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

I have a jack. I do use it on occasion. But man some of you really, really hate Bluetooth.

It's not THAT bad. Maybe your phones just have a really shitty transmitter/receiver? Sure, it's not as good as it can get with a jack.

But I also don't want to have wires hanging while running or biking. Being able to change volume and songs without picking up my phone from pocket is also very convenient.

I still want a jack in my phone. But I really don't get the extreme hate on Bluetooth. It's not 2005 anymore. Bluetooth technology has progressed.

I have a pixel 6a. I have pixel buds. And I have a fossil sport gen 5 wear os watch.

Whne my phone rings, it's a crap shoot which device will output audio and receive my voice.

Bluetooth sucks donkey balls.

That's not a Bluetooth problem. It's a device problem. Google wrote shitty software.

I got some boss headphones and Jabra earbuds. Never had any of those problems with my devices. Not even when switching between devices. The boss is always connected to both my laptop and phone. And the switch between which one it should use is seemless and pain-free. But like I said. It's a question about software rather than protocol.

That's a problem with the phone, not Bluetooth itself
