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 do. Specifically got an older samsung that still had it.

I dont like using bluetooth headphones in the office. Random disconnects for whatever reason is not something I need happening since tunes like 'Marvin Sease - Candylicker' is not office appropriate.

What application are you using that doesn't pause on Bluetooth disconnect? I've never had the issue of audio playing from the device when the Bluetooth cuts out

Definitely a bigger AUX problem since the same volume is typically used for the phone speaker and aux. Bluetooth is a separate media control.

It shouldn't be a problem at all, regardless of volume settings, if your phone is working correctly.

AUX ports and cables wear out relatively quickly. And accidental cord pulls happen.

Seems like a weird point to dispute. The option for AUX is always a plus, but don't need to sugar coat it like there aren't drawbacks.

Twitch app would do it occasionally but I think it had more to do with the earbuds I had last I tried a long time ago.
