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 was forced to buy wireless headphones because phones stopped using the 3.5mm jack. I still have a pair of wired earbuds but they're useless now as I only have 3.5mm on my work laptop.

The positive is my new wireless headphones are awesome and work very well, but they're over the ear so I can't use them for snowboarding like I could with my wired earbuds. They charge ultra fast and last up to 30 hours and they come with a 3.5mm jack if the battery dies. You don't get noise cancelling when using the 3.5mm jack but at least it works.
