Every day, I have an app that connects the audio of my pc to my phone through wifi and using bluetooth would just make the whole setup unusable for calls + wifi has better range and audio quality than bluetooth. The whole setup is PC->Ethernet->Router->wifi->Phone for ~30 ms of latency and the app is soundwire.

I basically stopped using wired headphones when Work From Home became a thing. I kept getting up from my desk and wanting to keep my audio going while wandering around and having wireless is perfect for my small house. I would definitely want to go back to wired if I was commuting or out in public daily though.

The only thing I miss it for is plugging into the car. I've got Bluetooth adapters now though that work pretty well. In theory I might run into a situation where it would be nice to be able to plug into a speaker or someone else's car or something, but BT is so common it doesn't really come up.

Weekly, since i moved i don't really care how much noise i make, but i still use my wired headphones daily with my computer

Daily. Mostly Spotify and Youtube or when I don't want to listen to my wife.

I bought a dongle for $7 and use it at work, maybe twice a week?

Sorry to derail but what do people think of air gap or air tube wired headphones? Do you think they are necessary?

I dont

When I got my iPhone without a headphone jack, I went out and bought a nice Bluetooth headset. I did use it a lot at the time, but just recently rediscovered it after a couple years lost. It turns out that I prefer speakers for audio/video and only use headphones for calls … for work I prefer wired headphones because they always work, whereas Bluetooth keeps begetting confused whether I am in the office or at home, but that’s not in mobile

I use it every time I drive.

Multiple times a week. I make music and connect my phone to the PA to practice or listen to playbacks. It also goes into the e-drums as playback device. If you're using proper audio equipment, the headphone jack is useful for a lot of stuff. I even have a rumble-metronome that connects via headphone jack.

If I had one, I would use it for somewhere between 2:00 to 8 hours per week. Considering getting the next ZenFone largely because it has one.

I use headphone jack everyday since I use a iem. I hate using wireless buds.

I used it every day, when I had it. I would still use it every day if I had it. Sadly I don't have it anymore.

Routinely with IEMs or over ear headphones as my Sony has a good DAC. If I am having a serious music listening session, I'll use a USB C dongle DAC amp.

Never.

You’ll never hear from the people who don’t miss it because it’s nothing for us to talk about, so it seems like everyone only wants them back when in reality the vast majority don’t care.

I don't have one anymore but even if I did I wouldn't use it. Much prefer wireless.

Two of my headphones are wired.

They're both usb-c.

This isn't a wired/wireless issue. You can not have a 3.5mm audio jack on your phone and still use wired headphones without an adapter because usb-c headphones exist.

You can talk about quality differences and such, but that isn't the same as wired vs wireless being the only two options.

What's a headphone jack?

JK, I used to use mine a lot, when I had one. I was sad to see it go, but I've moved on. I can use the USB-C port just as easily, if I want to.

I use IEMs and wired headphones. Having a headphone jack would be game changer since I can charge and play music at the same time (I don't want to buy a 2 in 1 dongle).

A very simple I used it all the time until I got wireless earphones. It's bizarre to think people just forget that headphones can be expensive so people still have wired ones

Currently never, but that's because i dont go out much. If I went out more, even just for jogging. I would be extremely frustrated that my current phone doesn't have a jack. Currently I have to have to so everyone around me can hear my phone as I don't have a converted or a wireless headphone.

Most of the time I use Bluetooth headphones, but when I'm in the mood to listen to some good quality music, I switch to wired headphones... Probably a few times per month and only at home.

I use it every day so for me is still a big must have. I also use it for 8 hours straight at work

If I still had one I would use it every day. I now use Bluetooth bone conducting headphones so I can hear other things while I listen to The Majority Report while I work.

Everyday

I have a pair of hybrid headphones that are both bluetooth and support 3.5mm wired.

I use them wired on my PC and bluetooth everywhere else.
