I am once again telling you to use an adapter or external dac.
Not as someone who only uses bt headphones, but as someone who owns more sets of wired headphones than almost everyone itt.
Stop relying on a dac included as an afterthought. Stop relying on a port that was never designed for pocket use and routinely tears the end off your $300 senhausers.
With the jack-to-lighning adapter that came with my iPhone I can easily use my wired headphones those 2 times of the year. The rest of the time, my phone is a tiny bit smaller that it otherwise would be.
It's preferred, but not a requirement. There are plenty of cheap usb-c to 3.5 headphone jack adapters available. My current phone has a headphone jack though.
I much prefer wireless headphones, because I keep breaking every plug. I even tried soldering them, but that ended in a catastrophe lol. That being said, I recently lost my wireless pair and had to pick my old K450. Now I'm grateful that I picked a phone with a headphone jack. I wasn't even checking if it has one while buying.
Yes, I would reconsider buying a phone that didn't have one. That said, I use a bluetooth speaker or bluetooth headphones.
As someone who currently uses headphones throughout pretty much all his free time, yes I use wired whenever possible and my current phone was one I got because of the headphone jack. Last thing I want is to have to stop listening to whatever I'm listening to all because my bluetooth headphones need a charge.
Currently I'm stuck with a pair of shitty dollar store headphones, but they are so much better than the wireless ones I have because of just how long I can enjoy music, videos, etcetera, without needing to worry when my headphone battery needs charged. A headphone jack is extremely important to me.
I use it, all the time.
Phones that lack a headphone jack or a microSD slot are worthless to me.
I use BT only.
Yes
I would if I had one.
I can't stand Bluetooth headphones, the delay is unbearable. It's gotta be wired or 2.4ghz for me.
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
I won't buy a phone without it. Currently on a Pixel 5a 5g
My phone has a headphone jack and dual SIM cards but I would totally trade the jack for an SD Card slot.
I use it daily, including right now.
Eh, don't care. If it has it nice enough but I have two great pairs of BT headphones and a USB-C pair.
You ask three different questions here but expect only one response.
I haven’t missed having a headphone Jack on my phone for at least 10 years. I’m perfectly happy with the performance of my AirPods and other Bluetooth headphones when I’m on the go.
Fidelity on the go isn’t a concern for me as long as it’s ‘good enough’. All the ambient issues makes high fidelity pointless imo when I’m anywhere but home, where I’ve got my real audio setup.
Have only bought phones that have a headphone jack. Never ones that dont.
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.
