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 mine, both on my phone and tablet.

I have a bluetooth headphone, but the hassle of dealing with battery dying out, then having to reach for my pocket in a crowded bus to put it back on the pod/charger isn't worth it. I nearly lost one of the pieces because it fell off my ear. Also, the only other situation where it'd be good, which is having it in my ears while I do house chores without the phone in my pocket, suffers from "wall interference".
