I use it sometimes, but used it regularly for music until I busted out an old iPod.

I use mine fairly often. I don't actually listen to music all that much but sometimes I do when my phone is my only data source, and I don't have wireless headphones.
Yup use it with multiple devices, car and headphones. Bring it bloody back. No intention of buying another overpriced accessory plain and simple
I use it several times a week. I specifically bought a phone that still had a headphone jack. I'm over bluetooth earbuds. Too expensive, too easy to lose, too easy to fall out of my ears and break.
I don’t have a headphone jack and don’t miss it. I also don’t do much of anything on my phone though. I have a laptop for most things.
I don't have one. When I did I used it every day.
Now I have a stupid dongle which I use nearly every day.
I used to, but recent budget wireless (Earfun, Soundcore, et al.) are getting good enough to compete with wired for me. Having things like multipoint pairing which is obviously not possible with wired is hard to go back from once you get used to it.
I do, I like that I don't have to worry about charging
I would if I had one. I still use wired headphones so I have to either use specific usb headphones (which are not my favourite kind) or a dongle so I can use my preferred headphones which are a pair of over ear clip on ones. There are no wireless versions of those kinds of headphones.
3 times a week for about 2 hours each.
Daily. Mostly Spotify and Youtube or when I don't want to listen to my wife.
Whenever I'm in the car I use it to plug my phone into the Aux port. I also like to play rhythm games on my phone and Bluetooth has too much of a delay.
Currently never, but that's because i dont go out much. If I went out more, even just for jogging. I would be extremely frustrated that my current phone doesn't have a jack. Currently I have to have to so everyone around me can hear my phone as I don't have a converted or a wireless headphone.
I use it all the time. And I would argue that the question should be "what's the intelligence distribution of people using cabled data links over those preferring wireless?" :p
Since I went bluetooth I have to charge constantly which is annoying. But at the same time while I was wired the cBle always got in the way in a way so the phone would fall on the street or some hard floor at least omce but sometimes twice a year and breal.
Since I'm on bluetooth I didn't break any screen in the last 5 years. I'M NOT GOING BACK TO WIRED, IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE.
I use it less and less. I was still using wired headphones quite often when I got my current phone couple years ago but since then I switched to BT in like 95% of cases. The remaining 5% is mostly travelling. Noise cancelling headphones are too big to carry and small BT headphones don't have enough battery for a long trip. In a couple of years when I'll be changing my phone it will still be be really nice to have mini jack in it but if there's no reasonable option I might do without.
I've been using my wire headphones for over 10 years until recently. I've moved to Shockz, it's more convenient but the sound lacks bass.
Would be using it pretty much every day, my car doesn't have bluetooth so I need to rely on a casette to aux converter that I stick in the tape slot. Then I end up needing to plug my (jackless) phone into a lightning to aux dongle, plug that into the aux for the cassette converter, and then finally swap to the tape deck. Super annoying and would be slightly less-so with a jack.
I got a Bluetooth tape adapter. Had to try a few because some are real ass.
Have you tried a Bluetooth FM transmitter? I have one plugged into the cigarette lighter that my phone connects to and I just tune my radio into the same frequency to hear it. They're pretty cheap and even has buttons on it to skip tracks.
Lately I've been using my Bluetooth headphones more, because of the noise cancelling. However, I still use my phone's headphone jack about once a week.
On my iPad I almost never use Bluetooth headphones because I mostly only use it for note taking with the Apple Pencil so I take it where I go often and hate having it auto connect/disconnect to my Bluetooth headphones when I'm not even using my iPad. And because Apple the quick toggle to turn off Bluetooth only works until the next day. So I almost exclusively use the jack on my iPad and I'm mad they got away with removing it on the tablets and all the Android OEMs followed through (except Samsung).
I use bluetooth when I'm out and wired when I'm home
I probably would if I had one. I used it all the time on the last phone I had that did have it.
When I got my iPhone without a headphone jack, I went out and bought a nice Bluetooth headset. I did use it a lot at the time, but just recently rediscovered it after a couple years lost. It turns out that I prefer speakers for audio/video and only use headphones for calls … for work I prefer wired headphones because they always work, whereas Bluetooth keeps begetting confused whether I am in the office or at home, but that’s not in mobile
Everyday
Most of the time I use Bluetooth headphones, but when I'm in the mood to listen to some good quality music, I switch to wired headphones... Probably a few times per month and only at home.
All my headphones are wired so daily. I have a dongle for an iPad I use frequently and it works fine but charging it is a drain.
I use it every day so for me is still a big must have. I also use it for 8 hours straight at work
I refused to get a phone without one for quite a long while and finally caved. I haven't used wired headphones in years but I hate that there isn't the option anymore as a default.
