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.

Bluetooth is shite.

It can be convenient but also it constantly cuts out, disconnects, or the batteries die.

I'm not a big fan of headphones in general but when traveling I absolutely prefer wired.

When listening to podcasts while I work at home, I prefer Bluetooth because I can use only 1 ear without the other one flopping around.

You must have shitty Bluetooth for some reason.

The only one I can relate to is you need to charge it. And that sucks.

I don't have shitty Bluetooth. I've used a wide variety of high and low end devices for a dozen years and every one of them is a shitty experience.

I'm sure if you use shitty AirPods on a shitty iPhone it works great but I'm not about to do that.

I use Bluetooth for 3 different speakers in my home, Bluetooth in the car, Bluetooth for headset and I don't own AirPods nor an iPhone.

And I don't experience your problems. But I'm also not mad at Bluetooth to begin with.

No one is mad at Bluetooth. We're mad that we don't have a 3.5mm jack for wired headphones, and were given nothing in exchange.
