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.

Use it every day. Yeah wireless earphones are great, but they're far from perfect; some pairs have delays and issues with audio quality, turning on bluetooth drains my phone battery quicker, and I have enough devices which I need to maintain and recharge all the time - I can't be doing with another one.

The only hassle you get with wired earphones is them tangling up and limiting how far you can move your head, but I'd take those over connection issues any day.
