On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

I have never once missed it. I've already switched to Bluetooth for my headphones and car. At home I cast to the hifi or Bluetooth speaker.

I got an adaptor to let me use cabled headphones when I need to and I've used it twice, once was to test it even worked.

The use case just doesn't exist for me anymore.

    Same. Did me, the advantages of wired headphones don't outweigh the obnoxiousness of fucking wires getting tangled up.

    This is it for me. Yeah Bluetooth is meh, some codec make it less meh, but really I just don’t want to have a wire, and am willing to put up with all the tradeoffs to make that happen.
