Every day, I have an app that connects the audio of my pc to my phone through wifi and using bluetooth would just make the whole setup unusable for calls + wifi has better range and audio quality than bluetooth. The whole setup is PC->Ethernet->Router->wifi->Phone for ~30 ms of latency and the app is soundwire.

All my headphones are wired so daily. I have a dongle for an iPad I use frequently and it works fine but charging it is a drain.

Me, at least once a week

redxef ,

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

I used to use mine pretty regularly for some wired IEM’s and sometimes connecting it to my PC.

But a couple months ago, I put my phone in a bag of silica gel balls to absorb some water after it got wet.

Cannot recommend this to anyone else though… because those balls actually have roughly the same diameter as the headphone jack and one got completely stuck inside, making the port unusable. :(

turn the phone off and try fishing it out with a sewing needle. maybe 2 and try and chop stick it. i got one many out like this, happened to me frequently because i used to work in plastics.

melooone ,

Thanks for the tip! Im gonna buy some needles from the store tomorrow to try it out.

I use it every single day. My phone just died, I have a temporary phone with Jack, but I know my next one won’t have one and I’m afraid of that change.

I’ve tried using an adapter and the quality sucks.

I probably would if I had one. I used it all the time on the last phone I had that did have it.

I use bluetooth when I’m out and wired when I’m home

I basically stopped using wired headphones when Work From Home became a thing. I kept getting up from my desk and wanting to keep my audio going while wandering around and having wireless is perfect for my small house. I would definitely want to go back to wired if I was commuting or out in public daily though.

Lately I’ve been using my Bluetooth headphones more, because of the noise cancelling. However, I still use my phone’s headphone jack about once a week.

On my iPad I almost never use Bluetooth headphones because I mostly only use it for note taking with the Apple Pencil so I take it where I go often and hate having it auto connect/disconnect to my Bluetooth headphones when I’m not even using my iPad. And because Apple the quick toggle to turn off Bluetooth only works until the next day. So I almost exclusively use the jack on my iPad and I’m mad they got away with removing it on the tablets and all the Android OEMs followed through (except Samsung).

I have a pair of hybrid headphones that are both bluetooth and support 3.5mm wired.

I use them wired on my PC and bluetooth everywhere else.

I don’t anymore. I have a pair of Pixel Buds which I love for most situations. When I want low latency or high quality, I can plug my over ear BT headphones into my phone via USB-C. Sound is phenomenal.

OfficerBribe ,

Don’t have one and personally I do not care anymore. I probably will never go back to wired on phone.

PC is a different story, I use wired headset there exclusively unless it is work PC and I need mic, then I also use wireless.

My phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, but I use wired headphones every day, so I use an adapter. I’ve had the same ones for about 10 years now, so I see no reason to replace them.

aidan ,

How do you get headphones to last 10 years? I usually have to replace mine every year or so, because of the padding wilting, or normal wears, or just something happening.

Jestzer ,

Both the ear piece padding and the cord are easily replaceable. I have replaced the cord… maybe once? The padding I’ve replaced a few times and is around $30 to do so.

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.
