I don't even want one. I was initially mad that big comoanies have such power to decide what I want for me. People always say "let the market decide" but the decisions really do come from the top and are often cynical as fuck. But no, I don't really want one.

Definitely prefer a phone with a proper jack over one without. I know there's adapters, but that's taking up the only available slot, and I don't appreciate that at all.

I've been using my Bluetooth buds for a couple of moths now, and while loving them, I don't want to be limited to only Bluetooth for my audio, be for unfortunate cases when the buds don't work, or for something as simple as having a great wired pair at hand.

I require a headphone jack because I require FM radio. I will die on this hill.

I use it, all the time.

Phones that lack a headphone jack or a microSD slot are worthless to me.

I simply cannot imagine buying a phone without a headphone jack. I want as few things as possible that I need to keep the battery life of into account in my day to day life. Phones and laptops at least have display symbols for the battery life by default, I have never seen anyone in my country using cordless headphones that had some sort of indicator for how much battery charge remains in them. If some are sold in the first world then they would be out of my expense, and if there are apps available that would solve my gripe I have not encountered them. I do own a pair of my own, but I only use it in very niche circumstances for which I will have known to have charged it right beforehand, and I am lending them to family/friends more often than I am using them.

Even supposing that the battery thing wasn't an issue, the other hassles involved with going cordless (I've had to help people find them one they fall out of their ears way too many times for one lifetime) forbid me from ever even thinking about buying a phone without a headphone jack.

My wired earbuds were top of the line Japanese imports with custom cables and a nice USB-C DAC as well. Sounds like sex feels.

No way I'll give up my headphone jack... Even though I kinda had to. I made a better one!

Yes. Wireless never works. Bluetooth is proprietary bs

I hate Bluetooth and refuse to use it whenever possible.

One plus nord CE 2 lite, 250 bucks, headphone jack And memory card.

My fold 4 doesn't have one, and it's a huge pain in the ass, since literally every other device I have has one. Even my 2021 car has one.

On a plane? Forgot my dongle at home. In a friend's car? It doesn't work, all they have is 3.5mm and then a lightning cord. Can't even use it at home with my noise cancelling or opened backed headphones.

It's the most annoying part of this device. It came bundled with the bad Samsung bluetooth earbuds, which helpfully developed a click in one of the earbuds less than one year into ownership. They retail for about $300, laughably.

Heck yeah, rocking the Sony Xperia with the headphone jack as a big selling point for me, alongside the lack of notch etc. I use it most days with my Apple ear buds coupled with wavelet auto eq. Genuinely sound great and subtle enough to feel comfortable with them in public. I have a pair of wh1000-xm3s In my bag but I go for them far less often.

I want technology that's as uncomplicated as possible for accomplishing the task, so yes. Wired is better than wireless for anything meant to only work in proximity to something else.

No, but I do use a VPN which that site doesn't allow.

I'd rather ditch the phone entirely than switch to one without a headphone jack. Too long to explain, but I have a thing against wireless, a thing against corporations making decisions for me, and a thing against phones in general.

My car doesn't have Bluetooth but does have an aux jack. I use my headphone jack on my phone every day I drive

I've managed to avoid giving up the headphone jack, using a Pixel 5a right now. Although when I eventually have to get my next phone I have a feeling there might not be many choices left with the headphone jack.

Yes yes two thousand times yes, Why would I have to worry about charging one more device if a cable can deliver ten times the quality at the same price?

I finally tried a little Bluetooth amp and found my wired earphones sound better than they ever did plugged into the phone directly. Couldn't hear an improvement when plugging into the usb port and using as a usb DAC. So i guess the high quality ldac codec must be kinda good.

Would still prefer the 3.5mm option of course - much more useful for aux out.

My current phone has headphone jack and it is something that wikl weigh in on the future choice of another phone.

Wireless headphones are not a convinience for me.

Nice try, Samsung

I have too many pairs of headphones and have been buying more wired ones rather than Bluetooth as they just don't last as long (they are convenient, I'll admit).

The 3.5mm Jack is just so handy to have ratger than a dongle (SD card for storing all the music helps too).

I use headphones every night to listen to audiobooks or YouTube videos until I fall asleep.

I greatly prefer it. Basically all high quality headphones are wired only... and even an equivalent wireless headphone is more expensive and more stuff to carry (gotta carry those charging cases with them). Just give me my damn port.

I'd like one, sure.

It's not a deal breaker either way. I have a USB dongle with a headphone jack so it's not a big deal.

I absolutely want wired headphones, though. One less set of batteries to worry about, especially when traveling internationally.

No, i hate cables and if i really Need cable aux i have an usb-c to aux adpter.

I've used it a lot especially when console gaming and using my phone for Discord chat. So even tho I use BT earphones more often, it's useful to have.

USB dongles are unacceptable because I use magnetic cables, and USB ports are notoriously prone to breaking, making the whole phone useless.

Gimme a phone with 2 USB ports and I won't care about a headphone jack that much.

I would if I had one.

Have one, use it all the time.

I would prefer they did, but it isn't the most important thing about my phone. My current phone does not, and I really like it.

iPod Shuffle had only one jack - a combination headphone/charging/syncing jack. If you're only going to have one jack, why not that one?
