As someone who currently uses headphones throughout pretty much all his free time, yes I use wired whenever possible and my current phone was one I got because of the headphone jack. Last thing I want is to have to stop listening to whatever I’m listening to all because my bluetooth headphones need a charge.
Currently I’m stuck with a pair of shitty dollar store headphones, but they are so much better than the wireless ones I have because of just how long I can enjoy music, videos, etcetera, without needing to worry when my headphone battery needs charged. A headphone jack is extremely important to me.
You don’t, though I would have thought that most of the time when people are using their headphones plugged in to their phone they’re out and about rather than sitting with their phone next to the socket? Though that could be an incorrect assumption of course
No, everything is blocked on our work computers and they encrypt removable storage devices when you plug them in so can’t bring media from home either. Just easier to use the phone.
It could possibly be an acceptable compromise. Though I prefer the jack to be part of the phone so that way it’s one less accessory I have to worry about losing or accidentally destroying.

Out of curiosity, would a phone with a USB C to 3.5mm mini Jack be an acceptable compromise?
How do you charge the phone while using that?

like 95% of my headphone usage is at my desk at work.
Can’t you listen to music on your work computer or something? Guessing you have an uncool boss. Fair enough!

Absolutely, I agree completely, personally I hate the adapter because of that reason. I lose literally everything I’m capable of losing.
