As replied under another comment :

I’ll be honest… I bought a Poco F4 because the value for money it offered was amazing. Plus, I could unlock the bootloader and shift to a custom ROM whenever I wanted (literally as soon as I could lol. Hate MiUI).

This phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, but I was willing to make the jump since my general use of headphones is not as much as earphones. My ears get sweaty or scratchy after more than an hour straight of earphones, and around the same for headphones.

As a result, my overall usage is limited. So, when I got my TWS (paid ₹2000 for an okay pair, no dual device pairing, okayish build quality for the case and an okayish connection. Sound was good tho.)

My situation meant I didn’t really use them as much, although they go for almost 4hrs straight. And if I put them in the case, they go for weeks without needing a charge (case has a built-in battery of 1200mAh). So, whenever I think I need the case to charge I just set it up overnight. The only sad part is it doesn’t have dual device pairing. I use my laptop and phone together and I’d kill for this feature, but my budget is thin atm.

I know it’s not everybody’s case, but this is my case. And while I miss the jack, I don’t notice the lack of it. Audio quality is good enough for me. The wires were honestly the worst part of my wired experience anyway.

I don’t. It’s nice not to have to have a wire wrapped around me, being able to walk freely around without worrying about it possibly getting snagged or needing to have my phone on me just to have headphones on. The shortcomings of Bluetooth have all been largely solved for every use case other than music production. Even for gaming I use a pair of headphones with a proprietary dongle that has no perceptible latency, and they last over a month.

3 times a week for about 2 hours each.

Well I do almost daily

I do but it’s certain circumstances where it make sense (on aircraft or when I’ve got a good pair of wired earbuds/headphones on me). Sometimes I use Bluetooth, sometimes wired but I appreciate having a CHOICE!

The point of the headphone jack is that it IS THERE when you need it.

How many of you use your fire extinguisher regularly?

I’m definitely going to be an outlier here, but I still use an ipod nano for my day to day podcast listening while commuting. But sometimes if love to be able to just unplug my earpods from my nano and plug it into my phone to watch a video or something. Can’t do that now unless I dig into my bag for a dongle.

I use mine everyday.

When I had one? Frequently. Especially when I traveled. My wireless earbuds would die but I had a pair of plug in earbuds I always brought as well. With my new phone, I don’t have that option, so when my wireless ones die, I’ll just sit there twiddling my thumbs.

A couple times a week. Tried going without, but missed it too much. Now a headphone jack is a key requirement. Bluetooth headphone mics in particular are rubbish compared to a basic wired option.

I am using it now as I’m commenting.

Been using it daily for years at this point.

Every time i use headphones

ever since I got a new phone with a headphone jack, been wanting to get a usb c to headphone jack adaptor, still dont have any headphones I can use with my phone

Me. I own both wired and wireless earphones and I want to be able to use both.

Every day.

While I’m walking/commuting, I have my headphones in and am listening to something, be it music, podcasts, or audiobooks. Even on days I don’t have anywhere to go I’ll go on a walk for about an hour and will be listening to something the whole time. I’d buy a phone without a camera before I bought one without a headphone jack.
