On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

I bought a USB-to-aux adapter because my current phone does not have a headphone jack and my vehicle doesn't have Bluetooth. I use it literally every day, sometimes for hours. It's utter nonsense that they are getting rid of them.

Your vehicle could have Bluetooth for about $20. Just sayin'.

Those radio tuner transmitters are fucking terrible.

I'm talking about Bluetooth receivers you can plug into your aux port.

I'm aware. I've been through half a dozen of them and don't want to buy another. An aux cord costs $5 and last practically forever unless you abuse them. My car has built-in Bluetooth, but it has a weird delay and randomly disconnects, mutes, or starts changing what I'm playing on my phone like a remote is pressing buttons.
