A very simple I used it all the time until I got wireless earphones. It's bizarre to think people just forget that headphones can be expensive so people still have wired ones

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

It's also the ariel for my radio so..

Is there a way to migrate yet?

Me, at least once a week

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.

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.

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 use bluetooth when I'm out and wired when I'm home

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 never use my headphone jack. I don't care if my next phone has one. Having wires attached to my phone is enormously inconvenient to me. Plus I have a thing where I need to be able to hear what's going on around me, so I bought some Bose sunglasses and put prescription lenses in them. I love them. They definitely sacrifice on the bass, but I can wear them at work and still hear if someone knocks on my door or starts talking to me. They last about 5 or 6 hours and charge pretty quickly. I hardly ever have to charge them more than once per night.

I go wired. I use a pair of Sennheiser HD497 headphones I've had for 20 years. They still sound decent with a USB-C adapter at one end. It gets used daily on the train to work, and at work for zoom calls.

Everything about wireless annoys me. The price. The futzing around to pair it. The constant recharging. Having to "prepare" them before going out. The awful encoding artifacts. Radio interference. Walking around looking like an autistic kid with noise-cancelling earmuffs...

I don't use it anymore because my current phone doesn't have it, and I've had to buy bluetooth headphones. As soon as I get another phone with a jack I'll be straight back to wired.

Have to be honest. I do a bit of music producing, so I am a little bit of a snob about quality.

But on a phone, on the go, the convenience of bluetooth and not having to be tethered to anything beats the obvious downsides for me.

I use proper equipment when I want to listen in high quality and properly.

So, I haven’t had a jack input in a long time, and have missed it exactly zero times so far. But can really well understand the need for it if phone’s often with you on the go and you don’t often sit down in a specific listening spot at home. And probably any other reasons are equally understandable. I think I am the weird one here.

yes, I use the headphone jack on my phone.

I can't abide the idea of paying extra money for a separate device to plug in headphones to use a phone. That's like forcing people to buy a straw to drink their coffee because they're not allowed to drink it from a cup anymore.

I use it daily. On the bus, in the library, I can silence my phone by just plugging it in instead of using the volume buttons, I can use it on my PC which doesn't have Bluetooth. I don't have to deal with battery anxiety or weird sensors pausing the song cuz I was vibing my head with the music.

I admit, wireless seems very...user-friendly right now but it's something that has little use for me. I would pick wired over wire anyday

I don't anymore. I have a pair of Pixel Buds which I love for most situations. When I want low latency or high quality, I can plug my over ear BT headphones into my phone via USB-C. Sound is phenomenal.

I have a lightning-analog dongle on my phone headphones, that works fine. I have another analog headphones on my iPod classic for walks. The terrible catastrophe of taking out the headphone jack is nothing. There's no situation where I'd be listening to my phone and want to charge it, if it's on the charger I have a computer with speakers.

I thought I'd miss not having a headphone jack but I don't. I don't miss getting the wires caught on things and yanking out of my ears.

People will always be very vocal about things like this but I'd bet the vast majority of people don't care. It's a bit like smaller phones, I'm firmly in the "I need a smaller phone" camp but it seems like the market doesn't want one and most people prefer the big phones we have today.

I would if I had one, I use a lightning adapter with wired headphones

When I use IEMs I use an Apple USB-C to 3.5.mm dongle for my Pixel. Weirdly good value ngl. Nowadays I do have a pair of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro as well. I use them more than wired headphones at this point. So while a headphone jack would still be nice, to me it's not that necessary anymore.
