How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?

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’m 39, and I almost never used the headphone jack on any of my old phones, and I’m one of those that doesn’t miss the jack.

I get why people want it, I’m just not in that camp, and most of my friends are the same.

I’m about 20 years older than you, and the only wired earphones I have came with devices. They’re in a box with other crap I don’t use.

I haven’t used wired earphones since about 2006.

So yea, I don’t think “older folks have more wired stuff” holds true at all. All my peers embraced BT and were happy to ditch wires.
