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 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...
