Sometimes older tech is better. I have both Bluetooth and wired headphones, and I prefer the wired ones. In fact, I'm wearing wired headphones right now, because my laptop has a jack. I can't do that on my phone, because my phone doesn't have a jack (and I refuse to use a dongle), so I use inferior Bluetooth headphones.

I would much rather have a slightly larger phone with worse water proofing if it means I can have a headphone jack. I have never had an issue with water ingress, or with a slightly thick phone, but I have had an issue w/ my Bluetooth headphones dying and not being able to plug in my wired headphones. In fact, my Bluetooth headphones have the option for a wire, so I just need to plug in a cable to keep listening if the batteries die (fairly often when traveling).
