Do you still use wired headphones?

[Deleted member 660650]

yes i use wired because im scared of wireless signals

There is actually an urban legend in my country about the dangers of wired headphones:

If you walk on the underpass under a train road at midnight using wired headphones a ghost of the underpass holds the wires and entangles around your neck to choke you to death just when a train passes above so no one can hear your screams!!!! To prevent it you gotta use wireless headphones!!!!! lolol

I have several indeed.

In fact I wish Jack ports weren't removed from modern devices.

I have OEM headphones for my PSP..

 

[strawberry29]

[SKA.fman]

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: wireless headphones betrayed me
Wired supremacy

I'm horribly forgetful with charging stuff in general, so I used wired headphones still. I have a nice over-ear sound blocking pair for gaming, music, and PC stuff, and a few pairs of earbuds for on-the-go use.

I still use'em to this day. There is just something so connected about it.

Wireless for my phone, wired for the rest

I was pro-wired until I got a pair of wireless, over-the-ear, noise-cancelling headphones. They're the best pair of headphones I've ever used: perfect for use in loud environments and in the long run, protects my hearing because I don't have to raise the volume too loud to hear my music over the background noise.

The ideal is having headphones with a jack port so you could still use it as a wired one.

Always. I typically lose the wireless ones, though id also prefer when the cord isn’t too long.

 

[csanjuro]

yes, always

 

[Adachi_08]

Of course i use them when chilling on pc. Tho i have this thing that headphones im using for a phone dont last long (doesnt matter if they are wired or not)

Wireless earbuds are convenient for general use. But for rhythm games at least, I go with wired over Bluetooth for latency concerns.

I seldom use headphones though, since I prefer not to have anything on top of my head. I prefer earphones/earbuds. Currently, I'm using wired IEMs with my MP3 players.

I still haven't switched to wireless headphones! Probably never will, at least completely, but I'll get a wireless pair soon as my new phone doesn't have a jack port, in the last few weeks I've been pondering and researching which model to buy and there are so many options, some models even offer usb-c connection cables and that's really nice, I mainly want to try wireless for convenience but I don't want to sacrifice audio quality, no music is better than bad music and I can't live without

I've been using the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (80 ohm) as my daily drivers for the last 2 years now and I love them so much, I also own a pair of IEMs that I haven't used as much, the Shure SE215 Pro K, as I very much prefer over-ear and closed back headphones, in-ear are still quite new to me and they don't feel as good, though they're useful if you gotta move a lot.
