Alternatively, if your current phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

    Nah, once I made the switch to Bluetooth 8 years ago or something. I have never gone back.

    Actually I did once between Bluetooth headsets and the first time the cords got tangled I was like oh right that’s why.

      They’re fine if you’re just listening to music or watching videos but they’re totally unusable for gaming. The latency is just too high.

      A jack is an absolute must have for me and if a phone doesn’t have one I’ll use a USB-C dongle.

        Hm, that’s a good point, although I don’t play games on my phone so I haven’t experienced that.

        I guess if you’re a heavy phone gamer and you have the worst bt, the latency could become a pain.

        That makes me think of a guy pretending to surf on the roof of his car complaining about the traction. Like that’s not what cars are for, but the roof of a car undeniably has poor grip.
