I second that

YES! Add to that an MP3 player. I know, phones play audio... but the quality is not the same.

You can get earphone with usb c connectors. I have a pair.

I've only ever worn wired earphones

I still use them... I love my wired earphones!

I need them for many reasons. I would lose my phone without them

Nah. Cords get caught on things. No likey.

I have AirPods and Skull Candy Indys, and I still buy an adaptor for my corded headphones lol

My friends husband has lost three sets of wireless earbuds. Not sure how much they cost, but she said she's not buying anymore for him.

absolutely

I have an iPod Shuffle. No bluetooth, so I have to have headphones wired.

Absolutely. 3.5 jack on phones is essential.

I still use then too lol

I hate blue tooth accessories. Can't even tell how charged they are and it's just one more thing to charge in general. Not everything needs to be Bluetooth compatible.

Wired earphones are great. Except for when you catch them on a door handle, or the arm of a chair, or some other third thing. Just me?

Just buy a phone with a headphone jack. There are plenty on the market.

My phone still had this.

Just look up 'lightining jack headphones'. Amazon sells them for cheap and they fit into the charging jack of Iphones. I also prefer wired headphones - better, more stable audio, not signal-dependent.

Ear phones are also healthier for people, than having a phone up against their skin. I always use my wired ear phones, and I won't touch earbuds > I don't need yet one more "signal" being transferred through my body. Yuck!

News alert - there are plenty of cheap phones available with 3.5 jacks. It's your obsession with having the most upto date smart phone that's the problem. In the UK you now need a smart phone to get into your government account, aquire a new passport, park your car in most cities, book a doctors apointment some places.... the list goes on. Which means that to be a fully functioning citizen... sorry, 'subject'... of this nation you have to a tithe to the phone companies. They are the new church of consumerism. I tried to fight back but you all made it it impossible... by letting them take our freedom away in exchange for not having to push a few buttons now and again!

they have better sound quaIity, too

But I don’t have a cell phone.

And you can legitimately use them on an aeroplane.

I still use an MP3 player for music on the bike. Can plug it in to the stereo, and don't have to worry if I forget to take it with me

I have some. They're great

Throw away your apples and try any other brand my Samsung has a 3.5 head phone spot

I have wired earphones and I don't regret a thing!

Nah, gimme the 6.3mm jack

I am a fan o neckbands. Wireless, I am not going to lose them, long battery life, ANC. "true wireless" ssssssucks.

Nope. It's a standard that has existed for 145 years, it's time has passed. It's an additional point of complexity, AND failure and the number of people who've ended up with cracked screens or destroyed devices because they have their $7 earphones tethered to their $1000(+) device is laughably high. Add to that the amount of money you spend replacing those "cheap" i-don't-need-to-worry-about-losing-them headphones, and it's much more attractive to have ONE pair of bluetooth headphones that you can just toggle a setting on any given device to connect to instantly without having to screw around with wires. First bluetooth headphones i got cost $40, lasted for 8 years, and held a 30 hour charge with the BT 2.1 standard. Anything over BT 5 and your connection is strong and clear within about 60 feet of whatever you're connected to. Functionality beats nostalgia every single time.

Well this individual has made me hate light switches I didn’t know existed.

Especially on cars!

Taking physical notes prevented my a** from searching for the "Id-10-t form" in the very beginning of my USAF career. Thankfully I took notes and was observant to what I wrote.

Even more so if the handle is not plastic, so you can sear a steak on it and finish it in the oven! And finally you make a pan sauce with it as well.

Physical media will always be better than digital. I don't mind digital, but when the cash runs out or the internet/power fails (could be short or long term), what's going to entertain you? Your phone won't live forever. Board games fall into this category too!

But how else can you air fry from the bathtub, Luddite?

I don’t really understand the purpose of watches with screens anyway, it’s basically just an even smaller phone
