If there was one I think I’d prefer it.

Almost everyday, the day my current phone diee and when i get a new one i would need a dongle for my iem

hakunawazo ,

I use it to collect sand and little stones in my device.
But also to have a backup if my bluetooth in-ears get low on battery or i need to plug the phone to my old school amplifier.

I stopped using it because my cables got always damaged after a few weeks/months of usage. With a (big) phone in my pocket it’s just not possible for me to put no stress on the jack.

I actually stopped listening music on the road for a few years after that until I started using Bluetooth headphones/in ears. Now I wouldn’t go back to cable even if it didn’t break down so fast.

Literally every day. I got a new phone without one – P7P, and when I reached to plug my wired headphones in, my next action was ordering a USB-C DAC. It’s stupid that the industry has gone in this direction. An analog jack costs you basically nothing in material costs, it’s like 5mm of plastic and copper, some solder, no more than 0.30-0.52 ¢ on a phone that market retail sells for $900-1200. It’s insanity.

The cost isn’t the only thing affected by the BOM. It also has implications on design, elements protection, dimensions, and mass. I understand many still love this feature though and consider it well worth the trade-offs.

another strong “yes” from me. my wired headset has much better speech quality than bluetooth ones. i didn’t upgrade my phone since the new Pixels dropped the headphone jack, instead i fixed the screen and battery and keep it another couple of years

Every single day.

I use it. I also use bluetooth headphones but wired headphones are more reliable. No connection problems. And I haven’t tried bluetooth headphones with microphone so I don’t know if they’re any good. I need the microphone for phone calls.

I use earphones to listen to music and take calls hads free quite often.

I recently got a new phone, a Fairphone 5, which doesn’t have a headphone jack, and I’m already missing it.

Listening to music is fine, I just use a USB-C to jack adapter, but I’ve been told people can’t hear me well when I’m doing the same to take a call.

The other day I was in the car with my brother for hours and wanted to put on some music. I couldn’t connect to the car radio via Bluetooth because my brother already was and needed it to take calls and whatnot, so AUX cable here we go. Except apparently my phone does something weird like shutting down the USB port when not in use (reasonable) between songs, creating a noise like when you connect a jack to a powered on speaker, which was super annoying.

So, yes, I use the headphones jack and sorely miss it.

doggle ,

I don’t have one. When I did I used it every day.

Now I have a stupid dongle which I use nearly every day.

SakuraTribeScout ,

I’ve got the exact same situation!

SeaJ ,

If I had one, I would. I walked my kid to school recently and grabbed some wired ear buds for the walk back. I had to spend the walk back listening to boring nature and shit.

There is really no reason to not have one. It does not significantly increase the cost of the phone. The space saving excuse does not really hold water. If the Zenfone can fit one, then all the other gargantuan phones should be able to.

everyday

Every day.

While I’m walking/commuting, I have my headphones in and am listening to something, be it music, podcasts, or audiobooks. Even on days I don’t have anywhere to go I’ll go on a walk for about an hour and will be listening to something the whole time. I’d buy a phone without a camera before I bought one without a headphone jack.

I refused to get a phone without one for quite a long while and finally caved. I haven’t used wired headphones in years but I hate that there isn’t the option anymore as a default.
