- bigstrat2003 13 hours agoStill no headphone jack, which is a real bummer. Unfortunately it's not really for me with that limitation.[-]

I really miss the jack.

- bpev 4 hours agoI’ve used many brands of these at various price points (and also usb-c headphones). They work fine for like a month, but the connection degrades over time (maybe it wears out or gets dirty?), and I haven’t found a way to recover stability once it starts to randomly disconnect. It’s super annoying because when it disconnects, the software doesn’t handle it well, and I usually have to unplug it, plug it back in, unpause the music, and hope it doesn’t do it again as I gingerly place it back in my pocket. Basically, I think that USB-c is just not as consistent or sturdy of a port when you’ve got the playback device moving around in your pocket.
- brokenmachine 12 hours agoAgreed. What phone would you recommend?
I want a flagship phone with a headphone jack.
Looks like the only option nowadays is the Asus Rog Phones or Asus Zenfone Ultra.
