com.

Since I went bluetooth I have to charge constantly which is annoying. But at the same time while I was wired the cBle always got in the way in a way so the phone would fall on the street or some hard floor at least omce but sometimes twice a year and breal.

Since I’m on bluetooth I didn’t break any screen in the last 5 years. I’M NOT GOING BACK TO WIRED, IT’S TOO EXPENSIVE.

When the 3.5-less trend started setting in, I still had a phone with a headphone jack but started looking into wireless Bluetooth digital audio convertors just to prepare myself for the reality that it’ll eventually be hard to find a phone that’s both…good…and that I could plug my IEMs into.

One I settled on was the Radsone ES100. Besides allowing me to continue to use my headphones, one feature I really liked was its ability to store equalizer settings that could be used with any source, whether it be a Bluetooth device or one I plug the DAC into via USB. I found that there were equalizer apps for Android, but they kept getting killed because of memory limitations I guess. This device externalized the EQ.

Anyways some of the folks who made that branched off and made an even better version, the Qudelix 5K. It has the same features but does a better job of simultaneously connecting to multiple devices (but sadly it doesn’t mix the sources…it just has a priority 😔😔😔😔). So I grabbed that upgrade and now the headphone side of my audio is locked in.

I found that getting a Bluetooth DAC helped me feel better about the trend of removing a standard audio connector from devices (which I gotta say, still makes no sense). It still frustrates me that I need to walk around with another device and the limitations of Bluetooth are annoying, but the cool thing is that when my last 3.5mm jack equip device (OnePlus 5) just stopped turning on, I just grabbed a random replacement phone (Pixel 5) and kept the same audio chain.

tl;dr - Consider just accepting that this is the trend for phones these days and try a portable Bluetooth (or even USB) DAC. When you find one you like, moving to any source will be less stressful. It won’t matter if it has a headphone jack: you’ll be able to focus on other features or even just get a less costly device that’ll sound identical to what u know.

Sorry to derail but what do people think of air gap or air tube wired headphones? Do you think they are necessary?

I almost exclusively use wired headphones. Only time I use the Bluetooth is when going the gym.

I don't feel like the cable is inconvenient at all. But there are advantages in the two things I care. Better audio quality and no battery to worry about. So I prefer the wired one and use my headphone jack almost daily.

I buy Xperia phones solely for the headphone jack and I use mine daily.

I used to, but recent budget wireless (Earfun, Soundcore, et al.) are getting good enough to compete with wired for me. Having things like multipoint pairing which is obviously not possible with wired is hard to go back from once you get used to it.

I use the soundcore life q10 and love it. I have had it for ~5 years now and have never once killed them. I think thevlowest i ever got them to was 20%. And i used them on a 44 hour greyhound trip and couldnt kill them. They just go and go and go some more

I use it a lot for podcasts and music. I won’t buy a fucking phone without a fucking headphone jack. That shit can burn in hell.

I bought a $100 2023 phone and I use the headphone jack

My current phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, but if it did I would every day. Still use wired every day on laptop and pc.

I would if I had one, I use a lightning adapter with wired headphones

I use my earbuds most of the time for music and podcasts, but the wires ones are mainly for gaming because of latency.
