On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

I do. While I don't end up using headphones terribly often, I still prefer wired ones when I do. I would lose bluetooth earbuds in a heartbeat, and it wouldn't be worth the expense to replace them.

This is the issue I have. I don't think I ever lost a set of wired headphones in my life, and I swear I lose a set of wireless buds once a year. Sometimes they turn up in a weird place months later. But that's why I usually opt for cheaper ones, it doesn't hurt as much when they disappear. However I recently got a free set of Google buds with a new phone. The quality and features are amazing, but it's really only so long before I lose them. This is something I have come to accept.
