This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Two of my headphones are wired.
They're both usb-c.
This isn't a wired/wireless issue. You can not have a 3.5mm audio jack on your phone and still use wired headphones without an adapter because usb-c headphones exist.
You can talk about quality differences and such, but that isn't the same as wired vs wireless being the only two options.
Most of the time I use Bluetooth headphones, but when I'm in the mood to listen to some good quality music, I switch to wired headphones... Probably a few times per month and only at home.
Everyday
I use it every day so for me is still a big must have. I also use it for 8 hours straight at work
I refused to get a phone without one for quite a long while and finally caved. I haven't used wired headphones in years but I hate that there isn't the option anymore as a default.
Well I do almost daily
I use wired headphones in bed, listening to podcast and whatnot. Easier to just yank out and throw away when falling asleep. I use lightning headphones right now..
I definitely used it when I had it on my previous phone. These days though… bluetooth headphones are good enough for me for calls, podcasts and YouTube. So I just use those.
I don't have a headphone jack.
Even if I had one, I haven't been able to buy wired headphones that aren't crap quality that don't hurt my ears. Last time I bought wired headphones (more accurately earbuds) they were tinny knock off garbage being sold on Amazon as a legitimate product, and that was years ago.
My phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but I use wired headphones every day, so I use an adapter. I've had the same ones for about 10 years now, so I see no reason to replace them.
How do you get headphones to last 10 years? I usually have to replace mine every year or so, because of the padding wilting, or normal wears, or just something happening.
Both the ear piece padding and the cord are easily replaceable. I have replaced the cord… maybe once? The padding I've replaced a few times and is around $30 to do so.
Don't have one and personally I do not care anymore. I probably will never go back to wired on phone.
PC is a different story, I use wired headset there exclusively unless it is work PC and I need mic, then I also use wireless.
I have a pair of hybrid headphones that are both bluetooth and support 3.5mm wired.
I use them wired on my PC and bluetooth everywhere else.
Someone needs to invent a headphone cord that directly connects to the USB C port. Is that a thing?
It is a thing. You can get a usb-c to audio jack adapter.
Lately I've been using my Bluetooth headphones more, because of the noise cancelling. However, I still use my phone's headphone jack about once a week.
On my iPad I almost never use Bluetooth headphones because I mostly only use it for note taking with the Apple Pencil so I take it where I go often and hate having it auto connect/disconnect to my Bluetooth headphones when I'm not even using my iPad. And because Apple the quick toggle to turn off Bluetooth only works until the next day. So I almost exclusively use the jack on my iPad and I'm mad they got away with removing it on the tablets and all the Android OEMs followed through (except Samsung).
I use bluetooth when I'm out and wired when I'm home
I probably would if I had one. I used it all the time on the last phone I had that did have it.
