Alternatively, if your current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

I used to be quite hardline on this, however now I use a portable DAP (Hiby R5 Gen 2) for my music. It has a class A amplifier, balanced output, a Terabyte of storage, and streams Qubuz Hi-Res. So I don't use my phone now.

Used it once to debug an audio problem, haven't used wired headphones since years

Mine has one but even though I don't use it, it's good to have it for emergency situations when your bluetooth headphones are out of battery.

No, I really enjoy my shokz bone conduction headphones for general work calls, audiobooks, chores, running, etc. It's like I simply have the audio in my head.

They are Bluetooth and last all day, sometimes multiple if I'm not in meetings all day. They are waterproof, I can even swim with them.

Honestly running got me away from wired headphones the most

I don't care about the headphone jack. Bluetooth earbuds are super convenient, and when I want higher quality I plug in a Fiio BTR5 to the USB-C port and use that to power good headphones. Way better than a built in dac/amp would be.

It's pretty rare that I use wired headphones, I prefer them wireless.

I'm told that wired headphones have higher range audio support, but it's not like the music I stream from Spotify would support that anyways...

Man I can only dream of a new pixel having a headphone jack. And ain't no way I'm getting off grepheneos.

You ask three different questions here but expect only one response.

I wish my tablet had a headphone jack. I have to use an adapter but I would want one on there by default. I haaaaate bluetooth headphones. Too much delay. And no, I don't have a phone.

I use bluetooth earbuds for work - I used wired buds up until this job, but I ended up constantly ripping them out of my ear by accident, UUUUGGGGHHHHHH. But I would still be using wired if I could. My husband also uses wireless earbuds at work, but needs a headphone jack to play music through his ancient work truck. He had an adapter while he had a phone w/o a jack, but then he couldn't charge his phone while listening to music. I know there are splitters out there, but we didn't end up buying one, and he just replaced his phone with a new one that includes a headphone jack.

I'm probably the odd one out, and I used to be infuriated by the idea that my phone didn't have a headphone jack, but I got used to not having it.

I only use wireless headphones now, and I have a USB-C adapter I can use in case I do want to use an aux port. Have been tempted to buy some decent "Chi-Fi" wired earphones, I do miss higher quality sound.

I have had exclusively Bluetooth headphones for almost a decade at this point. I keep a backup pair of wired usb-c earbuds in my glove box in case I don't foresee needing my wireless buds.

Controversial take - sometimes you've just got to adapt to the times. I'll never forgive everyone for removing SD expansion in phones, because there's absolutely no replacement except "buy our expensive cloud storage and own nothing ever!" or "spend SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN THE ACTUAL COST OF FLASH STORAGE to increase your onboard storage!" which are both unacceptable. But wireless headphones are perfectly acceptable. If I want an audiophile experience, I'm absolutely not using my phone anyways.

I have it but I have never used it. I've been using my Galaxy note 9 user since December 2018. I have active noice cancelling headphones for most scenarios and true wireless earphones for gym.

It would be nice if it did, but my newer Bluetooth headphones are a joy, so it doesn't matter most of the time.

[โ€“] cloaker@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Eh, don't care. If it has it nice enough but I have two great pairs of BT headphones and a USB-C pair.

[โ€“] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I am once again telling you to use an adapter or external dac.

Not as someone who only uses bt headphones, but as someone who owns more sets of wired headphones than almost everyone itt.

Stop relying on a dac included as an afterthought. Stop relying on a port that was never designed for pocket use and routinely tears the end off your $300 senhausers.
