I personally prefer my bluetooth headphones, but it's not like bluetooth and jacks can't exist on the same device..

Plus, pairing bluetooth in a car can be annoying as fuck. Looking at you, Nissan

BT pairing in our Ram works fine, and it works fine with the aftermarket Pioneer radio in my car. I've never had a major issue with either one with any phone I've owned, iPhone or Android.

For our Mazda, though, BT pairing does not work reliably with my Samsung S21 - it's okay for phone calls (in fact, the car "steals" my calls if I'm on the phone at home and my wife gets home with the car), but for music it almost never works correctly, unless I'm also using Android Auto, which is rare because I just don't need it for most day-to-day drives. The BT phone and music works fine for my wife's iPhone, though.

I blame the car - my phone works just fine with several sets of Bluetooth headsets, and the other two car stereos. I think Mazda just didn't bother to do any debugging before they shipped that piece of shit to the dealers. (This theory is based on other bugs we've found in the infotainment system as well.)

Because they do the bare minimum to meet the spec so that they could advertise it then. They still do the bare minimum now.

Yeah I want a headphone jack, but the truth is that I can't remember the last time I used mine. I have an old phone plugged into an old amp that I can play Spotify through, otherwise I use bt.

Yeah, they could coexist. I'm partial to non-bluetooth, but only because they come in shapes that I find more comfortable, and I've yet to find bluetooth ones that don't make my ears hurt
