I'd buy this in an instant if they would have included a headphone jack. What an idiotic design choice to make especially on a device like this
Honestly, the headphone jack days are gone and there's not a lot we can do about it.
And honestly? Wireless Bluetooth headphones/earbuds are good enough now that I don't see a need for wired ones though so I don't see what the issue ism
I'm glad that it works for you. Doesn't work for everyone, unfortunately. There are still a few brands out there that release new phones with the jack. Supporting them demonstrates that there's still a market out there. I find Bluetooth buds, even the great ones, a frustrating enough experience that I don't want to rely on ONLY that for music listening.
Same thing with small phones; there aren't many out there, but I show my support where I can. I may not be the majority but I think the jack is a large enough "niche" that it will absolutely be out there for a long time. In fact I suspect as people get tired of the $200/year (for good bluetooth buds) hamster wheel the jack will actually increase in popularity. But it takes time for all of those bluetooth buds to break down on people, and for people to decide that enough is enough.
Fair enough. I've only ever bought one pair of wireless earbuds though that I got around 3-4 years ago so I didn't realize it was common to have to buy new ones frequently.
