I use both, but I prefer wired mostly. I use wireless only when I'm walking outside or going for a jog.

Can someone explain to me why phones don't offer 2 USB-C ports on the top and bottom? It seems to me like that would be the perfect solution. Is this purely about selling bluetooth headphones or is there something else?

damn, we do give a shit about this! 500 comments in a day about something so simple

maybe we should strike for this

Bring BACK the JACK!!

It doesn't matter how often. When you need it, you need it.

I use it all the time. I'm holding off on upgrading my phone so that I don't lose it.

I do. I also actively search for phones with FM radio.

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

I used it back when they still put them in flagship phones. The audio quality is much, much higher than via Bluetooth.

I use a DAC now, but it's not great...

Nearly every day for me. I love having my headphones on while I walk to work or am on the bus. I had to buy a new phone about a month ago and I exclusively shopped phones that came with a headphone jack.

All the time, it's great for riding the train or focusing at work. I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones but they're slower and harder to connect so I prefer wired over them. Also since wired are cheaper and don't require batteries I can keep a spare pair in my car or at my desk so I never have to worry about forgetting and not having them

Until I didn't buy a phone without one, literally dailly.

All the time, even when Bluetooth is available instead. It's simply more reliable.

I do, its so much better than this bluetooth nonsense for simple everyday use. No charging, no pairing and FM Radio. Checkmate!

If my current phone had one, I would use it daily. Unfortunately it doesn't, so I moved to bluetooth headset. This means charging regularly, (very) occasional drop in connection in crowded space. The only alternative is an USB C adapter I could use, but then I'd have to unplug/replug it everytime I want to charge my phone.

I will look for a phone with a jack for my next one, but if the current trend keep going it might not be an option (not an affordable one).

I use wired daily. I also use wireless a few times a week.

I have multiple Bluetooth headphones that I use and wear often, and I generally prefer them. But a phone with no headphone jack is a non-starter.

Wired headphones are bedrock.They don't need to be charged. They work easily across devices. I don't have to worry about dropping them, or fumbling with menus to connect. They just work, always, immediately. Not having headphones that work when you need them is a huge problem.

I use it exclusively. No Bluetooth headphones for me.

almost daily. really glad with my current wired earbuds, they are lasting years with constant use, with really thin wires and all

Don‘t have one and honestly I don’t miss it.

I only use wired headphones at my computer.

Mine doesn't have it but Xiaomi have a USB C to headphone jack adaptor and I use it everyday.

I can’t, they took it away.

All the time. I wouldn't want a phone without it

Daily with a USB-C DAC (prefer no DAC). I've had Bluetooth headphones ranging from $30 to $300. Keeping them charged is just a pain in the ass and the battery inevitability wears out due to too many cycles.

All my peers stalling our remote meetings for 5+ minutes when their air pods die or have pairing issues also annoys the fuck out of me as it happens every damn week. We do a lot of pair programming sitting in discord all day.

Until the tech improves, I'll stick with wired.

I prefer wired - one less thing to charge.

I use it every day, plus a 512 GB SD card to store ROMs, striping functionalities is ridiculous.

Every dang day. I refuse to buy a phone without one

I do. I can't use earbuds. I use wired fullsize headphones

I don't use headphones often, but when I do its' via wired headphones. I had to buy a USB-C-to-3.5mm adapter, but the max volume is half of what my old phone with a 3.5mm jack could deliver.

Cheap wireless devices like headphones are way too finicky and prone to breakage, not to mention the battery lifespan is just a few years. I've had my nice wired headphones for 10 years.

All the time, every day

I used it right up until I didn't have a port in the phone for it anymore. Wired is 100% more reliable for headphones. I'm not even an audiophile, I just hate how Bluetooth drops and comes back wherever it wants. If we're going to do wireless then we need a better protocol.

The most recent phone I purchased does not a 3.5mm jack. It wasn't really a decision I realized I was making, as the phone's previous iteration had had it in an era when that wasn't a given.

There have been a few times that I've missed it, not many, certainly fewer than 10 never a huge deal. But that's infinitely more times than I've thought:

I'm so glad my phone doesn't have a headphone jack.

Next phone will definitely have one because honestly

yeah I might use that

Is enough justification to spend $0.25 (if that) for them to integrate a jack. What stupid cost cutting.

Yeah still have one on my phone, still use it daily. I won't buy a phone without one. Still rocking the apple wired headphones 10 years later. Still have a headphone jack in my car.

I like using wired headphones when I take phone calls. The headset profile that Bluetooth switches to when it needs to activate a microphone sounds like total ass and I have trouble understanding what people say as it is.

I am using it now as I'm commenting.

Been using it daily for years at this point.

I used to miss it but nowadays not really. AirPods Pro does the job wirelessly and if I ever have to use a cable version for music, I will just use the connector for the time being.

Every single day.

I use it by default to listen to podcasts when running or at the gym. I only buy phones with a headphone jack because I feel like wired headphones are a better feature than any flagship phone stuff. Wired headphones are much cheaper, interchangeable, harder to lose, no connection hassles, and best of all I don't need to remember to charge them. The only downside is tangles.

I have a pair of wireless earbuds I got ages ago for about 5x what my wired earbuds cost, when I mistakenly bought a non-jack phone. I don't use them since going back to a jacked phone.

I use headphone jack everyday since I use a iem. I hate using wireless buds.

My new phone doesn't have a headphone jack. Anyways I currently use my old phone daily because I hate how blue tooth audio is always slightly delayed. Watching videos is such a pain in the ass. Also it's next to impossible to find non earbud Bluetooth headphones making my corded headset a must for listening to anything for extended periods of time. Especially when traveling iny home state where earbuds hold air pressure.

When I had a phone with a jack, I used it daily to listen to podcasts or music during my commute. Now, without a jack, I use a converter daily to listen to podcasts and music during my commute, but can no longer charge my phone and listen at the same time.

I dont live in a 1st world so I prefer 3.5mm jack headphones over usb c ones because headphone manufacturers don't have to bother with DAC and can use that money to build better audio drivers

When using wireless headphones you basically need to buy $100 ones before they equal the sound quality of a $5 dollar headphone set.

I accidentally bought a phone without a jack and I hate it because now I need to use a stupid little dongle that doesn't work properly.
