    I have a collection of wired headphones. I did use it, when phones had it.

    Now it’s dongle life.

      I mean… if you look beyond Apple then there’s loads of 3.5mm-ready phones available

        As an Android user. People I think forget how much headphones with cords sucked to.

        Skull candies were expensive, broke, and sounded like shit.

        Did no one else have headphones get yanked out of your heads bent and worn out. Cords get frayed, have them get lost or stolen. It was also just nother tangled cord that I had do deal with.

        I might be a rarity here and you are entitled to feel how you feel but God I look back and think about how badly I fucking don’t miss the headphones jack and all the shitty headphones brands trying to make a buck.

        There are cheap and affordable shitty sounding Bluetooth earbuds and good ones these days at an affordable cost now. Just. Move. On.

    Do you own a wired earphone?

      I do have a pair of wired headphones I use with my laptop and probably could find a pair or two of earphones I used pre-2017; what’s your point?

        Isn’t it obvious? I thought you didn’t have a pair of those, which would explain why you didn’t use the jack on your phone.

        Any particular reason you use your earphones only with your laptop?

  I don’t object to them as an optional feature, but they are about as useful as optical drives to the typical user.

  There was majesty’s a Lightning to headphone adapter if you really wanted it but most of us had given up the headphone jack libg before Apple stopped providing it

  Why not bring black floppy drives too while they’re at it?

  I used to be one of the angry people pissed off about losing the jack.

  Now that I have a few wireless earphones, I wouldn’t go back to wired. It’s a mild inconvenience to have to charge them but the battery life is decent and not have a cable getting caught on stuff whilst I’m working is super useful.

  The audio quality is a tiny bit worse than wired, but unless you’re an audio engineer, you’re not going to notice.
