I am using it now as I'm commenting.

Been using it daily for years at this point.

Every single day.

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 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.

Daily. Bought my sennheiser wired noise cancelling headphones in 2017 and they look quite rough now but still sound great and nc is still on par or better than most new headphobes. My brother and sister bought the bluetooth counterpart and both have replaced them years ago since they broke.

Every time I need headphones.

Wireless is more hassle than convenience. Bluetooth, especially for audio, is rather shit and having to charge batteries is annoying.

And speaking of batteries, earbuds are yet another bit of trash you are just supposed to throw away when they stop working, because there's nothing you'll be able to do about it.

Current model doesn't have one, but I find myself missing it frequently. 3.5mm jack will be a must on my next phone.

If you play rhythm games you just have to

I use it every time I listen to music.

if my phone had one i would use it everyday, 8 hours a day

My phone doesn't have one and I miss it daily. I ended up getting Bluetooth earpieces because being unable to plug anything else in my phone while listening to music was driving me mad, but then those little shits' batteries only last for a few hours and I still have to be switching things up during the day while they recharge.

I have always hated wired earbuds, the cable would tangle up, it would break, it was a mess, I love being wireless.

When I do miss a jack is when you want to connect to a sound system beacause you are somewhere and it could use some atmosphere and they have a 3.5 jack, but you can't use it, it's rare, but in those instance it's annoying to not have it.

Use it every single day on my Zenfone. Have bunch of headphones to use with it too.

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

I used to use it daily until I broke my last phone with a headphone jack. I switched to a usb-c adapter, but that lasted all of one week before it stopped working. (phone would only recognize it as an unknown device that the phone needed to charge...)

Reluctantly I switched to a free pair of basic wireless headphones and was pleasantly surprised with the convenience and battery life. Used those for 6ish months before buying a nice set from Raycon (mostly because of a promo code from a YouTuber). That added Active Noise Cancelation, Awareness mode (boost surroundings instead of suppressing them), and wireless charging the case. I've been really quite happy with them since.

Now I just keep a usb-c to aux adapter with each stereo/set of speakers that I may plug my phome into. I'd like to find a simple Bluetooth receiver that then outputs to aux.

I use mine almost on a daily basis, with my headphones and when I connect my phone to my stereo system.

I do have Chromecast Audio hooked up and I own good wireless Hi-Fi earbuds, but I prefer to use cables. They just work better, no interference or any other hassle.

Multiple hours per day. I listen to a lot of podcasts at work on my porta pros and music on my etymotics. I don't like dealing with wireless stuff.

I have an aux port for audio in my car. So everytime I drive I'll use it

I use mine to connect to my sound system. Also I don’t use the audio jack most of the time but it feels like an essential backup for when Bluetooth wants to be dumb and glitchy… which is actually not that uncommon now that I think about it.

still using an LG V30 (24bit 96k dac) with a few varying pairs of IEMs almost daily. going to keep using the V30 until it doesn't work on cell networks anymore. really don't want to have to fuck about with carrying an external dac to use good headphones.

I actually don't have a headphone jack, which i only realised when i got my new phone. So i had to buy one of those usb-c to jack dongles and i use it daily. (I like to go to sleep listening to some English historian talking in my head, but i also like having my phone strictly in airplane mode in the bedroom, so bluetooth is out of the pot.)

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.

I'm using my headphones jack right now! I use it mainly when I am commuting on the train. I don't want to worry about battery life and charging my headphones.

I used to use it every day until I realized my new phone doesn't have one. Now I still use wired headphones for music when I'm near my computer. I have bluetooth earbuds that work...okay, but I have to deal with one earbud not connecting, or making sure I haven't lost one, or I take one out for a second to hear something and the music just stops, or it just doesn't connect to begin with, or I want to switch between two devices and it would be sooo much easier to just unplug something and plug it back in than to go through settings, unpair/re-pair between two devices, and hope that it actually worked the first time.

If you live with other family members and watch pornhub on your cellphone even once, trust me, you ARE gonna use the headphone jack.

Multiple times a week. I make music and connect my phone to the PA to practice or listen to playbacks. It also goes into the e-drums as playback device. If you're using proper audio equipment, the headphone jack is useful for a lot of stuff. I even have a rumble-metronome that connects via headphone jack.

I used it daily when i had one

I only use wired headphones. I don't like earbuds, and Bluetooth headphones are too bulky and need charging.

everyday

I will no longer buy a phone without a headphone jack

I use mine.

I bought a USB-C to 3.5" converter so that I can use my headphones. If I had an actual jack, I'd be using it every day.

I still listen to radio on my phone. Wired headphones are required, as they serve as the antenna.

Other than that, I do a lot of running. Given how often it rains, headphones last no longer than half a year, and wired ones are far cheaper to replace. (I do have a pair of wireless Shockz, which handle water very well, but they are not good for city running with high ambient noise.)

I walk through some neighbourhoods with many high-risk apartments, and there is so much interference from all the Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, and other wireless devices using 2.4 GHz, that even the best wireless headphones skip & stutter playback.

It also takes so much longer to switch wireless headphones to a different device, especially when they all compete to connect to the headphones.

Let me make the decision when to use wireless, don't make it for me. A DAC USB-C dongle is dumb.

I do. Right now I'm listening to music on my phone through wired headphones. I have too many smart things already connected via bluetooth to my phone: 2 different wireless speakers, an electronic drumset, smart TV, car, fitness tracker (I'm sure I'm forgetting something) and I came to like the idea of physically plugging something in order for sound to be played through it, especially if both phone and external device are physically close to me during the whole interaction, like with a headset.

Every day. Removing them is ridiculous and pointless.

The kitchen disco requires really good headphones. You don't get ear covering sound without a jack.

Definitely wired for more serious listening and important calls.

I see a lot of people talking about latency - I am generally very sensitive to this, but I think Apple gets the delay down pretty low with AirPods.

I have another complaint, though: the Bluetooth spec doesn't allow for enough bandwidth to simultaneously send and receive audio at proper bitrates, so any time you are doing both, it dramatically reduces the quality of both. This means if you are using Bluetooth for anything better than PSTN calls, you sound like shit.

Also, the microphones in AirPods make this so much worse by emphasizing sounds of anything you are doing - if you wash dishes or crumple a bag or basically anything, even if it seems relatively quiet for you, there is a good chance it will be loud as fuck for the other person.

Anyone else find it annoying to have to constantly charge your earbuds. I've been so used to just plugging my headphones in and forgetting them. I'm tired of constant "low battery" because I forgot to charge them last night.
