it’s the olny way i can use headphones right now since I don’t have wireless headphones

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.

Well I do almost daily

My friends workshop has an old stereo in it. We use the Aux cable to play music on that.

Otherwise I usually have a pair of cheap headphones in my bag in case the bluetooth ones run out.

another strong “yes” from me. my wired headset has much better speech quality than bluetooth ones. i didn’t upgrade my phone since the new Pixels dropped the headphone jack, instead i fixed the screen and battery and keep it another couple of years

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

I am using it now as I’m commenting.

Been using it daily for years at this point.

If I had one, I would. I walked my kid to school recently and grabbed some wired ear buds for the walk back. I had to spend the walk back listening to boring nature and shit.

There is really no reason to not have one. It does not significantly increase the cost of the phone. The space saving excuse does not really hold water. If the Zenfone can fit one, then all the other gargantuan phones should be able to.

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

I use mine for listening to audiobooks on an external speaker. Bluetooth speakers often cut off the beginnings of sentences due to the brief silence between them.

I don’t have one. When I did I used it every day.

Now I have a stupid dongle which I use nearly every day.

Everyday

I use earphones to listen to music and take calls hads free quite often.

I recently got a new phone, a Fairphone 5, which doesn’t have a headphone jack, and I’m already missing it.

Listening to music is fine, I just use a USB-C to jack adapter, but I’ve been told people can’t hear me well when I’m doing the same to take a call.

The other day I was in the car with my brother for hours and wanted to put on some music. I couldn’t connect to the car radio via Bluetooth because my brother already was and needed it to take calls and whatnot, so AUX cable here we go. Except apparently my phone does something weird like shutting down the USB port when not in use (reasonable) between songs, creating a noise like when you connect a jack to a powered on speaker, which was super annoying.

So, yes, I use the headphones jack and sorely miss it.

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.
