Alternatively, if your current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

I thought I did and was so against manufacturers removong them. Until I got Airpods. So much better. Perfect ear fit like no other. No cable mess. Instant auto connect between devices. I can ping them. And they’ve held up longer than any cable headphones as well, whose cables always break. And they get tangled. I’ve had the Airpods for three years now and they still hold battery for a full day use for me. Charging them fully takes like 15 minutes.

I’m sure there are similarly good headphones for other brands, this is just my own experience with Airpods.

In case I must have a cable for some reason I can plug in a tiny 3,5mm adapter through the charging port. So that’s not a problem either.

Also the phone has better water and dust resistance with one port less.

I guarantee the comments on this thread are hilarious biased to the point of being echos of echos in this chamber.

The relationship I have work my phone is that I don't necessarily have a phone that I can use as a music player, as much as I have a music player/internet device that I can call with.

I have an adapter that splits so I can charge my phone while I talk on a headset while working. Does that count?

Rarely. I do have a pair of Buds Live tho

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.

I'm blessed to be the kind of pleb who is happy with built in DACs and $9 Panasonic earbuds. Headphone jack for life!

No.

I stopped using wired headsets loooong before they started taking them off...my HP iPaq had Bluetooth and my iPod didn't--that's when I bought my first Bluetooth headset.

[–] rockandsock@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I really want the feature, I'll keep buying phones with headphone jacks as long a s I can.
