Daily, I drive an 01 cherokee sport base model. This means I have a tape deck and fuck all else.

It's the only way I listen to music when I'm not in my car or in my house

I had to buy a converter to stick my headphones into to connect to my phone because it didn't have the jack. Which is really annoying because I have really nice headphones and I don't want to sacrifice my sound quality for shitty Bluetooth ones.

I use it all the time. And I would argue that the question should be "what's the intelligence distribution of people using cabled data links over those preferring wireless?" :p

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

I've been using my wire headphones for over 10 years until recently. I've moved to Shockz, it's more convenient but the sound lacks bass.

Yup use it with multiple devices, car and headphones. Bring it bloody back. No intention of buying another overpriced accessory plain and simple

I've used a headphone jack on my phone probably three times in the past two years. It is extremely uncommon for me to use it, and I would actually just prefer it not be there.

I use Bluetooth headphones every day, for most of the day. Despite that, there are times where i forget to charge them the night before, or something else goes wrong, and I use wired headphones.

If I got a phone without a headphone jack, I don't think it'd be much of a problem, until it is. I'd need it, and suddenly realized I don't have it.

I use it less and less. I was still using wired headphones quite often when I got my current phone couple years ago but since then I switched to BT in like 95% of cases. The remaining 5% is mostly travelling. Noise cancelling headphones are too big to carry and small BT headphones don't have enough battery for a long trip. In a couple of years when I'll be changing my phone it will still be be really nice to have mini jack in it but if there's no reasonable option I might do without.

Every day, for msny hours

Currently never, but that's because i dont go out much. If I went out more, even just for jogging. I would be extremely frustrated that my current phone doesn't have a jack. Currently I have to have to so everyone around me can hear my phone as I don't have a converted or a wireless headphone.

I don't.

I'm a bit clumsy (ADHD) and having a cable attached to my body attached to a €1000 device is asking for trouble. I hate the cable getting tangled up, caught on things etc.

Never. Bluetooth headphones and connectivity in the car.

I use it sometimes, but used it regularly for music until I busted out an old iPod.

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.

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.

I bought a phone but the jack was busted and doesn't have two bits connected in DAC. It sounds horrendous. Compressor kind of helps. I use it once per 3 months. Usually when my headphones are on low battery and I forgot to charge them.

On my next phone I will propably get an externall DAC.

P.S Playing patapon over the bluetooth is impossible. The delay is too big. Over the wire there wasn't any problem.

I’ve never liked or wanted a wire connecting me to my phone. It’s irritating and is a hugely negative stim for me, akin to nails on a chalkboard.

When I got my iPhone without a headphone jack, I went out and bought a nice Bluetooth headset. I did use it a lot at the time, but just recently rediscovered it after a couple years lost. It turns out that I prefer speakers for audio/video and only use headphones for calls … for work I prefer wired headphones because they always work, whereas Bluetooth keeps begetting confused whether I am in the office or at home, but that’s not in mobile

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

I use it every time I drive.

Sorry to derail but what do people think of air gap or air tube wired headphones? Do you think they are necessary?

It's also the ariel for my radio so..

Until I got a phone without one, I used it all the time. But now I have fully switched to Bluetooth. The price pot me off a lot, but my tozo A3s are are both cheap enough and good enough that I am happy to have made the switch.

I use it, I have some very nice ear monitors from an old job. I also hate throwaway crap. If I have to I can solder a new cable on. Wireless headphones are extremely difficult to fix.

I had to buy an adapter. I much prefer wired earphones, as somebody else commented, it's much easier to switch wired ones between devices. With wireless you also have the issue of disconnecting them if you want audio through the phone speaker. I hate Bluetooth anyway.

I also prefer the earphones which sit just in the ear, rather than the current style of ones that need to be forced inside. I don't think you can get wireless earphones like that, probably because they would be lost easily. I like proper headphones too (so that's an option for wireless), but they are quite bulky so not always convenient.

A few years ago I would have said every day, but I got a really good pair of Bluetooth Bose headphones that have wireless charging so I don't have to worry about anything anymore. After work they get put on a charging pad then in the morning I grab them and they're ready to go.

My wife does daily to plug into our car. When she recently got a phone without a jack, I bought her a dongle for charging and audio.

Does she use wired audio daily? Yes. Does her phone have a headphone jack? Well, no.
