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.

    I’m 40 - so an elder millennial.

    I’m in a contrary camp. I’m not an audiophile, but I had to buy a nice set of AKG cans for an audio engineering class a long time ago. And I’ve used them through the years. I even bought an updated pair 5-6 years ago that does both wired and wireless. But by and large, when I use headphones, it’s my AirPods. They’re just more convenient and the relatively minor audio quality differences isn’t a big deal to me. And if I’m going for more of an experience - I use my new cans wirelessly. Those may still not offer the best audio ever, but they don’t have cords that get caught on stuff or have to be dealt with when stowing the headphones.
