Do you miss the 3.5mm headphone jack?

Goodbye, old friend.

Thanks to devices like the Google Pixel 2, HTC U11, Moto Z2 Force, and Essential Phone, the 3.5mm headphone jack is becoming more and more rare with each new phone that's released.

For some folks, the missing port isn't a big deal at all.

It's bothers the heck out of me. The connector is very stiff, unlike my headphone cable. That really makes things awkward. I researched wireless headphones, but the reviews on ALL of them suck (except the AirPods, which would never work for me). The only USB C headphones I could find are sold by Google. I think I will have to try them. I wish Shure would make a USB C cord I could put on my...

I miss it some. The dongle works fine for me though so it mitigates some of the problems. I use BT headphones too, so music listening isn't really the issue. Sometimes I need to be on a work call in my car, and don't want to use BT so I can have a better connection. There are almost zero affordable USB-C headphones with mics around. The dearth of those is amazing actually. There might be 1...
