On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

      If they were wired I bet you’d have to untangle them

      I never have to untangle my IEM cables. A civilized person keeps their IEM-s in the carry case when not in use.

        Cool. You know that the majority of people have no clue what that even is, and that wouldn’t apply to those folks.

        Anyway Congratulations on having a nice investment piece for your audio enjoyment

          A pair of 40€ Denons is not really an “investment piece”, even though they have lasted me for 10 years.

            I’m not super versed on monitors outside of stage performances, and I didn’t do acquisitions. Don’t most people who use IEM’s for standard audio use a nice driver or prefer a device with a good audio out and lossless format compatibility? I guess I kinda assumed if you cared enough to distinguish using monitors instead of earbuds you care about other factors too.

      Last time I tried to use wired headphones for work, the connection snapped off in the port. I’m definitely good to stay away from wired headphones for everything other than my computer.
