The headphone jack has a long legacy in the audio world. So when Apple decided to exclude it from the iPhone 7, consumers were up in arms. In the years since, Samsung has been a champion for those who still wanted the headphone jack. Samsung even went so far as to run a headphone jack commercial mocking Apple. But with the release of the Galaxy

I don't own any headphones, but I use my aux cable daily in my car.

Ive always been a late adopter of technology (joining facebook, getting a smart phone, joining instagra, etc) and same with headphones. Still have wired ones but the left side of the current pair has stopped working, and this is like my 5th for the year, so I may need to switch to wireless.

I have one sitting in my amazon cart for a few weeks now.

I was annoyed at first with the change, and occasionally when I drop one on the ground I'm annoyed lol but I do like my Bluetooth pair overall. It's great for the gym, when wired earbuds were really bothersome, and generally being able to store my phone in my purse comfortably while walking with them in, is nice.

I have a Jabra pair, really happy with the sound quality. After 6 months my only complaint is sometimes only the right side connects and I have to re-connect for both sides to synch #firstworldproblem

Yea if I never worked out maybe I’d be happier with wired, but I love wireless at the gym. My wired headphones would get in the way very often. But eh I made it work for a long time, I can prob suck it up and do it again

I love my bluetooth earbuds for working out, so much better imo. If I need to use regular headphones, I'll use my wireless charger (Costco sells a 2 pack for $30) to charge my phone while I'm listening. I've gotten used to it.

truly life changing if you spend a lot of time on the phone for work, I love feeling like I can walk around and I no longer have to hold them to my face.
