Every day at work when I listen to music.

I don’t. It’s nice not to have to have a wire wrapped around me, being able to walk freely around without worrying about it possibly getting snagged or needing to have my phone on me just to have headphones on. The shortcomings of Bluetooth have all been largely solved for every use case other than music production. Even for gaming I use a pair of headphones with a proprietary dongle that has no perceptible latency, and they last over a month.

I keep losing my usb c to headphone jack, but I usually use it a couple times a week when its not lost. I have airpods, but I’m on android so I lost the charger for it, and nearly lost the airpods many times.

Do you have issues with keeping track of things like that in general? There are adapter keychains you can use to keep any on your keys. Or I’ve found having a specific place for things helps me, I used to lose my usb-c adapter but now I just always put it in the same spot when I am done using it.

Last phone I had a jack for was iPhone 5, would use it all the time for music and podcasts, would much prefer having a jack now instead of Bluetooth

My phone doesn’t have a headphone jack. Despite this, I used a pair of shitty wired IEMs every day when I walk my dog. I don’t really think bluetooth is all that bad, it works for me most of the time, except on my oldass car which I bought one of those bluetooth to radio short throw transmitters that plugs in the ciggy lighter and it gets really staticky when it rains, but my car’s speaker system wasn’t doing wonders anyways so I don’t think it matters that much.

No, I don’t have a problem with bluetooth, but I still think it’s probably worse for most every application I could think of, compared to an aux jack. The amount of time I save by having my phone automatically connect to my car compared to plugging in my phone is basically nothing. Takes about 3 seconds for my phone to connect, takes about 3 seconds for my phone to get plugged in. Same with regular headphones. About the only thing I can maybe think of is a wireless speaker, but I tend not to use those very often and you could probably do that over wifi in most applications. That, and the cost of bluetooth is just always gonna be higher than an aux jack, or a wire. Shut up about DACs, too, I don’t care. A cost of like 4 bucks for a usb-c to aux cable is going to perform about the same as your pretentious 500 dollar usb-c to usb to usb powered DAC to aux port chain you have going on because of “noise”. That’s insane. It’s insane to carry that shit around in your pocket all day.

Headphones, you’re paying more for worse quality, basically every time, and this will hold true for every device. Plus there’s always the fuggin batteries and the little stupid case, and I’m not paying more for a new pair of shittier headphones when in 3 years my bluetooth headphones can’t hold a charge because the manufacturer didn’t program anything for a trickle charge to preserve battery life.

I dunno, this makes me mad, phones not being 16:9 makes me mad, phones not fitting in my dainty little hands makes me mad.

I do a good 50% of my phonecalls on wired earbuds or wired headset. It’s much more convenient than holding the phone, especially for long calls.

AlecSadler ,

When my phone had one, I used it probably every day.

I still miss it. All Bluetooth buds I’ve used have this stupid quirk in Teams, for example, where a call will interrupt the meeting and even if I immediately hang up, it takes like 2-5 seconds for Teams to switch back to Bluetooth. I never had this issue with an aux jack.

I also had a problem the other day where my Bluetooth buds just would. not. connect. for some stupid reason despite having worked OK for a week prior. On my phone with an aux jack that was never a problem.

For music, I used to use a really nice set of Sennheiser’s with my phone, and while I’m no audiophile, I swear using an adapter just isn’t the same (even though I know technically it should support the same bandwidth).

Another thing I really miss are phones that came with IR Blasters.

If I’m in the mood for better sound quality I do. Bluetooth has noticably poorer quality on anything but the worst equipment.

I also use the headphone jack when I don’t want to deal with the inexplicably still not addressed after decades terrible Bluetooth connectivity issues.

thesorehead ,

A couple times a week. Tried going without, but missed it too much. Now a headphone jack is a key requirement. Bluetooth headphone mics in particular are rubbish compared to a basic wired option.

Using a Samsung Galaxy A10e over here, currently listening to music over wired earphones typing this

Me. Sorry not much to add. I just like it.

GravityAce ,

A couple times a week. Not dilligent about charging my headset makes the wired option really nice

HobbitFoot ,

My current phone doesn’t have a headphone jack; I bought adapters since I use only wired headphones.

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.
