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 have an old-ass Chevy Blazer as my beater. Its head unit needs an aux input. Otherwise, I have no need for aux in my life.

    I keep my S9+ for that purpose. I also have 2 HP-GS1 Ghosts that I keep around in case I need the jack. Those are modded. I couldn’t bring myself to ruin the awesome One UI 2.5 interface on the S9+ so it just runs Android 10 for now.

    I handle it… sadly. Mostly because I can see the downgrades from that old S9+ to my current Ultra or even my older S20FE and 21 FE’s.
