Technology

Nowadays only in my car. It doesn't have a bluetooth receiver.

It's hard to find a wired earphones with ANC. About a decade earlier I used wired a Audio Technica earphones with ANC.

Never. Bluetooth headphones and connectivity in the car.

it's the olny way i can use headphones right now since I don't have wireless headphones

Rarely, but I like knowing it's there if my headphones run out of battery and I need to join a meeting or make a call.

Yup use it with multiple devices, car and headphones. Bring it bloody back. No intention of buying another overpriced accessory plain and simple

I don't have one. When I did I used it every day.

Now I have a stupid dongle which I use nearly every day.

I've used a headphone jack on my phone probably three times in the past two years. It is extremely uncommon for me to use it, and I would actually just prefer it not be there.

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

I’ve been using bluetooth earbuds for several years now. You can walk around freely when connected to your PC, the wires don’t get tangled and noise canceling is great. But one upside of wired earbuds is that you’re not exposed to bluetooth zero days such as the one that recently came to light.

Daily, I drive an 01 cherokee sport base model. This means I have a tape deck and fuck all else.

I've been using my wire headphones for over 10 years until recently. I've moved to Shockz, it's more convenient but the sound lacks bass.

Would be using it pretty much every day, my car doesn't have bluetooth so I need to rely on a casette to aux converter that I stick in the tape slot. Then I end up needing to plug my (jackless) phone into a lightning to aux dongle, plug that into the aux for the cassette converter, and then finally swap to the tape deck. Super annoying and would be slightly less-so with a jack.

I use it all the time. And I would argue that the question should be "what's the intelligence distribution of people using cabled data links over those preferring wireless?" :p

Is there a way to migrate yet?

Never. Bluetooth AirPods 100% of the time.

So I typically have two sets of headphones, really nice ones that I use for long travel & low key ones I use daily.

At the time my really nice ones didn't have Bluetooth, but I knew future versions did, so I assumed that problem would solve itself.

For the daily I tried a set a Bluetooth and found them to be mostly ok, but had frequent disconnects and eventually I just got tired of remembering to charge them.

A few years later I figured the technology would have improved, but my problems remained the same. I then accidentally ran one of my buds through the wash and that made things worse. It wasn't the first time I'd run headphones through the wash, but what was previously a $10s of dollars mistake, was now a $100s of dollars mistake.

I now use wired headphones daily and exclusively.

For my really nice ones I don't have to remember to charge them. I just plug them in.

Also, when traveling on buses and airplanes, they sometimes provide onride entertainment. It's not clear to me how wireless only folks utilize that. Sure I downloaded things before I leave, but it's nice sometimes to just plug in.

I do

Because sometimes I just want simplicity. If I’m sitting in a room with my laptop, iPad and two phones it’s a freaking crap shoot which one my BT headphones are going to connect to.

But alas, none of my phones have a jack anymore so I use a dongle.

Someone needs to invent a headphone cord that directly connects to the USB C port. Is that a thing?

The one time I missed it was when I was trying to sell a subwoofer which only has RCA inputs and I had to use my laptop top prove it worked to potential buyers. Other than that, I use Bluetooth exclusively.

I have some Fiio FH3 IEMs that I use with a Lightning to 3.5mm dongle fairly often. I also have some Airpods that are much more convenient to carry around and use but I do like my wired IEMs for when I want a more focused music listening and am not going to be moving around as much.
