What's a headphone jack?

JK, I used to use mine a lot, when I had one. I was sad to see it go, but I've moved on. I can use the USB-C port just as easily, if I want to.

I use IEMs and wired headphones. Having a headphone jack would be game changer since I can charge and play music at the same time (I don't want to buy a 2 in 1 dongle).

I bought nice fancy wireless earbuds once, and lost one of them like 2 weeks in when I fell to river with bicycle. Maybe it's a 1 in a million case, but showed a good reason to not have wireless buds

I use it every time I drive.

I bought a dongle for $7 and use it at work, maybe twice a week?

I basically stopped using wired headphones when Work From Home became a thing. I kept getting up from my desk and wanting to keep my audio going while wandering around and having wireless is perfect for my small house. I would definitely want to go back to wired if I was commuting or out in public daily though.

If I still had one I would use it every day. I now use Bluetooth bone conducting headphones so I can hear other things while I listen to The Majority Report while I work.

Everyday

I refused to get a phone without one for quite a long while and finally caved. I haven't used wired headphones in years but I hate that there isn't the option anymore as a default.

Well I do almost daily

I use wired headphones in bed, listening to podcast and whatnot. Easier to just yank out and throw away when falling asleep. I use lightning headphones right now..

I definitely used it when I had it on my previous phone. These days though… bluetooth headphones are good enough for me for calls, podcasts and YouTube. So I just use those.

My phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but I use wired headphones every day, so I use an adapter. I've had the same ones for about 10 years now, so I see no reason to replace them.

Someone needs to invent a headphone cord that directly connects to the USB C port. Is that a thing?

I use bluetooth when I'm out and wired when I'm home

I probably would if I had one. I used it all the time on the last phone I had that did have it.

I used to use mine pretty regularly for some wired IEM's and sometimes connecting it to my PC.

But a couple months ago, I put my phone in a bag of silica gel balls to absorb some water after it got wet.

Cannot recommend this to anyone else though... because those balls actually have roughly the same diameter as the headphone jack and one got completely stuck inside, making the port unusable. :(

I use it every single day. My phone just died, I have a temporary phone with Jack,, but I know my next one won't have one and I'm afraid of that change.

I've tried using an adapter and the quality sucks.
