Cellphones in the US don’t have headphone jacks anymore? I thought that was just an Apple thing. My Redmi has almost everything in that drawing except its not customizable.
Almost all the smartphones around the world don’t have a headphone jack, there are some exceptions to this rule but in general that’s the “trend”
Almost all the smartphones being sold around the world*
If we consider the smartphones in use, I’m not sure this would be the case
Oh, I see. Seems like a recent change, both my mom and my sis’ phones all have jacks, but none of us ever cared on staying on top of things when it comes to electronics releases. I’ve done a brief search, and seems a few new models of Xiaomi still come with them, but I don’t believe those are sold in the US.
It’s recent on a relative scale but ancient news in the technology world. They’ve been disappearing since Apple started it in like 2016.
Does everyone clamoring for a return to the 3.5mm headphone jack not realize USB-C headphones exist?
It’s nice to be able to listen to music and charge your phone at the same time, without the need for a splitter cable.
That would only be a real solution if manufacturers included two USB-C ports, and at that point just include a headphone jack so people aren’t limited in which headphones they can use if they don’t want to have to keep track of stupid little adapters that get lost.
Works, but isn’t the same. Needs one more stuff to buy and carry around, and can’t be used while charging and connected to a device via usb
Some of us are very happy with our current headphones and don’t want new ones. Plus as others said the charging thing.
if you’re talking about headphones that are only USB-C, that’s a no-go. i plug my headphones into more than one device any given day. Switch can do USB-C audio, but anything retro can’t and i spend a lot of time at the arcade.
if you’re talking about adapters, before switching away from Apple i did use the official lightning-3.5mm adapter: it worked, but even those official adapters would become flaky after 6-7 weeks of daily use. couldn’t walk and listen to music at the same time because the phone acted as if the headphones were being connected and disconnected every time i took a step. went through 3 of them before giving up and switching back to a phone with 3.5mm.
so, idk. 3.5mm just works. USB-C doesn’t just work. music + messaging + reading are the primary things i use my phone for. an “upgrade” isn’t an upgrade if it’s worse at one of those things without being better at any of them.
i totally agree thad usb c is the future connector for most things, but currently every device besides phones offers a headphone jack… because most headphones bein produced rn use headphone jacks-… yea-
so, if u use any device which is not a smartphone but wana use the headphones on it, those headphones better not be usb c…
I realize those exist enough to also realize I do not want the USB-C connector to get damage due to torsion and stress when having connected a thing for which a connector which naturally allows rotation is far more senseful.
If USB-C had been made round (so as to avoid the Schrödinger plugging issue common to all USB standards so far) this wouldn’t be a problem.
I already have headphones I love with a 3.5mm jack. I hate having to use a fragile adapter to use them.
Sony’s flagships still have one and apperantly a pretty good one. Although their newest phone costs 1500€ which is like nope not for me. It also supports SD card slot
the moto g series still has headphone jacks
