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.

When my phone had one, I used it probably every day.

I still miss it. All Bluetooth buds I've used have this stupid quirk in Teams, for example, where a call will interrupt the meeting and even if I immediately hang up, it takes like 2-5 seconds for Teams to switch back to Bluetooth. I never had this issue with an aux jack.

I also had a problem the other day where my Bluetooth buds just would. not. connect. for some stupid reason despite having worked OK for a week prior. On my phone with an aux jack that was never a problem.

For music, I used to use a really nice set of Sennheiser's with my phone, and while I'm no audiophile, I swear using an adapter just isn't the same (even though I know technically it should support the same bandwidth).

Another thing I really miss are phones that came with IR Blasters.
