I don't get it. This poll is largely in favor of jacks. I love my Bluetooth buds so much more. No more with I have to deal with broken wires. No more do I have to deal with moving my hand and accidentally snagging the cord, forcing my phone to the floor. No more do I have to deal with the cord creating noise as it rubs against the zipper of my jacket...
good thing is phones already had bluetooth before they started removing the analog headphone jack
it isn't either or
When my headphones run out of battery, I switch to using the aux cord. The jack also allows me to play backing tracks through my guitar amp via the aux cord. I agree that wireless is superior for everyday use, but there are certain situations where I need the headphone jack.
I cant wear buds. They fall out all the time so I prefer my over ears which have wires.
if you don't need noise isolation, I switched to bone induction headphones (which are awesome). I can wear buds, but they suck at the gym and are just annoying
Yeah but I don't want to buy new headphones when I've got good, expensive wired headphones already (which I don't need to recharge).
Response is headphone jack is beyond just the use of the bluetooth buds. My work truck doesn't have a bluetooth adapter, a $2 cord takes care of the problem. My parents Subaru when I'm driving them around when they visit does have Bluetooth, but gets angry if you try to connect another phone, guess what? Same $2 cord in my truck allows me to connect in. When I'm working a 12 hour day, headset batteries don't last that long, nor does my phone really. But I can hook up my phone to a battery pack, then have it plug into a speaker by aux, by god it just works.
Bluetooth is fantastic if you go to the same place every day, and every piece of equipment is yours and connected in and auto connects. But those of us that travel it's nice to have a plugin that just works without playing the "Why is it not recognizing?" game.
Solved with a cigarette lighter powered Bluetooth adapter that's small enough to pack around. Or you can get aux ones too.
I used to do a ton of travelling too. I haven't used that jack on my phone in over 10 years.
Even at that, if you're plugging in a cord to your phone what's wrong with an adapter? Basically the same thing. Additionally I think you can get ones that allow you to use aux and charge at the same time
