It's the only way I listen to music when I'm not in my car or in my house
I had to buy a converter to stick my headphones into to connect to my phone because it didn't have the jack. Which is really annoying because I have really nice headphones and I don't want to sacrifice my sound quality for shitty Bluetooth ones.
When I get a call at home while already wearing my wired headset I like to just plug it into the phone.
Since my current phone was bought used I had to compromise on some things, so I don't have a headphone jack anymore. I use a USB-C Adapter now. I use it for most phone calls, especially the longer ones with family. So probably for a few hours per month.
For quite a long time, until about 2021, I was still using wired headphones when on the go, but nowadays I'm addicted to noise cancelling, so that use case has moved to Bluetooth now. My protective headsets from work (both the over-ear and the in-ear set) also use Bluetooth.
I don't.
I'm a bit clumsy (ADHD) and having a cable attached to my body attached to a €1000 device is asking for trouble. I hate the cable getting tangled up, caught on things etc.
I never use it. But I only listen to songs when I'm driving.
I use it all the time. And I would argue that the question should be "what's the intelligence distribution of people using cabled data links over those preferring wireless?" :p
I’ve been using bluetooth earbuds for several years now. You can walk around freely when connected to your PC, the wires don’t get tangled and noise canceling is great. But one upside of wired earbuds is that you’re not exposed to bluetooth zero days such as the one that recently came to light.
Would be using it pretty much every day, my car doesn't have bluetooth so I need to rely on a casette to aux converter that I stick in the tape slot. Then I end up needing to plug my (jackless) phone into a lightning to aux dongle, plug that into the aux for the cassette converter, and then finally swap to the tape deck. Super annoying and would be slightly less-so with a jack.
Have you tried a Bluetooth FM transmitter? I have one plugged into the cigarette lighter that my phone connects to and I just tune my radio into the same frequency to hear it. They're pretty cheap and even has buttons on it to skip tracks.
I got a Bluetooth tape adapter. Had to try a few because some are real ass.
Daily, I drive an 01 cherokee sport base model. This means I have a tape deck and fuck all else.
I use it sometimes, but used it regularly for music until I busted out an old iPod.
Never, Bluetooth adapter in the car, AirPods otherwise. FUCK cords
Rarely, but I like knowing it's there if my headphones run out of battery and I need to join a meeting or make a call.
Yup use it with multiple devices, car and headphones. Bring it bloody back. No intention of buying another overpriced accessory plain and simple
I've been using my wire headphones for over 10 years until recently. I've moved to Shockz, it's more convenient but the sound lacks bass.
At least once a week. Will be a shame when I eventually move onto a phone without a jack.
I definitely used it when I had it on my previous phone. These days though… bluetooth headphones are good enough for me for calls, podcasts and YouTube. So I just use those.
It's also the ariel for my radio so..
A few years ago I would have said every day, but I got a really good pair of Bluetooth Bose headphones that have wireless charging so I don't have to worry about anything anymore. After work they get put on a charging pad then in the morning I grab them and they're ready to go.
My wife does daily to plug into our car. When she recently got a phone without a jack, I bought her a dongle for charging and audio.
Does she use wired audio daily? Yes. Does her phone have a headphone jack? Well, no.
Whenever my fiio runs out of power. About once a week.
Me, at least once a week
All my headphones are wired so daily. I have a dongle for an iPad I use frequently and it works fine but charging it is a drain.
I don't have a headphone jack.
Even if I had one, I haven't been able to buy wired headphones that aren't crap quality that don't hurt my ears. Last time I bought wired headphones (more accurately earbuds) they were tinny knock off garbage being sold on Amazon as a legitimate product, and that was years ago.
Everyday
I refused to get a phone without one for quite a long while and finally caved. I haven't used wired headphones in years but I hate that there isn't the option anymore as a default.
I use it every day so for me is still a big must have. I also use it for 8 hours straight at work
