it's the olny way i can use headphones right now since I don't have wireless headphones

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.

When I get a call at home while already wearing my wired headset I like to just plug it into the phone.

Since my current phone was bought used I had to compromise on some things, so I don't have a headphone jack anymore. I use a USB-C Adapter now. I use it for most phone calls, especially the longer ones with family. So probably for a few hours per month.

For quite a long time, until about 2021, I was still using wired headphones when on the go, but nowadays I'm addicted to noise cancelling, so that use case has moved to Bluetooth now. My protective headsets from work (both the over-ear and the in-ear set) also use Bluetooth.

I use Bluetooth headphones every day, for most of the day. Despite that, there are times where i forget to charge them the night before, or something else goes wrong, and I use wired headphones.

If I got a phone without a headphone jack, I don't think it'd be much of a problem, until it is. I'd need it, and suddenly realized I don't have it.

I never use it. But I only listen to songs when I'm driving.

I don't.

I'm a bit clumsy (ADHD) and having a cable attached to my body attached to a €1000 device is asking for trouble. I hate the cable getting tangled up, caught on things etc.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Routinely with IEMs or over ear headphones as my Sony has a good DAC. If I am having a serious music listening session, I'll use a USB C dongle DAC amp.

A few years ago I would have said every day, but I got a really good pair of Bluetooth Bose headphones that have wireless charging so I don't have to worry about anything anymore. After work they get put on a charging pad then in the morning I grab them and they're ready to go.

Sorry to derail but what do people think of air gap or air tube wired headphones? Do you think they are necessary?

I have a headphone jack and have never used it

I use it, I have some very nice ear monitors from an old job. I also hate throwaway crap. If I have to I can solder a new cable on. Wireless headphones are extremely difficult to fix.

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.

Two of my headphones are wired.

They're both usb-c.

This isn't a wired/wireless issue. You can not have a 3.5mm audio jack on your phone and still use wired headphones without an adapter because usb-c headphones exist.

You can talk about quality differences and such, but that isn't the same as wired vs wireless being the only two options.

I bought a dongle for $7 and use it at work, maybe twice a week?

I use it every day on my way to work and most nights before bed.

It's also the ariel for my radio so..

Whenever my fiio runs out of power. About once a week.

I use it every time I drive.
