When I&amp;#x27;m at work, I plug in my plantronics headset for conference calls, and my regular cans when I&amp;#x27;m listening to music. Airpods don&amp;#x27;t have the stamina to keep up with a long day of work, nor the sound quality I want - they are a compromise device.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t really care about this debate too much anymore, since it seems that a few good manufacturers are still clued in that this is an actual need that a lot of people have (I&amp;#x27;ve been using a Moto G5, and now I&amp;#x27;m using an S9). But it is odd to still pushing the claim that &amp;quot;everyone got over it&amp;quot; with regards to headphone jacks - I never got over it, and I continue to vote with my wallet.</text></comment>

Just bought a pixel 3a to replace my galaxy s8 that broke.  The headphone jack was probably the single biggest influence on what I bought.  That along with price, camera and iFixit repair score made the 3a hard to pass up.</text></comment>
