Alternatively, if your current phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

    I just got a new phone that doesn’t have it, and I very strongly miss it. I hate having to charge wireless devices. Everything that I can, I get wired.

    Doesn’t help much that lately it’s been getting harder and harder to find good compact wired earphones, most companies pivoted to wireless… And of those that I find, most are the in-ear type with that rubber tip you squeeze deep into your ear… I also don’t like that. Guess I’ll have to move to over-ears for everything.

      I’m not sure what compact wired earphones that aren’t earbuds could be but um… they have these things, search for earbud ear hook. Maybe they could be a solution for you?

        Since I have to use wireless, I did find myself a pair of those for my new phone. Still waiting for them to ship, though. Over the ear hooks are pretty nice, I used to really like them years ago when they were more common, before the damn rubber in-ears.

          Have you looked at the Sony linkbuds or galaxy buds live? They’re not “in ear” like all the others, and are for people that hate that “blocked ear” feeling the others give. I’ve got them both and they’re great. The fit isn’t for everyone though since they’re kind of sitting in the outer ear.
