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.

I used to use it every day until I realized my new phone doesn't have one. Now I still use wired headphones for music when I'm near my computer. I have bluetooth earbuds that work...okay, but I have to deal with one earbud not connecting, or making sure I haven't lost one, or I take one out for a second to hear something and the music just stops, or it just doesn't connect to begin with, or I want to switch between two devices and it would be sooo much easier to just unplug something and plug it back in than to go through settings, unpair/re-pair between two devices, and hope that it actually worked the first time.
