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 use earphones to listen to music and take calls hads free quite often.
I recently got a new phone, a Fairphone 5, which doesn’t have a headphone jack, and I’m already missing it.
Listening to music is fine, I just use a USB-C to jack adapter, but I’ve been told people can’t hear me well when I’m doing the same to take a call.
The other day I was in the car with my brother for hours and wanted to put on some music. I couldn’t connect to the car radio via Bluetooth because my brother already was and needed it to take calls and whatnot, so AUX cable here we go. Except apparently my phone does something weird like shutting down the USB port when not in use (reasonable) between songs, creating a noise like when you connect a jack to a powered on speaker, which was super annoying.
So, yes, I use the headphones jack and sorely miss it.
