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.

    Every night ! I listen to a sleep podcast. I recently changed to a phone without a 3.5mm jack and was kinda scrambling to figure out an alternative. I had a splitter for power and headphones, but it didn’t work the way I thought it should: I was used to unplugging the headphones from the phone and that would automatically pause the audio, and plugging in would resume. For some reason (perhaps cheapness) the splitter reported the headphones as present whether or not headphones were actually connected. I ended up getting a BT dongle which has a pause button and I can just take it with when I step away from the phone.
