I used to be quite hardline on this, however now I use a portable DAP (Hiby R5 Gen 2) for my music. It has a class A amplifier, balanced output, a Terabyte of storage, and streams Qubuz Hi-Res. So I don’t use my phone now.
I would, but in my rush to buy a cheap one (OnePlus Nord), I forgot to check. Luckily, it’s also rather rare I need them, so I bought some even cheaper Lenovo Pro in-ears from AliExpress for 8€ which, while annoying, are acceptable for what little I need. Luckily, my computer both has proper speakers and a headphone jack.
Part of the reason is that I generally hate having to charge things. My keyboard is wired, my mouse is wireless but permanently connected via a woven USB cable.
No, I really enjoy my shokz bone conduction headphones for general work calls, audiobooks, chores, running, etc. It’s like I simply have the audio in my head.
They are Bluetooth and last all day, sometimes multiple if I’m not in meetings all day. They are waterproof, I can even swim with them.
Honestly running got me away from wired headphones the most
I don’t care about the headphone jack. Bluetooth earbuds are super convenient, and when I want higher quality I plug in a Fiio BTR5 to the USB-C port and use that to power good headphones. Way better than a built in dac/amp would be.
I have it but I have never used it. I’ve been using my Galaxy note 9 user since December 2018. I have active noice cancelling headphones for most scenarios and true wireless earphones for gym.
