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 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 don’t have a jack, just USB-C and with the cable and adapter it’s still much worse. If it was 3.5mm my phone would know it’s just a stereo headset, but because I use have to use a USB-c adapter, it gets slightly loose and will pause the music, or play if it is paused, skip tracks, etc. The 3.5mm plug is ancient in terms of tech but still is the best plug format for headphones imo.
