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 only use wired headphones.The annoyance of batteries, the higher prices and the much shorter lifespan makes wireless a no go for me.

    You can buy some nice wired headphones and expect them to last 15+ years if taken good care of. Good luck trying to keep wireless ones for more than 5 years with a good battery life.

      I know people don’t really value it these days, but to me there is great value in (stupidly) simple technology.

      The more complicated a system is, the more prone it is to breakage. We have lots of areas in our life where we already rely on complicated circuits. I don’t need to add headphones to that list.
