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 prefer having a dedicated headphone jack, I dislike wireless devices, heck, my mouse is wired. But my new Android removed it sadly.

The main reason why I'm okay with not having it is because there's no decent wired headphones, all are either for children or incredibly cheaply-made.

That seems like an odd thing to state. There are lots of wired headphones and ear buds of all prices and styles. Are you only looking in store or also online?

Get one thats wireless, and has an aux port. best of both worlds.

There are several premium headphones like that.
