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

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.

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.

as a backup. like when on a plane and my wireless ones die. or to plug into stereo aux

Robboman93 ,

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

orangeboats ,

I am using it now as I’m commenting.

Been using it daily for years at this point.

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 did until it was taken away from me. I would still use them regularly. I still out my phone in my pocket upside down on habit.

I fucking hate wireless headphones. I miss my wired headphones.

woodgen ,

I also hate wireless headphones and use wired USB-C headphones. One fewer thing to charge.

I bought nice fancy wireless earbuds once, and lost one of them like 2 weeks in when I fell to river with bicycle. Maybe it’s a 1 in a million case, but showed a good reason to not have wireless buds

Contend6248 ,

TBF most likely both would’ve been gone by then

hemko ,

I had both on me when I fell, but only lost one.

Anyways, accidents are a common when doing sports so it’s always a good chance to lose those small things. Clear win for wires there

I haven’t used wired earphones or headphones in maybe 4 years now. No way I would go back to being tethered to my PC and/or dealing with tangled wires, especially with how well the newer versions of Bluetooth work.

cley_faye ,

If my current phone had one, I would use it daily. Unfortunately it doesn’t, so I moved to bluetooth headset. This means charging regularly, (very) occasional drop in connection in crowded space. The only alternative is an USB C adapter I could use, but then I’d have to unplug/replug it everytime I want to charge my phone.

I will look for a phone with a jack for my next one, but if the current trend keep going it might not be an option (not an affordable one).

I’ve been using a phone without a headphone jack for 3 years now with galaxy buds, if i didn’t accidentally break the included usbc headset id be using that instead (even on pc) but i did so now i use the headphone jack on my wireless xbox controller on pc (connected to my pc via usb because my motherboard’s audio makes noises when the pc is basically doing anything and echoes my mic into my left ear on windows (not a toggle in software or anything but said problem goes away if i power cycle pc by psu and then boot into linux)) and on phone i get to deal with Bluetooth and if i did have a usbc headset again i wouldn’t be able to use it and charge the phone in a practical way (wireless charging is an option but my phone discharges faster than it changes wired (when connected to pc), wireless charging is even slower)

Darcranium ,

I use mine 2x per week and despise Bluetooth for many of the reasons described in this thread by others

I definitely used it when I had it on my previous phone. These days though… bluetooth headphones are good enough for me for calls, podcasts and YouTube. So I just use those.

Agent641 ,

I use it every day, to store valuable pocket lint and bits of dirt.
