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?
For jogging, get an arm strap case for your phone.
Strap your phone to your bicep. Wrap extra cord into the strap.
I use one of these anytime I’m doing real outdoor activity.
Makes it harder to use my phone, helps keep me engaged with the actual world.
Keeps the phone solidly attached to me, no one could steal it and I’m not going to forget it somewhere.
Only possible issue is sweat. And if your phone can survive a light sprinkle, it ought to be fine.
I use mine with a 6.2in phone, and it isn’t cutting in or anything, but if you have a smaller frame and a larger phone… Might not workable for you.
