I need to have the audio in sync with the video so I need to have a headphone jack on all my devices

My current phone has headphone jack and it is something that wikl weigh in on the future choice of another phone.

Wireless headphones are not a convinience for me.

I finally tried a little Bluetooth amp and found my wired earphones sound better than they ever did plugged into the phone directly. Couldn't hear an improvement when plugging into the usb port and using as a usb DAC. So i guess the high quality ldac codec must be kinda good.

Would still prefer the 3.5mm option of course - much more useful for aux out.

I use headphones every night to listen to audiobooks or YouTube videos until I fall asleep.

I've used it a lot especially when console gaming and using my phone for Discord chat. So even tho I use BT earphones more often, it's useful to have.

USB dongles are unacceptable because I use magnetic cables, and USB ports are notoriously prone to breaking, making the whole phone useless.

Gimme a phone with 2 USB ports and I won't care about a headphone jack that much.

No, and I don't miss it at all.
I've used BT headphones even when my last two devices had jacks and wouldn't want to go back.
Prior to that, I can't count the number of times I would snag the wires on something or get them tangled in some way.

Now I use my BT bone conduction headphones everywhere.

I want technology that's as uncomplicated as possible for accomplishing the task, so yes. Wired is better than wireless for anything meant to only work in proximity to something else.

Nice try, Samsung

I'd like one, sure.

It's not a deal breaker either way. I have a USB dongle with a headphone jack so it's not a big deal.

I absolutely want wired headphones, though. One less set of batteries to worry about, especially when traveling internationally.

I greatly prefer it. Basically all high quality headphones are wired only... and even an equivalent wireless headphone is more expensive and more stuff to carry (gotta carry those charging cases with them). Just give me my damn port.

Have one, use it all the time.

Yes yes two thousand times yes, Why would I have to worry about charging one more device if a cable can deliver ten times the quality at the same price?

I would if I had one.

Yes

As someone who currently uses headphones throughout pretty much all his free time, yes I use wired whenever possible and my current phone was one I got because of the headphone jack. Last thing I want is to have to stop listening to whatever I'm listening to all because my bluetooth headphones need a charge.

Currently I'm stuck with a pair of shitty dollar store headphones, but they are so much better than the wireless ones I have because of just how long I can enjoy music, videos, etcetera, without needing to worry when my headphone battery needs charged. A headphone jack is extremely important to me.

I just got a new phone that doesn't have it, and I very strongly miss it. I hate having to charge wireless devices. Everything that I can, I get wired.

Doesn't help much that lately it's been getting harder and harder to find good compact wired earphones, most companies pivoted to wireless... And of those that I find, most are the in-ear type with that rubber tip you squeeze deep into your ear... I also don't like that. Guess I'll have to move to over-ears for everything.

I use my audio jack in my car. The car has Bluetooth but only supports calls, no support for music.

Another point to make is that people here are saying wireless headphones are just as good as wired ones nowadays, but I don't think that applies to cheap ones.

Nowadays I very rarely use headphones with my phone out in public, so I don't see much purpose in spending money on a good pair for myself. I bought a cheap set of wireless ones awhile ago and they're terrible. They always struggle to connect to my phone and they have abysmal range, it struggles if my phone is sitting next to me rather than in my hands. I find any pair of cheap wired headphones you can get from any corner shop or supermarket is way cheaper and much more reliable than most cheap wireless ones.

I like wired. They always connect to the device I want it to connect to the first time.

I much prefer wireless headphones, because I keep breaking every plug. I even tried soldering them, but that ended in a catastrophe lol. That being said, I recently lost my wireless pair and had to pick my old K450. Now I'm grateful that I picked a phone with a headphone jack. I wasn't even checking if it has one while buying.

My phone (Pixel 7) does not have one. On occasion I use a pair of wired USB-C headphones but only for media. I do not use headphones for calls. Bluetooth in the car for calls and YouTube Music.

Have only bought phones that have a headphone jack. Never ones that dont.
