A lot of people use the headphone jack still. Bluetooth will never be as good as direct connection. Some people don't own cars with all that Bluetooth bullshit, or just prefer to use the jack since it is lossless audio. People want to charge and listen to music at the same time.
This is why I'm still using my LG v60, it had the best headphone jack and dac at the time and probably still does looking at everything else currently on the market.
I'm still rocking the v60 also. LG started packing a world class DAC into their smartphones back with the LG v35 and kept it going all the way to their pinnacle (the v60). The v35, the v60, and everything in between had audio superiority that still hasn't been beaten by other modern flagships.
I'm going to be inconsolable when my v60 finally needs replacing.
V50 user here (didn't get V60 cause of the larger size) I broke my phone a few months ago, filtered GSMarena for a replacement that'd fullfil my criteria, and Sony Xperias were the the best of the few options that it spat out. Ended up just fixing the V50 for $100, I too will probably hold onto this until it actually breaks.
