I held on to my Note9 for as long as I could, but I think in a few months I’ll switch to S24 Ultra. While I’m excited for the better camera, I’ll be missing some features like the heart rate sensor, simulated home button, microSD slot, iris scanner. But the thing I’ll miss the most is the 3.5 mm jack.
While in general I’m not against bluetooth headphones, I still have 3 good wired pairs of headphones and I’ll be using them with a 3.5 to USB-C adapter until they stop working, which might take a while. What worries me the most is the fact that I’m running a lot, with my phone in my pocket and listening to music via the headphones. And I don’t mean some light jogging, I’m running fast, my phone is jumping in my pocket and I’m worried that this might damage the USB-C port on the phone.
What was your experience when you switched to the phone without the jack? Did you get used to it easily or did you miss it?
I went back to wired and only use my Bluetooth buds in the train because they have noise cancelling. Tried wireless so many times and I always switch back to my USB C buds. I hate not having the jack though because it happened so many times that I had to switch to wireless when I had to charge, or just couldn’t listen to anything if I didn’t have wireless buds. Wired is also a lifesaver when the wireless stuff runs out of battery again
