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.

If they made nice wireless headphones where the battery lasted longer than 5 years, wasn't at risk in a hot car or backpack, and was also reasonably priced I'd concede they're better. Until then theyre not a better solution (unless during workouts) and contributes to e-waste. The adapter is apple-branded too... I guess something about the usb-c spec doesn't allow loud audio signals to pass through.

My parents aren't even old enough to be boomers. I'm just practical.
