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 have the same kind of headphones. They cost $400 (at the time) and now they are useless with most devices.
I also use sleep phones at night to fall asleep to asmr and those run with cables. If my tablet didn’t have a jack I wouldn’t be able to use them, and those sleep phones are a lifeline. Being able to listen to asmr on headphones while laying on my side makes it so much easier to fall asleep. All the Bluetooth variants are cheap Chinese knockoffs that fall apart after a couple months, but the sleepphones are still working years later.
I was in a similar situation. Not sleep-phones, but just a particular type of headphones that I like. Have you thought about getting a Bluetooth receiver for them? It’s super annoying, but it’s the only way I’ve been able to keep my headphones. Just thought I’d suggest it if you hadn’t thought of this solution/kludge yet. https://www.fiio.com/btr3k
The other option is to get a USB-C adapter. https://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-play-4
Yeah I’ve been thinking about trying that actually. Even thought about trying to rewire the sleep phones to make them permanently bluetooth but didn’t want to mess them up. May try that or the adapter sometime.
