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.

Daily with a USB-C DAC (prefer no DAC). I've had Bluetooth headphones ranging from $30 to $300. Keeping them charged is just a pain in the ass and the battery inevitability wears out due to too many cycles.
All my peers stalling our remote meetings for 5+ minutes when their air pods die or have pairing issues also annoys the fuck out of me as it happens every damn week. We do a lot of pair programming sitting in discord all day.
Until the tech improves, I'll stick with wired.
I remember people saying it was funny how Han Solo had a wired headset when he flew, even though they have all the Star Wars technology, but I feel like even with amazing advances it will be hard to beat the wire anytime soon.
You're probably right! The reliability is just leagues better, especially with heavy use.
