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.

    Would be using it pretty much every day, my car doesn’t have bluetooth so I need to rely on a casette to aux converter that I stick in the tape slot. Then I end up needing to plug my (jackless) phone into a lightning to aux dongle, plug that into the aux for the cassette converter, and then finally swap to the tape deck. Super annoying and would be slightly less-so with a jack.

      Have you tried a Bluetooth FM transmitter? I have one plugged into the cigarette lighter that my phone connects to and I just tune my radio into the same frequency to hear it. They’re pretty cheap and even has buttons on it to skip tracks.

      I got a Bluetooth tape adapter. Had to try a few because some are real ass.
