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.
Every day. Aux in on my car, wired headphones, aux in on old stereo. I could replace it all with bluetooth but it isn’t broken and I can still use bluetooth on other devices. I like choice and I hate waste and conspicuous consumption. Rechargeable wireless devices with limited battery life that can’t be serviced or repaired is peak consumption/pollution bullshit. The headphone jack may wear out before my phone’s usb, battery or something else but that hasn’t been my experience historically.
Tbh buying a phone that doesn’t have a jack is probably one of my biggest regrets. Fr I still keep my old phone around because the only thing wrong with it is that the screen is shattered. But it’s manageable with a piece of packing tape. So I mostly use it for listening to stuff when I have to move and listen for hours on end.
