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

Currently never, but that's because i dont go out much. If I went out more, even just for jogging. I would be extremely frustrated that my current phone doesn't have a jack. Currently I have to have to so everyone around me can hear my phone as I don't have a converted or a wireless headphone.

Every day, for msny hours

At least once a week. Will be a shame when I eventually move onto a phone without a jack.

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.

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.

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.

It's the only way I listen to music when I'm not in my car or in my house

I had to buy a converter to stick my headphones into to connect to my phone because it didn't have the jack. Which is really annoying because I have really nice headphones and I don't want to sacrifice my sound quality for shitty Bluetooth ones.

I use it less and less. I was still using wired headphones quite often when I got my current phone couple years ago but since then I switched to BT in like 95% of cases. The remaining 5% is mostly travelling. Noise cancelling headphones are too big to carry and small BT headphones don't have enough battery for a long trip. In a couple of years when I'll be changing my phone it will still be be really nice to have mini jack in it but if there's no reasonable option I might do without.

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

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

Never. Bluetooth headphones and connectivity in the car.

I stopped using it because my cables got always damaged after a few weeks/months of usage. With a (big) phone in my pocket it's just not possible for me to put no stress on the jack.

I actually stopped listening music on the road for a few years after that until I started using Bluetooth headphones/in ears. Now I wouldn't go back to cable even if it didn't break down so fast.

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

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

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

I basically stopped using wired headphones when Work From Home became a thing. I kept getting up from my desk and wanting to keep my audio going while wandering around and having wireless is perfect for my small house. I would definitely want to go back to wired if I was commuting or out in public daily though.

Daily until I had to get a new phone that didn't have one.

After that I got an adapter so I could continue using the various 3.5mm headphones thar I already own

I was forced to buy wireless headphones because phones stopped using the 3.5mm jack. I still have a pair of wired earbuds but they're useless now as I only have 3.5mm on my work laptop.

The positive is my new wireless headphones are awesome and work very well, but they're over the ear so I can't use them for snowboarding like I could with my wired earbuds. They charge ultra fast and last up to 30 hours and they come with a 3.5mm jack if the battery dies. You don't get noise cancelling when using the 3.5mm jack but at least it works.

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.
