All the time, always and forever.
I will buy adaptors, and seek out wired headphones with a jack that fits my phone.
Friends and families have bought me wireless headphones, but I am a walking Bluetooth black zone (I'm constantly having to reset Bluetooth connections on my all my devices, no one else in my household has the same problem), and I'm notorious for loosing things.
I superglued my wireless ear buds to a chunky necklace so even if one fell out it wouldn't get lost, it would just dangle around my neck. Lost the whole thing somewhere between the garage and the front door one night. Got my housemates out crawling in the grass looking for it with torches and playing the "lost ear bud" tone from the app, but we never found it. Not even when mowing the lawn did we ever hear it getting chewed up.
I'm not an audiophile, I have reverse slope hearing loss and I'm currently using a $10 pair of 3.5mm earphones with a $7 usbc adaptor and its exactly what I need because it's cheap, replaceable, and I wouldn't even notice better audio quality if it stuck it's tongue in my ear.
