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

I feel like every comment I'm reading assumes there's only two options - either headphone jack + wired headphones, or no headphone jack + Bluetooth.

I just use a USB-C dongle with a headphone jack on it. It'd be nice to have it built-in, sure, but the dongle is only a few bucks, small, doesn't really add a lot of extra stuff to carry if I'm already carrying headphones.

It's not a deal-breaker for my if a phone doesn't have a headphone jack because if it doesn't I can easily add one.

I have a headphone jack, but use bt headphones. having the wire hanging down while walking just seems super weird to me. i can only imagine having a jack on a handheld console because of the louder volume and much lower latency.

Fair enough. Since mine has a headphone jack, I didn't even consider this is an option. But you're absolutely right.
