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 use it by default to listen to podcasts when running or at the gym. I only buy phones with a headphone jack because I feel like wired headphones are a better feature than any flagship phone stuff. Wired headphones are much cheaper, interchangeable, harder to lose, no connection hassles, and best of all I don't need to remember to charge them. The only downside is tangles.

I have a pair of wireless earbuds I got ages ago for about 5x what my wired earbuds cost, when I mistakenly bought a non-jack phone. I don't use them since going back to a jacked phone.
