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 still listen to radio on my phone. Wired headphones are required, as they serve as the antenna.

Other than that, I do a lot of running. Given how often it rains, headphones last no longer than half a year, and wired ones are far cheaper to replace. (I do have a pair of wireless Shockz, which handle water very well, but they are not good for city running with high ambient noise.)

The kitchen disco requires really good headphones. You don't get ear covering sound without a jack.

I don't use wired headphones with my phone anymore since it doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, but I miss that i cannot plug my headphone quickly in a laptop's 3.5mm jack quickly.

I like that binary nature of cables. When physically connected they work. No fiddling with Bluetooth menus.

I prefer having a dedicated headphone jack, I dislike wireless devices, heck, my mouse is wired. But my new Android removed it sadly.

The main reason why I'm okay with not having it is because there's no decent wired headphones, all are either for children or incredibly cheaply-made.

I use it multiple times a week.

even if I didnt, I still want to have it for when I would have chance/need to use it.

I much prefer wired headphones, for lots of reasons. My last phone had a 3.5mm jack and I used it daily. My current phone doesn't have one, so I use a USB-C/3.5mm jack converter dongle daily instead. I'll probably buy USB-C headphones next time I'm in the market for them, I guess.

Don't have headphone jack but need to use the USB C converter to use audio in my car.

Daily

About once every other week on my phone, multiple times a week on my ipad (pro 10.5). It's more that I have a Bluetooth dac for some 30ohm headphones I regularly use, as my phone had more difficulty driving it at usable volume without going all the way up and getting the "you're hurting your ears!" warning.

Definitely wired for more serious listening and important calls.

I see a lot of people talking about latency - I am generally very sensitive to this, but I think Apple gets the delay down pretty low with AirPods.

I have another complaint, though: the Bluetooth spec doesn't allow for enough bandwidth to simultaneously send and receive audio at proper bitrates, so any time you are doing both, it dramatically reduces the quality of both. This means if you are using Bluetooth for anything better than PSTN calls, you sound like shit.

Also, the microphones in AirPods make this so much worse by emphasizing sounds of anything you are doing - if you wash dishes or crumple a bag or basically anything, even if it seems relatively quiet for you, there is a good chance it will be loud as fuck for the other person.

I made the switch to full Bluetooth a few years back.

Honestly don’t ever miss the headphone jack nowadays, but I’ll admit that making the initial jump was a bit of a hassle.

I use it. I also use bluetooth headphones but wired headphones are more reliable. No connection problems. And I haven't tried bluetooth headphones with microphone so I don't know if they're any good. I need the microphone for phone calls.

Every day. Aux in on my car, wired headphones, aux in on old stereo. I could replace it all with bluetooth but it isn't broken and I can still use bluetooth on other devices. I like choice and I hate waste and conspicuous consumption. Rechargeable wireless devices with limited battery life that can't be serviced or repaired is peak consumption/pollution bullshit. The headphone jack may wear out before my phone's usb, battery or something else but that hasn't been my experience historically.

I run a small dance association. When I go to a club and want to play some music through the speakers in that club, I need to plug my phone in to their system. Usually there's no bluetooth option. That's why I need the headphobe jack

I'm definitely going to be an outlier here, but I still use an ipod nano for my day to day podcast listening while commuting. But sometimes if love to be able to just unplug my earpods from my nano and plug it into my phone to watch a video or something. Can't do that now unless I dig into my bag for a dongle.

My current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but if it did I would every day. Still use wired every day on laptop and pc.

I used mine almost every day. My Lightning>1/8” adapter has a permanent spot in my pocket, inside of a miniature altoids tin to protect it.

But I also work as an audio technician, and use my phone for sound checks. And professional audio gear doesn’t use Bluetooth, for a variety of reasons. So I bet my use case is probably a little skewed.

Every day. Removing them is ridiculous and pointless.

I prefer wired for almost all cases. The reasons are threefold:

1. It seems like the only Bluetooth headphones being sold lately are either tiny individual ear buds that are easy to lose or big bulky over-the-ear headphones. Right now, my preferred wireless ear buds are connected by wires to an around-the-neck device, and I'm worried I won't be able to replace them easily when they finish falling apart.

2. Wireless ear buds are one more thing I have to charge. I already have to charge my phone, watch, game accessories, and vape. I don't need one more battery to manage.

3. Latency makes it obnoxious to watch video with wireless audio.

Right now, the only use case for my wireless ear buds is when I'm walking the dog and don't want to worry about the wire bouncing around and getting caught on my clothes when I've already got the leash in one hand. The only reason I use Bluetooth in my car is because my old car had annoying feedback when I listened on the aux cable while the phone was charging. I'm considering trying aux again in the new car because the latency on the car's Bluetooth is even worse and I've found myself watching videos in my parked car while on break from work.

I use mine.

Me. Sorry not much to add. I just like it.

Well I used to all the time, that's for sure. Plus I actually have nice headphones now, that I can't use with my phone because for some reason on every single phone I've ever owned the USB port eventually stops working for audio adapters, and I don't know why.

A couple times a week. Not dilligent about charging my headset makes the wired option really nice

Every day at work when I listen to music.

My current phone doesn't have a headphone jack; I bought adapters since I use only wired headphones.

literally every day while I work so I can listen to music

Daily!

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.

Twice a year when I'm on a plane and have to use my other headphones because they're more noise cancelling. Other than that, never. I hate having a cord and getting it stuck on things and ripping my headphones out of my ears.

Anyone else find it annoying to have to constantly charge your earbuds. I've been so used to just plugging my headphones in and forgetting them. I'm tired of constant "low battery" because I forgot to charge them last night.

I used to use it a lot. I still have some nice headphones that I like using, but they have become 2nd choice. I have bone conducting headphones that I use daily.

I prefer them, because I can still communicate, ride the bike, and never have to pause the music. But if I have to do anything loud, the wired buds are coming out to plug the ear holes.

I do.

I don't use it every day because I'm at my PC a lot on a normal day, and I use wired headphones plugged in to that instead. I do use it often when traveling, both for IEM-style earbuds that block most external noise, and to plug into rental cars, family members' cars, etc... with an aux cable. Yes, Bluetooth is an option on most newer cars, but it's slower to set up than a cable, and not all the cars I end up driving are newer.

I would if I had one. I did buy a USB-C to 3.5mm cable anyway. So many audio applications are basically unusable with the latency you get with Bluetooth headphones.

I would but I don't really have any headphones, but I have some I definitely would, it's a cheaper version of airpods

I use my daily and purchased my phone primarily based on the fact it had a 3.5 jack. I am a long time DJ so my headphones are very comfortable and natural for me.

Yesterday played music via aux cable and I also use my phone as a mic while gaming and need the jack for that aswell.

I did until it was taken away from me. I would still use them regularly. I still out my phone in my pocket upside down on habit.

I fucking hate wireless headphones. I miss my wired headphones.
