I also use it daily. I bought a cheap aux to bt adapter for my car so I could wirelessly play music but it’s not as good as just plugging it in directly. And it’s an extra dongle thing to worry about.

I really just wanted to do Bluetooth because it’s slightly more convenient, and when I’m charging my phone while it’s plugged into aux there’s a bit of a whine over my music. But having the option to do aux when I want is important to me personally

To fix the whine buy a ground loop isolator for less than $10 (they’re all the same). It will sit in-line on the input cord.

Basically your phone is getting two paths to ground - the power connection and the headphone jack. This causes interference (the whine). It’s also not good for the power control systems in the phone, though I think it would take years of being connected to actually damage it.

Ah, this is great information. Thank you, I’ll look into that

Very often. My wired headset connects to sounds better for calls than my wireless earbuds.

I used it often. Since I got a phone without one, as an upgrade, I use a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor nearly every time I go out. The adaptor is always plugged into my headphones.

I use my daily and purchased my phone primarily based on the fact it had a 3.5 jack. I am a long time DJ so my headphones are very comfortable and natural for me.

I would but I don’t really have any headphones, but I have some I definitely would, it’s a cheaper version of airpods

Have to be honest. I do a bit of music producing, so I am a little bit of a snob about quality.

But on a phone, on the go, the convenience of bluetooth and not having to be tethered to anything beats the obvious downsides for me.

I use proper equipment when I want to listen in high quality and properly.

So, I haven’t had a jack input in a long time, and have missed it exactly zero times so far. But can really well understand the need for it if phone’s often with you on the go and you don’t often sit down in a specific listening spot at home. And probably any other reasons are equally understandable. I think I am the weird one here.

Every night ! I listen to a sleep podcast. I recently changed to a phone without a 3.5mm jack and was kinda scrambling to figure out an alternative. I had a splitter for power and headphones, but it didn’t work the way I thought it should: I was used to unplugging the headphones from the phone and that would automatically pause the audio, and plugging in would resume. For some reason (perhaps cheapness) the splitter reported the headphones as present whether or not headphones were actually connected. I ended up getting a BT dongle which has a pause button and I can just take it with when I step away from the phone.

I used to use it a lot. I still have some nice headphones that I like using, but they have become 2nd choice. I have bone conducting headphones that I use daily.

I prefer them, because I can still communicate, ride the bike, and never have to pause the music. But if I have to do anything loud, the wired buds are coming out to plug the ear holes.

Multiple times a week. I make music and connect my phone to the PA to practice or listen to playbacks. It also goes into the e-drums as playback device. If you're using proper audio equipment, the headphone jack is useful for a lot of stuff. I even have a rumble-metronome that connects via headphone jack.

I have never once used the audio jack on a phone, Bluetooth is just much more convenient for me and has never caused me any issues.

I stopped buying devices that are aux only because the headphone jack was taken away from me. At first I was kinda upset. Down the road I realized if I was given the choice to go back, I wouldn’t use wired ever again. I lost too many earbuds and headphones because the wire got caught on a door or something similar. I don’t lose them as often anymore either. Once I get home I put them in the charger and pick them up in the morning, it’s a habit at this point. Overall net positive.

I’ve used the self-retracting neck-band type for years. Those are brilliant.

Available when needed, forget about them otherwise. Big enough for a decent battery.

I’ve had great luck with the LG ones, and they’re as low as $50

Twice a year when I’m on a plane and have to use my other headphones because they’re more noise cancelling. Other than that, never. I hate having a cord and getting it stuck on things and ripping my headphones out of my ears.

I have not owned a phone with a headphone jack in a long time.

Daily. Mostly Spotify and Youtube or when I don’t want to listen to my wife.
