Technology

Multiple times a week. I make music and connect my phone to the PA to practice or listen to playbacks. It also goes into the e-drums as playback device. If you're using proper audio equipment, the headphone jack is useful for a lot of stuff. I even have a rumble-metronome that connects via headphone jack.

I use headphone jack everyday since I use a iem. I hate using wireless buds.

I do all the time.

Every single day.

My new phone doesn't have a headphone jack. Anyways I currently use my old phone daily because I hate how blue tooth audio is always slightly delayed. Watching videos is such a pain in the ass. Also it's next to impossible to find non earbud Bluetooth headphones making my corded headset a must for listening to anything for extended periods of time. Especially when traveling iny home state where earbuds hold air pressure.

I used to miss it but nowadays not really. AirPods Pro does the job wirelessly and if I ever have to use a cable version for music, I will just use the connector for the time being.

Bluetooth has never improved the user experience of connecting. It's always been super annoying to keep track of connections. Bluetooth is limited to mp3 quality, aka 1/4 the quality of a CD, and that limit will never increase. We can do a little better with fancy codecs, but you'll always be able to tell with good headphones. A headphone jack is still higher quality than any non-headphone jack alternative, and it will always be that way.

I use it by default to listen to podcasts when running or at the gym. I only buy phones with a headphone jack because I feel like wired headphones are a better feature than any flagship phone stuff. Wired headphones are much cheaper, interchangeable, harder to lose, no connection hassles, and best of all I don't need to remember to charge them. The only downside is tangles.

I have a pair of wireless earbuds I got ages ago for about 5x what my wired earbuds cost, when I mistakenly bought a non-jack phone. I don't use them since going back to a jacked phone.

Current model doesn't have one, but I find myself missing it frequently. 3.5mm jack will be a must on my next phone.

My phone doesn't have one and I miss it daily. I ended up getting Bluetooth earpieces because being unable to plug anything else in my phone while listening to music was driving me mad, but then those little shits' batteries only last for a few hours and I still have to be switching things up during the day while they recharge.

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

I have always hated wired earbuds, the cable would tangle up, it would break, it was a mess, I love being wireless.

When I do miss a jack is when you want to connect to a sound system beacause you are somewhere and it could use some atmosphere and they have a 3.5 jack, but you can't use it, it's rare, but in those instance it's annoying to not have it.

I used to use it daily until I broke my last phone with a headphone jack. I switched to a usb-c adapter, but that lasted all of one week before it stopped working. (phone would only recognize it as an unknown device that the phone needed to charge...)

Reluctantly I switched to a free pair of basic wireless headphones and was pleasantly surprised with the convenience and battery life. Used those for 6ish months before buying a nice set from Raycon (mostly because of a promo code from a YouTuber). That added Active Noise Cancelation, Awareness mode (boost surroundings instead of suppressing them), and wireless charging the case. I've been really quite happy with them since.

Now I just keep a usb-c to aux adapter with each stereo/set of speakers that I may plug my phome into. I'd like to find a simple Bluetooth receiver that then outputs to aux.

Use it every single day on my Zenfone. Have bunch of headphones to use with it too.

Every time I need headphones.

Wireless is more hassle than convenience. Bluetooth, especially for audio, is rather shit and having to charge batteries is annoying.

And speaking of batteries, earbuds are yet another bit of trash you are just supposed to throw away when they stop working, because there's nothing you'll be able to do about it.

I actually don't have a headphone jack, which i only realised when i got my new phone. So i had to buy one of those usb-c to jack dongles and i use it daily. (I like to go to sleep listening to some English historian talking in my head, but i also like having my phone strictly in airplane mode in the bedroom, so bluetooth is out of the pot.)

Every night ! I listen to a sleep podcast. I recently changed to a phone without a 3.5mm jack and was kinda scrambling to figure out an alternative. I had a splitter for power and headphones, but it didn't work the way I thought it should: I was used to unplugging the headphones from the phone and that would automatically pause the audio, and plugging in would resume. For some reason (perhaps cheapness) the splitter reported the headphones as present whether or not headphones were actually connected. I ended up getting a BT dongle which has a pause button and I can just take it with when I step away from the phone.

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.

Very often. My wired headset connects to sounds better for calls than my wireless earbuds.

If you play rhythm games you just have to

I use mine to connect to my sound system. Also I don’t use the audio jack most of the time but it feels like an essential backup for when Bluetooth wants to be dumb and glitchy… which is actually not that uncommon now that I think about it.

I use it every time I listen to music.

if my phone had one i would use it everyday, 8 hours a day

still using an LG V30 (24bit 96k dac) with a few varying pairs of IEMs almost daily. going to keep using the V30 until it doesn't work on cell networks anymore. really don't want to have to fuck about with carrying an external dac to use good headphones.

I have an aux port for audio in my car. So everytime I drive I'll use it

I used it a lot.

I had to buy two pair of Bluetooth earbuds for just lasting through my day.

We used to have a box of headsets for users that could grab and use. Now it headache.

As many say it is one thing if it was replaced by something useful but now world so complicated just to sell more things.

I'm using my headphones jack right now! I use it mainly when I am commuting on the train. I don't want to worry about battery life and charging my headphones.

If you live with other family members and watch pornhub on your cellphone even once, trust me, you ARE gonna use the headphone jack.

everyday

I will no longer buy a phone without a headphone jack

I do. Right now I'm listening to music on my phone through wired headphones. I have too many smart things already connected via bluetooth to my phone: 2 different wireless speakers, an electronic drumset, smart TV, car, fitness tracker (I'm sure I'm forgetting something) and I came to like the idea of physically plugging something in order for sound to be played through it, especially if both phone and external device are physically close to me during the whole interaction, like with a headset.

I only use wired headphones. I don't like earbuds, and Bluetooth headphones are too bulky and need charging.

every day pretty much. the only reason why I own Bluetooth is so I can get away with listening to music at work.

I also play a rhythm game on my phone a lot, and theres noticeable delay in audio with Bluetooth compared to wire. calibration fixes it sure, but a good chunk of me is just discontent knowing it simply knowing it exists.

I used it daily when i had one

I bought a USB-C to 3.5" converter so that I can use my headphones. If I had an actual jack, I'd be using it every day.

I used to use it every day until I realized my new phone doesn't have one. Now I still use wired headphones for music when I'm near my computer. I have bluetooth earbuds that work...okay, but I have to deal with one earbud not connecting, or making sure I haven't lost one, or I take one out for a second to hear something and the music just stops, or it just doesn't connect to begin with, or I want to switch between two devices and it would be sooo much easier to just unplug something and plug it back in than to go through settings, unpair/re-pair between two devices, and hope that it actually worked the first time.

I use mine.
