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'm one of those who miss the headphone jack on mine. Half the time I can't get my wireless earbuds to work right (and I didn't completely cheap out on them), and I had to buy an expensive Bluetooth radio thing to connect it to my car radio because my car is too old to have that built in. An aux cord through the jack on my old phone worked just fine, even better, than that stupid thing.

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 do on a regular basis using the mobile from work. I use wired headset for 90% of the cals I make on this phone.

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'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.

I don't like having to use headphones I have to keep charged.

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

Every day at work when I listen to music.

daily when I drive to connect to AUX in car. Not connecting via bluetooth, read up on vehicle data collection.

there are usb-c to aux adaptors available for cheap

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.

A lot

Daily.

Driving to and from work it plugs into my car and at work it plugs into my headset.

I almost exclusively use wired headphones. Only time I use the Bluetooth is when going the gym.

I don't feel like the cable is inconvenient at all. But there are advantages in the two things I care. Better audio quality and no battery to worry about. So I prefer the wired one and use my headphone jack almost daily.

I keep losing my usb c to headphone jack, but I usually use it a couple times a week when its not lost. I have airpods, but I'm on android so I lost the charger for it, and nearly lost the airpods many times.

I do, but rarely. Maybe every other month or so. The situations I do use it, I've been thankful that I avoided phones without a jack. I like having appropriate tools at my disposal, and bluetooth will never be universally applicable.

I use mine everyday, and i was one of the first to adapt to wireless headphones when they was just Chinese exotic headphones (before apple and Samsung wireless headphones even existed) and i spotted few cons of using them before they even got popular, main problem of using them is battery and secondary is latency when you pause resume video alot, there are also alot more like signal interference in places with lot of WiFi hotspots so i returned to using wired headphones around time when first apple tws was presented, i use modular wired headphones so i can change wires if they break and always have some spare, also modular headphones can be connected to Bluetooth modules making them effectively tws and when their battery goes bad then you'll just change Bluetooth module and that's it

I only bought wireless headphones because the Galaxy Note 10 didn't have an aux, and required their own overpriced adapter to connect through USB-C. I bike a lot while listening to music and hate when the headphones run out of battery halfway through my ride.

I don't use earbuds much with it but whenever I do its with the headphone jack. Do you use earbuds any other way or is it just you don't use them often?

If you own a pre bluetooth-audio vehicle and you commute, then you need an aux port. Even early BT vehicles had iffy connection issues that are immediately solved by just plugging in.

Roadtripping and someone else wants to play a quick song? You can go into the touchscreen settings and go through linking the phone to the vehicles bluetooth and selecting that device, or you can just pass the cord.

I have to admit, I also almost never use wired headphones nowadays. When the trend of removing the jack from phones picked up pace, I absolutely hated the idea of a lack of options. But I have to admit, the convenience of no wires, outclassed the nuisance of charging my bluetooth headphones once a week, eventually. Still out of principle, I don't buy headphones from the phone brand im currently using. There are too many good third party brands out there to consider first.

Wish I still had one. I use wired headphones on my iPhone daily.

Every Monday when I game with a buddy online.

There's probably a lot of selection bias going on right now, but I feel compelled to say "I won't buy a phone without a jack".

The convenience of not having to charge headphones is great. I use them so infrequently that when I pull them out on a trip, I don't want to go "ah shit, forgot to charge them". But on long trips, bluetooth kills my battery so jack is the only way to go for me.

If I'm in the mood for better sound quality I do. Bluetooth has noticably poorer quality on anything but the worst equipment.

I also use the headphone jack when I don't want to deal with the inexplicably still not addressed after decades terrible Bluetooth connectivity issues.

Every single day, maybe a few times a year I don't use it. Though because I have an iphone, my headphone jack is on an adapter. But still, I know for certain it's not something I can ever give up at this point, have tried the Bluetooth thing.

I do. While I don't end up using headphones terribly often, I still prefer wired ones when I do. I would lose bluetooth earbuds in a heartbeat, and it wouldn't be worth the expense to replace them.

I use it regularly on steam deck, but not phone

Occasionally. If I'm at my desk and I get a call, I'll move my wired headset over from my PC to my phone.

I use it daily for connecting it to my car stereo, and about once a month when I mow my lawn or have to fly on a plane. I'll never buy a phone without one.

I prefer wired headphones. I don't want to worry about keeping them charged, and the few pairs of wireless headphones I have tried died or had the buttons stop working after a few uses from getting waterlogged with sweat, while I've been using the same pair of $6 wired headphones for 10 years without issues.

I don't care for Bluetooth or USB audio connections as they don't always work intuitively, they might take multiple button presses to set up, and every manufacturer seems to think they need to be set up in a slightly different way, while the auxiliary audio cable just works with no setup.

Weekly. And I've got bluetooth drivers on daily too. Drop the 3.5mm and you drop my purchase!

I have my headphones in literally right now. I use my phone as my primary media system, so video sources like YouTube and Nebula and audio like music and podcasts. I listen with wired headphones for any time I am not physically very involved as they are higher quality and provide a much more enjoyable listening experience, but I will switch to Bluetooth headphones when being more physically active.

That said, I am a very high consumer of audio. I currently have 129 podcasts I am subscribed to (some no longer run, but most are weekly to monthly), along with a whole lot of audiobooks. I am currently at well over 2200 hours played in my podcast app this year and that excludes all the audiobooks and videos.

A couple times a week. Tried going without, but missed it too much. Now a headphone jack is a key requirement. Bluetooth headphone mics in particular are rubbish compared to a basic wired option.

Every single day since I bought it. My last phone too.

Only a little. I use Bluetooth earbuds most of the time. I have an older work vehicle without Bluetooth though, so I still have to use the aux cord on some drives.

Before I updated my car I used the headphone jack regularly for playing music there. Otherwise it was relegated to a couple situations a year like air travel.

Now that I've got a newer vehicle I just have all my music on USB there.

All day, everyday! Headphone port and 500GB (minimum) removable microSD are mandatory for me.

I use wired headphones daily thru a USB c adapter

I bought wireless headphones about 4 years ago and haven't used wired since. Even when playing through speakers, in my car, and all that I just use Bluetooth.

I use it a few times a year at most. I only use Bluetooth headphones, and have android auto in the car. Every now and then I need to plug my phone into a stero or something.

One of my old phones is my dedicated stereo phone at home, it's permanently plugged into the aux of my receiver.

My phone doesn't have a headphone jack. Despite this, I used a pair of shitty wired IEMs every day when I walk my dog. I don't really think bluetooth is all that bad, it works for me most of the time, except on my oldass car which I bought one of those bluetooth to radio short throw transmitters that plugs in the ciggy lighter and it gets really staticky when it rains, but my car's speaker system wasn't doing wonders anyways so I don't think it matters that much.

No, I don't have a problem with bluetooth, but I still think it's probably worse for most every application I could think of, compared to an aux jack. The amount of time I save by having my phone automatically connect to my car compared to plugging in my phone is basically nothing. Takes about 3 seconds for my phone to connect, takes about 3 seconds for my phone to get plugged in. Same with regular headphones. About the only thing I can maybe think of is a wireless speaker, but I tend not to use those very often and you could probably do that over wifi in most applications. That, and the cost of bluetooth is just always gonna be higher than an aux jack, or a wire. Shut up about DACs, too, I don't care. A cost of like 4 bucks for a usb-c to aux cable is going to perform about the same as your pretentious 500 dollar usb-c to usb to usb powered DAC to aux port chain you have going on because of "noise". That's insane. It's insane to carry that shit around in your pocket all day.

Headphones, you're paying more for worse quality, basically every time, and this will hold true for every device. Plus there's always the fuggin batteries and the little stupid case, and I'm not paying more for a new pair of shittier headphones when in 3 years my bluetooth headphones can't hold a charge because the manufacturer didn't program anything for a trickle charge to preserve battery life.

I dunno, this makes me mad, phones not being 16:9 makes me mad, phones not fitting in my dainty little hands makes me mad.

I haven't used wired earphones or headphones in maybe 4 years now. No way I would go back to being tethered to my PC and/or dealing with tangled wires, especially with how well the newer versions of Bluetooth work.
