Alternatively, if your current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

I won't buy a phone without it. Currently on a Pixel 5a 5g

I want it and use it and therefore got a S10+ just bc it's Samsung last flagship that featured it. What's even more annoying, that my 10" tablet hasn't got one there is absolutely no shortage in space on that device why you had to drop it.

I mean, why in the world with someone at all concerned about security want a way to listen to their phone without the chance of someone listening in because of bluetooth?

My phone (Pixel 6) doesn't have one but I wish it did. I still use an aux cord to listen in my car or to plug into my amplifier when I practice on headphones, so I have to use 3.5mm to USB-C converter dongles. I also can't charge my phone while using an aux cable now which is annoying.

I missed it until I got AirPods. Now I got the pro ones and they’re amazing. I also use BT receivers if I want to plug to a stereo system or something like that.

[–] EthicalDogMeat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I have it but I have never used it. I've been using my Galaxy note 9 user since December 2018. I have active noice cancelling headphones for most scenarios and true wireless earphones for gym.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

It would be nice if it did, but my newer Bluetooth headphones are a joy, so it doesn't matter most of the time.

[–] hakobo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't care about the headphone jack. Bluetooth earbuds are super convenient, and when I want higher quality I plug in a Fiio BTR5 to the USB-C port and use that to power good headphones. Way better than a built in dac/amp would be.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I use it daily, including right now.

[–] cloaker@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Eh, don't care. If it has it nice enough but I have two great pairs of BT headphones and a USB-C pair.

[–] fratermus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

I use BT only.

It's pretty rare that I use wired headphones, I prefer them wireless.

I'm told that wired headphones have higher range audio support, but it's not like the music I stream from Spotify would support that anyways...

No, I really enjoy my shokz bone conduction headphones for general work calls, audiobooks, chores, running, etc. It's like I simply have the audio in my head.

They are Bluetooth and last all day, sometimes multiple if I'm not in meetings all day. They are waterproof, I can even swim with them.

Honestly running got me away from wired headphones the most

[–] maniel@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Used it once to debug an audio problem, haven't used wired headphones since years

[–] ODuffer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I used to be quite hardline on this, however now I use a portable DAP (Hiby R5 Gen 2) for my music. It has a class A amplifier, balanced output, a Terabyte of storage, and streams Qubuz Hi-Res. So I don't use my phone now.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 1 year ago

Mine has one but even though I don't use it, it's good to have it for emergency situations when your bluetooth headphones are out of battery.
