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 tried but can't find any. they're Pioneer wired earbuds with ear hooks (sports style), black in color, and were quite inexpensive - about 13€ IIRC. i got them in some local store

i have them for about 7, 8 years and, while i haven't used them daily for all that time, i've done so extensively, a lot of times outside, while running and in different circunstances where i have not always been very careful with handling the wires

i'm quite amazed at their durability - something i am very fond of in the items i use frequently and that often frustrates me

edit: to add that also the sound quality is quite good, and they even cancel a decent chuck of outside noise! this is some good sh*t man

since i'm selling them so well and i can't find a reference in the webs or in the object itself, here's a photo
