When using wireless headphones you basically need to buy $100 ones before they equal the sound quality of a $5 dollar headphone set.

I accidentally bought a phone without a jack and I hate it because now I need to use a stupid little dongle that doesn’t work properly.

Skullcandy Sesh Evo noise cancelling earbuds- $65. Sounds good, works well, battery life long, etc.

Fisk400 ,

Thats progress I guess. Its still 10 times the price I used to pay for headphones tough.

Oh agreed there, my headphones of choice used to be $15 Akai headphones which were like earplugs with a tiny speaker in the middle, almost as good as noise-cancelling.

Actual noise-cancelling was worth the price for me though. And I admit it’s kind of nice to not accidentally pull the headphones out of the jack all the time.

I am using it now as I’m commenting.

Been using it daily for years at this point.

Robboman93 ,

I use it everyday, I still like wired earphones a lot.

aesopjah ,

Use it every day. Yeah wireless earphones are great, but they’re far from perfect; some pairs have delays and issues with audio quality, turning on bluetooth drains my phone battery quicker, and I have enough devices which I need to maintain and recharge all the time - I can’t be doing with another one.

The only hassle you get with wired earphones is them tangling up and limiting how far you can move your head, but I’d take those over connection issues any day.

When I use IEMs I use an Apple USB-C to 3.5.mm dongle for my Pixel. Weirdly good value ngl. Nowadays I do have a pair of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro as well. I use them more than wired headphones at this point. So while a headphone jack would still be nice, to me it’s not that necessary anymore.

Until I didn’t buy a phone without one, literally dailly.

I use wired headphones in bed, listening to podcast and whatnot. Easier to just yank out and throw away when falling asleep. I use lightning headphones right now…

Current phone: Never, because it doesn’t have one.

Last phone: Also never, because I had decent Bluetooth headphones.

Phone before that: All the time, but broke several sets of earbuds from snagging on things and getting frayed.

Genuinely can’t be arsed to wear a piece of wire down my clothes like I’m a small child with some fucking mittens on a string. Could not give two fucks about the 3.5mm jack dying out.

I like using wired headphones when I take phone calls. The headset profile that Bluetooth switches to when it needs to activate a microphone sounds like total ass and I have trouble understanding what people say as it is.

Exactly. I use my ath50x headset usually wirelessly but for calls I switch to the wire. I have tried using the headset mode but have been told everytime that I am uninteligible in that mode because the mic is fucking shit. I even vompared it with the help of my friends on discord and they said to jist keep using the wire.

I have always hated wired earbuds, the cable would tangle up, it would break, it was a mess, I love being wireless.

When I do miss a jack is when you want to connect to a sound system beacause you are somewhere and it could use some atmosphere and they have a 3.5 jack, but you can’t use it, it’s rare, but in those instance it’s annoying to not have it.

Evotech ,

There are Bluetooth in aux adapters but you’re not going to carry one of those with you at all times :p

My phone doesn’t have one and I miss it daily. I ended up getting Bluetooth earpieces because being unable to plug anything else in my phone while listening to music was driving me mad, but then those little shits’ batteries only last for a few hours and I still have to be switching things up during the day while they recharge.

Everyday. I am an audiophile and I prefer analog signal audio fidelity over Bluetooth, though I will admit wireless audio has come a long way in quality since its inception. Also, I resent having to charge another device in day-to-day use.

HowManyNimons ,

I’m the opposite. I miss my headphone jack because if I lose or forget my headphones, I used to be able to pick up a podcast-worthy pair for a few quid. Bluetooth ones start at a much higher price point, so I’m more likely to go without.

My friends workshop has an old stereo in it. We use the Aux cable to play music on that.

Otherwise I usually have a pair of cheap headphones in my bag in case the bluetooth ones run out.

it’s the olny way i can use headphones right now since I don’t have wireless headphones
