Just leave one of these on your headphones and you'll never know the difference.

I don't want to. And I don't want to carry one around with me everywhere. I use several different types of wired headphones. Plus the convenience of being able to plug into basically any sound system is unmatched. Still plenty of cars that just use aux cords. Plenty of speaker systems that are easier to connect to with a headphone cord and sound better.

And my final point is there is no practical reason to remove it it is just as easy to waterproof and it does not take up that much space.

I rather enjoy all the people telling you that your use case is invalid because of inferior compromised solutions available.

There are a bunch of people who express a strong preference for a feature, don't invalidate peoples requirements.

Doesn't matter if that feature is something you use personally or not.

What this does indicate is there is demand in the market for a GrapheneOS/CalyxOS phone with a headphone jack. This is why I'm running a Pixel 5a still!

I too still have pixel 5a. Glad somebody gets that every "solution" has been vastly inferior to just a headphone jack

I use bluetooth headset when i'm at home to watch videos, but if i take a call, i plug in my wired headphones to get reliability and clarity. When i go out into the city I only have a pair of wired headphones in my man purse.

I'm multimodal and I like it!

Nothing is worse then being on a group chat and somebody is fighting their bluetooth with extra delays or scratchy audio... I dont want to be that guy
