I would but I don't really have any headphones, but I have some I definitely would, it's a cheaper version of airpods

Never ever. It wasn't the reason why I got my current phone, but I thought I would use it at least sometimes. I don't.

When my phone had one, I used it probably every day.

I still miss it. All Bluetooth buds I've used have this stupid quirk in Teams, for example, where a call will interrupt the meeting and even if I immediately hang up, it takes like 2-5 seconds for Teams to switch back to Bluetooth. I never had this issue with an aux jack.

I also had a problem the other day where my Bluetooth buds just would. not. connect. for some stupid reason despite having worked OK for a week prior. On my phone with an aux jack that was never a problem.

For music, I used to use a really nice set of Sennheiser's with my phone, and while I'm no audiophile, I swear using an adapter just isn't the same (even though I know technically it should support the same bandwidth).

Another thing I really miss are phones that came with IR Blasters.

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 stopped using wired headphones before I had a device without a headphone jack.

I found the cord infuriating, always seemed to get caught or tangled on things, always making sensitive skin contact (like just beneath my jawline) where I was forever readjusting it and sometimes the cords lifted the headphone out of my ear.

Conversely, I’ve had three pairs of wireless headphones. First pair didn’t like getting christened in the washing machine, second pair is still going strong and third pair are AirPod Pros I bought before a flight for the noise cancellation which are also going strong. Maybe I’ve outsmarted the whole of Apple’s engineering/marketing department but I’ve never felt like the sets I’ve had are underperforming on battery life and have no reason to buy sets to replace the working ones I have. The small conveniences, like not being tethered to my phone and freedom from cords, have absolutely made the change to wireless worth it to me.

The biggest and most obvious downside against wireless headphones is compatibility and price.

I used mine almost every day. My Lightning>1/8” adapter has a permanent spot in my pocket, inside of a miniature altoids tin to protect it.

But I also work as an audio technician, and use my phone for sound checks. And professional audio gear doesn’t use Bluetooth, for a variety of reasons. So I bet my use case is probably a little skewed.

A couple times a week. Not dilligent about charging my headset makes the wired option really nice

I have to admit, I also almost never use wired headphones nowadays. When the trend of removing the jack from phones picked up pace, I absolutely hated the idea of a lack of options. But I have to admit, the convenience of no wires, outclassed the nuisance of charging my bluetooth headphones once a week, eventually. Still out of principle, I don't buy headphones from the phone brand im currently using. There are too many good third party brands out there to consider first.

My only wired headphones are for gaming (not on my phone), and I'm planning to replace those soon with something wireless as I'm tired of getting tangled up getting in and out of my desk.

Wireless headphones are great. Not perfect, but neither are wired.

literally every day while I work so I can listen to music

I keep losing my usb c to headphone jack, but I usually use it a couple times a week when its not lost. I have airpods, but I'm on android so I lost the charger for it, and nearly lost the airpods many times.

I almost exclusively use wired headphones. Only time I use the Bluetooth is when going the gym.

I don't feel like the cable is inconvenient at all. But there are advantages in the two things I care. Better audio quality and no battery to worry about. So I prefer the wired one and use my headphone jack almost daily.

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.

I used to use it a lot. I still have some nice headphones that I like using, but they have become 2nd choice. I have bone conducting headphones that I use daily.

I prefer them, because I can still communicate, ride the bike, and never have to pause the music. But if I have to do anything loud, the wired buds are coming out to plug the ear holes.

Every day at work when I listen to music.

My current phone doesn't have a headphone jack; I bought adapters since I use only wired headphones.

I always use mine, the audio delay that bluetooth headphones have make them almost useless for me. I'm also not a fan of the fact that they either make loud noises or have some form of a voice to tell you when it's either connected to a device or got a low battery.

I use my daily and purchased my phone primarily based on the fact it had a 3.5 jack. I am a long time DJ so my headphones are very comfortable and natural for me.

Last phone I had a jack for was iPhone 5, would use it all the time for music and podcasts, would much prefer having a jack now instead of Bluetooth

The $15 USB adapters is kind of annoying, but I think I really only am really peeved about it is when I am flying and can't charge my phone and listen to music at the same time. For me I think there are a few factors that have made my headphone jack less necessary.

1. Covid and WFH. I used to listen to music on my commutes and in the office from my phone on wired cans. Now I WFH and have speakers or have headphones running from my PC's DAC.
2. Streaming Speakers/Receivers that are wifi enabled. I no longer have to worry about using AUX inputs on my speakers, since I have wifi enabled devices that allow me to "cast" music to any device in my home from my phone instead of plugging it in or using a weak bluetooth connection.
3. Android Auto or other car/phone USB/bluetooth integrations. No longer need to use Aux in cables to a car to listen to music.

Well I used to all the time, that's for sure. Plus I actually have nice headphones now, that I can't use with my phone because for some reason on every single phone I've ever owned the USB port eventually stops working for audio adapters, and I don't know why.

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!

I use it. When I changed my smartphone and my tablet I searched for models with headphones jack. I have a pair of wireles headphones but the sound they produce is terrible, and besides they need to be recharged, so you can find yourself with no battery on them on the middle of a commute, trip or whatever place. I have two pair of JBL cable headphones that costed 10 euros each (way cheaper than the wireless), sound is perfect, never run out of "battery".... Why would I prefer more expensive ones with poor sound quality and ones that I don't know if they are going to be able to be in use for the time I need them???

If I'm in the mood for better sound quality I do. Bluetooth has noticably poorer quality on anything but the worst equipment.

I also use the headphone jack when I don't want to deal with the inexplicably still not addressed after decades terrible Bluetooth connectivity issues.

My current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but if it did I would every day. Still use wired every day on laptop and pc.

Yup, I use it regularly.

The kitchen disco requires really good headphones. You don't get ear covering sound without a jack.

My phone doesn't have a headphone jack. Despite this, I used a pair of shitty wired IEMs every day when I walk my dog. I don't really think bluetooth is all that bad, it works for me most of the time, except on my oldass car which I bought one of those bluetooth to radio short throw transmitters that plugs in the ciggy lighter and it gets really staticky when it rains, but my car's speaker system wasn't doing wonders anyways so I don't think it matters that much.

No, I don't have a problem with bluetooth, but I still think it's probably worse for most every application I could think of, compared to an aux jack. The amount of time I save by having my phone automatically connect to my car compared to plugging in my phone is basically nothing. Takes about 3 seconds for my phone to connect, takes about 3 seconds for my phone to get plugged in. Same with regular headphones. About the only thing I can maybe think of is a wireless speaker, but I tend not to use those very often and you could probably do that over wifi in most applications. That, and the cost of bluetooth is just always gonna be higher than an aux jack, or a wire. Shut up about DACs, too, I don't care. A cost of like 4 bucks for a usb-c to aux cable is going to perform about the same as your pretentious 500 dollar usb-c to usb to usb powered DAC to aux port chain you have going on because of "noise". That's insane. It's insane to carry that shit around in your pocket all day.

Headphones, you're paying more for worse quality, basically every time, and this will hold true for every device. Plus there's always the fuggin batteries and the little stupid case, and I'm not paying more for a new pair of shittier headphones when in 3 years my bluetooth headphones can't hold a charge because the manufacturer didn't program anything for a trickle charge to preserve battery life.

I dunno, this makes me mad, phones not being 16:9 makes me mad, phones not fitting in my dainty little hands makes me mad.

Definitely at least once a week, though usually more than that.

Regularly. I refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack.

I use wired headphones easily 80% of the time I use any electronic device capable of sound, and >99% of the time I'm actually listening to that sound. I would sooner take a phone without speakers than without a dedicated 3.5mm jack. (I could be convinced with two USB-C ports though)

I don't need more weight on my ears, another thing that can die, either buds that can be lost or an all-in-one that can't survive my pocket, and I definitely don't need another drain on my phone's battery. I'm not against Bluetooth headphones in general (I do use an over-ear set occasionally), but they will never be my go-to.

A proper poll on use time/duty cycle would be interesting.

I regularly use wireless earbuds, which are extremely convenient, but I am not looking forward to the day when the battery is insufficient for me and I can't replace it due to "innovation". I also miss out on having splitters so that 2 people can listen to the same audio. I know Bluetooth LE is supposed to fix that, but I don't even know what devices support that. Like others said, having the choice is important, but Apple's "bravery" and market domination removed that from us...

I do on a regular basis using the mobile from work. I use wired headset for 90% of the cals I make on this phone.

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 do.

I don't use it every day because I'm at my PC a lot on a normal day, and I use wired headphones plugged in to that instead. I do use it often when traveling, both for IEM-style earbuds that block most external noise, and to plug into rental cars, family members' cars, etc... with an aux cable. Yes, Bluetooth is an option on most newer cars, but it's slower to set up than a cable, and not all the cars I end up driving are newer.

It is not my primary method of audio use, I use bluetooth earbuds/headphones in a workshop environment for that so I don't get the cables caught on machinery or materials but I use it when traveling or listening to music at home because the sound quality is better and there is only one device to keep track of or charged. Its not an everyday thing but still a requirement for me.

Using a Samsung Galaxy A10e over here, currently listening to music over wired earphones typing this

Still use them. I don't buy phones without them. And I don't prefer wireless so..

I'm one of those who miss the headphone jack on mine. Half the time I can't get my wireless earbuds to work right (and I didn't completely cheap out on them), and I had to buy an expensive Bluetooth radio thing to connect it to my car radio because my car is too old to have that built in. An aux cord through the jack on my old phone worked just fine, even better, than that stupid thing.

Never, Bluetooth adapter in the car, AirPods otherwise. FUCK cords

as a backup. like when on a plane and my wireless ones die. or to plug into stereo aux

Bluetooth earbuds are everything younger me dreamed of when dealing with when taking a tangled wire mess out of my pocket.
