I’ve never liked or wanted a wire connecting me to my phone. It’s irritating and is a hugely negative stim for me, akin to nails on a chalkboard.

Never, Bluetooth adapter in the car, AirPods otherwise. FUCK cords

Always. Everything besides the cell tower connection happens wired. No Bluetooth or WiFi .

My wife does daily to plug into our car. When she recently got a phone without a jack, I bought her a dongle for charging and audio.

Does she use wired audio daily? Yes. Does her phone have a headphone jack? Well, no.

I have a headphone jack and have never used it

Me, at least once a week

Whenever my fiio runs out of power. About once a week.

All my headphones are wired so daily. I have a dongle for an iPad I use frequently and it works fine but charging it is a drain.

I had to buy an adapter. I much prefer wired earphones, as somebody else commented, it's much easier to switch wired ones between devices. With wireless you also have the issue of disconnecting them if you want audio through the phone speaker. I hate Bluetooth anyway.

I also prefer the earphones which sit just in the ear, rather than the current style of ones that need to be forced inside. I don't think you can get wireless earphones like that, probably because they would be lost easily. I like proper headphones too (so that's an option for wireless), but they are quite bulky so not always convenient.

A few years ago I would have said every day, but I got a really good pair of Bluetooth Bose headphones that have wireless charging so I don't have to worry about anything anymore. After work they get put on a charging pad then in the morning I grab them and they're ready to go.

Every day, I have an app that connects the audio of my pc to my phone through wifi and using bluetooth would just make the whole setup unusable for calls + wifi has better range and audio quality than bluetooth. The whole setup is PC->Ethernet->Router->wifi->Phone for ~30 ms of latency and the app is soundwire.

If I had one, I would use it for somewhere between 2:00 to 8 hours per week. Considering getting the next ZenFone largely because it has one.

When my phone lost the headphone jack, I just stopped listening to music outside of my home.

I honestly prefer walks now.

Routinely with IEMs or over ear headphones as my Sony has a good DAC. If I am having a serious music listening session, I'll use a USB C dongle DAC amp.

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.

Never. Bluetooth headphones and connectivity in the car.

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.

If I still had one I would use it every day. I now use Bluetooth bone conducting headphones so I can hear other things while I listen to The Majority Report while I work.

What's a headphone jack?

JK, I used to use mine a lot, when I had one. I was sad to see it go, but I've moved on. I can use the USB-C port just as easily, if I want to.

I use IEMs and wired headphones. Having a headphone jack would be game changer since I can charge and play music at the same time (I don't want to buy a 2 in 1 dongle).

I basically stopped using wired headphones when Work From Home became a thing. I kept getting up from my desk and wanting to keep my audio going while wandering around and having wireless is perfect for my small house. I would definitely want to go back to wired if I was commuting or out in public daily though.

Fwiw there are some pretty solid portable Bluetooth dacs so you don't have to have your phone port plugged all the time.
