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.

    For me it’s always been a dumb argument. There is no good argument for not having one

    • It costs maybe £2 to add a crappy DAC, amp, and headphone jack to a phone that is already ridiculously expensive.

    • The waterproof argument was destroyed by the S5, S6, S7, S8, and S9.

    • The iPhone 7 literally had the space inside for one!

    It’s also weird to me that a lot of budget phones have them. Like why would a £200 phone have a feature a £1,000+ phone doesn’t?
