A very simple I used it all the time until I got wireless earphones. It's bizarre to think people just forget that headphones can be expensive so people still have wired ones

I have a pair of hybrid headphones that are both bluetooth and support 3.5mm wired.

I use them wired on my PC and bluetooth everywhere else.

Is there a way to migrate yet?

I do

The one time I missed it was when I was trying to sell a subwoofer which only has RCA inputs and I had to use my laptop top prove it worked to potential buyers. Other than that, I use Bluetooth exclusively.

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

I have some Fiio FH3 IEMs that I use with a Lightning to 3.5mm dongle fairly often. I also have some Airpods that are much more convenient to carry around and use but I do like my wired IEMs for when I want a more focused music listening and am not going to be moving around as much.

I have never once used the audio jack on a phone, Bluetooth is just much more convenient for me and has never caused me any issues.

I use lightning cord headphones because using my hearing aids as Bluetooth all the time drains them and there are connectivity issues over random shit.

That said, yeah, it’s a minor annoyance that I don’t have an aux jack, and the waterproofing is more valuable to me

Incidentally using my hearing aids as headphones has started causing me problems because they autoconnect to Bluetooth and my upstairs neighbors have just gotten Bluetooth speakers. I need to find a way to make them stop connecting to those devices for my sanity

Only when my wireless earbuds batterie dies

Every day, I have an app that connects the audio of my pc to my phone through wifi and using bluetooth would just make the whole setup unusable for calls + wifi has better range and audio quality than bluetooth. The whole setup is PC->Ethernet->Router->wifi->Phone for ~30 ms of latency and the app is soundwire.

ever since I got a new phone with a headphone jack, been wanting to get a usb c to headphone jack adaptor, still dont have any headphones I can use with my phone

Lately I've been using my Bluetooth headphones more, because of the noise cancelling. However, I still use my phone's headphone jack about once a week.

On my iPad I almost never use Bluetooth headphones because I mostly only use it for note taking with the Apple Pencil so I take it where I go often and hate having it auto connect/disconnect to my Bluetooth headphones when I'm not even using my iPad. And because Apple the quick toggle to turn off Bluetooth only works until the next day. So I almost exclusively use the jack on my iPad and I'm mad they got away with removing it on the tablets and all the Android OEMs followed through (except Samsung).

Never. Bluetooth AirPods 100% of the time.

I’ve never liked or wanted a wire connecting me to my phone. It’s irritating and is a hugely negative stim for me, akin to nails on a chalkboard.

I use bluetooth when I'm out and wired when I'm home

I probably would if I had one. I used it all the time on the last phone I had that did have it.

I have an old phone I still use for media because it has the headphone jack, it's also great to watch stuff in a room with other people in it like when a partner is watching TV or something. I bought the FairPhone 4 because I heard they (the company) made phones with it and failed my due diligence and was promptly disappointed with the lack of jack. Still my biggest gripe with this phone and still a feature I love and want back.

You can even munch on bugles and still hear your video! Its amazing!

Because sometimes I just want simplicity. If I’m sitting in a room with my laptop, iPad and two phones it’s a freaking crap shoot which one my BT headphones are going to connect to.

But alas, none of my phones have a jack anymore so I use a dongle.
