increase the depth of the back of the phone so there is no camera bump. then use the additional volume for more battery and a headphone jack. geez

I’m fine without the headphone jack to be honest… I kind of miss it, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t happy with my wireless headphones. But! Just make the phone thicker and get rid of the camera bump! I don’t like camera bumps!

the bumps are insane

DeadMartyr ,

I prefer having a dedicated headphone jack, I dislike wireless devices, heck, my mouse is wired. But my new Android removed it sadly.

The main reason why I’m okay with not having it is because there’s no decent wired headphones, all are either for children or incredibly cheaply-made.

That seems like an odd thing to state. There are lots of wired headphones and ear buds of all prices and styles. Are you only looking in store or also online?

Get one thats wireless, and has an aux port. best of both worlds.

There are several premium headphones like that.

Didn’t realize this was a thing, I’ll look into that

I stopped using wired headphones before I had a device without a headphone jack.

I found the cord infuriating, always seemed to get caught or tangled on things, always making sensitive skin contact (like just beneath my jawline) where I was forever readjusting it and sometimes the cords lifted the headphone out of my ear.

Conversely, I’ve had three pairs of wireless headphones. First pair didn’t like getting christened in the washing machine, second pair is still going strong and third pair are AirPod Pros I bought before a flight for the noise cancellation which are also going strong. Maybe I’ve outsmarted the whole of Apple’s engineering/marketing department but I’ve never felt like the sets I’ve had are underperforming on battery life and have no reason to buy sets to replace the working ones I have. The small conveniences, like not being tethered to my phone and freedom from cords, have absolutely made the change to wireless worth it to me.

The biggest and most obvious downside against wireless headphones is compatibility and price.

I use mine. Quite often. Especially for using my nice headphones.

I’ve started using Bluetooth buds for when I’m at the hospital for dialysis because it’s easier without a cable. But the best audio experience I still get with wired.

Also the car has an aux input to play my music on the phone through the car stereo and it needs a jack.

Still use them. I don’t buy phones without them. And I don’t prefer wireless so…

Rarely, but I like knowing it’s there if my headphones run out of battery and I need to join a meeting or make a call.

sarmale ,

Every time i use headphones

Wooki ,

Yup use it with multiple devices, car and headphones. Bring it bloody back. No intention of buying another overpriced accessory plain and simple

TWeaK ,

I don’t use it anymore because my current phone doesn’t have it, and I’ve had to buy bluetooth headphones. As soon as I get another phone with a jack I’ll be straight back to wired.

I use it. When I changed my smartphone and my tablet I searched for models with headphones jack. I have a pair of wireles headphones but the sound they produce is terrible, and besides they need to be recharged, so you can find yourself with no battery on them on the middle of a commute, trip or whatever place. I have two pair of JBL cable headphones that costed 10 euros each (way cheaper than the wireless), sound is perfect, never run out of “battery”… Why would I prefer more expensive ones with poor sound quality and ones that I don’t know if they are going to be able to be in use for the time I need them???

I use it daily, to connect my phone to my car AUX input and my various (very expensive) headphones.

redxef ,

Whenever my fiio runs out of power. About once a week.

Daily

Xeroxchasechase ,

All the time

I made the switch to full Bluetooth a few years back.

Honestly don’t ever miss the headphone jack nowadays, but I’ll admit that making the initial jump was a bit of a hassle.
