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.

    Wireless headphones have to be charged so often, it’s just annoying. Good old trusty wired headphones never need to be charged.

      For larger models, replaceable batteries would improve this situation a lot. Of course that would hurt the manufacturers’ planned obsolescence strategy.

      Not so true. I use a set of “wireless” where the two ears are connected around the back of my neck. (A pair of beatx). These have 12hr battery and I listen a lot. I only kill the batteries on long ski days (the cold probably bring the battery life down a bit).

      All my complaints at this point are lack of options in this mostly perfect form factor.

      (Better fit in my ears, better sound, etc). This isn’t a wired/wireless problem.
