As replied under another comment :

I'll be honest... I bought a Poco F4 because the value for money it offered was amazing. Plus, I could unlock the bootloader and shift to a custom ROM whenever I wanted (literally as soon as I could lol. Hate MiUI).

This phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but I was willing to make the jump since my general use of headphones is not as much as earphones. My ears get sweaty or scratchy after more than an hour straight of earphones, and around the same for headphones.

As a result, my overall usage is limited. So, when I got my TWS (paid ₹2000 for an okay pair, no dual device pairing, okayish build quality for the case and an okayish connection. Sound was good tho.)

My situation meant I didn't really use them as much, although they go for almost 4hrs straight. And if I put them in the case, they go for weeks without needing a charge (case has a built-in battery of 1200mAh). So, whenever I think I need the case to charge I just set it up overnight. The only sad part is it doesn't have dual device pairing. I use my laptop and phone together and I'd kill for this feature, but my budget is thin atm.

I know it's not everybody's case, but this is my case. And while I miss the jack, I don't notice the lack of it. Audio quality is good enough for me. The wires were honestly the worst part of my wired experience anyway.

It's easy for me to unplug my headphones from my mic and plug it into my phone when switching devices for discord or listening to music. I also like wired headphones since they are harder to lose at least in my opinion.

often

I want it mostly for aux in various cars. Also neat to plug into PC speakers and such.

I'd pass up on fingerprint scanner and nfc before the jack tbh.

I use both practically daily.

everyday at work. I have Bose bluetooth earbuds, but there is sometimes a slight pause once in a while. Technology isn't perfect. But I like my hardwired classic earbuds.

3 times a week for about 2 hours each.

Not at all. Bluetooth earbuds are too convenient for me. I could just leave my phone anywhere in the house playing podcasts while playing with my baby.

I'm djing and I care about good audio, but the comfort of wireless headphones is just too big of an advantage for me when I'm not specifically planning the next set. The limiting factor regarding freedom of movement with wired headphones always bummed me out. I was never regretting the switch.

At home and for gaming I use the arctis 7 (wifi headset) and a wireless mouse, never had latency issues with fps shooters or anything. And I love the comfort of being able to just walk to kitchen or the bathroom without loosing audio, e.g. when I chat with my friends. On my phone I could use an aux adapter and I thought about buying it, but didn't ever really feel the need to do so. On my laptop however I wouldn't wanna miss aux, cause I don't always have an external soundcard with me :)

I stopped using wired headphones before I had a device without a headphone jack.

I found the cord infuriating, always seemed to get caught or tangled on things, always making sensitive skin contact (like just beneath my jawline) where I was forever readjusting it and sometimes the cords lifted the headphone out of my ear.

Conversely, I’ve had three pairs of wireless headphones. First pair didn’t like getting christened in the washing machine, second pair is still going strong and third pair are AirPod Pros I bought before a flight for the noise cancellation which are also going strong. Maybe I’ve outsmarted the whole of Apple’s engineering/marketing department but I’ve never felt like the sets I’ve had are underperforming on battery life and have no reason to buy sets to replace the working ones I have. The small conveniences, like not being tethered to my phone and freedom from cords, have absolutely made the change to wireless worth it to me.

The biggest and most obvious downside against wireless headphones is compatibility and price.

I use it daily, to connect my phone to my car AUX input and my various (very expensive) headphones.

All the time

I don't have one anymore but even if I did I wouldn't use it. Much prefer wireless.

Every evening in bed I hear audiobooks for a bit. Simple wired in-ears are good for laying on your side (only one side in) while they won't be lost that easily as wireless ear buds. Also they never need to be recharged

Weekly, since i moved i don't really care how much noise i make, but i still use my wired headphones daily with my computer

Rarely, but I like knowing it's there if my headphones run out of battery and I need to join a meeting or make a call.

I don't have one. When I did I used it every day.

Now I have a stupid dongle which I use nearly every day.

I stopped using it because my cables got always damaged after a few weeks/months of usage. With a (big) phone in my pocket it's just not possible for me to put no stress on the jack.

I actually stopped listening music on the road for a few years after that until I started using Bluetooth headphones/in ears. Now I wouldn't go back to cable even if it didn't break down so fast.

Yup use it with multiple devices, car and headphones. Bring it bloody back. No intention of buying another overpriced accessory plain and simple

Currently never, but that's because i dont go out much. If I went out more, even just for jogging. I would be extremely frustrated that my current phone doesn't have a jack. Currently I have to have to so everyone around me can hear my phone as I don't have a converted or a wireless headphone.

When my phone lost the headphone jack, I just stopped listening to music outside of my home.

I honestly prefer walks now.

it's the olny way i can use headphones right now since I don't have wireless headphones

I use it to collect sand and little stones in my device.
But also to have a backup if my bluetooth in-ears get low on battery or i need to plug the phone to my old school amplifier.

Daily, I drive an 01 cherokee sport base model. This means I have a tape deck and fuck all else.

Nowadays only in my car. It doesn't have a bluetooth receiver.

It's hard to find a wired earphones with ANC. About a decade earlier I used wired a Audio Technica earphones with ANC.

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.

It's the only way I listen to music when I'm not in my car or in my house

I had to buy a converter to stick my headphones into to connect to my phone because it didn't have the jack. Which is really annoying because I have really nice headphones and I don't want to sacrifice my sound quality for shitty Bluetooth ones.

Never. Bluetooth headphones and connectivity in the car.
