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 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
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.
Have you tried a Bluetooth FM transmitter? I have one plugged into the cigarette lighter that my phone connects to and I just tune my radio into the same frequency to hear it. They're pretty cheap and even has buttons on it to skip tracks.

I got a Bluetooth tape adapter. Had to try a few because some are real ass.
I use it sometimes, but used it regularly for music until I busted out an old iPod.
Daily, I drive an 01 cherokee sport base model. This means I have a tape deck and fuck all else.
Never, Bluetooth adapter in the car, AirPods otherwise. FUCK cords
Nowadays only in my car. It doesn't have a bluetooth receiver.
It's hard to find a wired earphones with ANC. About a decade earlier I used wired a Audio Technica earphones with ANC.
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.
Yup use it with multiple devices, car and headphones. Bring it bloody back. No intention of buying another overpriced accessory plain and simple
When my phone lost the headphone jack, I just stopped listening to music outside of my home.
I honestly prefer walks now.
Never. Bluetooth headphones and connectivity in the car.
Every day, for msny hours
Everyday
Most of the time I use Bluetooth headphones, but when I'm in the mood to listen to some good quality music, I switch to wired headphones... Probably a few times per month and only at home.
Whenever my fiio runs out of power. About once a week.
I use it every day so for me is still a big must have. I also use it for 8 hours straight at work
Until I got a phone without one, I used it all the time. But now I have fully switched to Bluetooth. The price pot me off a lot, but my tozo A3s are are both cheap enough and good enough that I am happy to have made the switch.
I refused to get a phone without one for quite a long while and finally caved. I haven't used wired headphones in years but I hate that there isn't the option anymore as a default.
