honestly, i had completely forgotten that some phones, for some completely unfathomable reason, lack an audio jack of any kind. if you are suffering through that, you have my condolences.
I looked at the list… It seems that almost all of them are mid/low budget phones, while high end phones rarely come with a jack. As much as it pains me to say it, it makes sense, since people who buy expensive phones probably can afford a wireless set while people who buy budget phones are less likely to buy wireless headphones.
And you’d wrong again, because all mayor manufacturers offer affordable wireless headphones as well. You can get a decent pair for as low as $20 and great wireless headphones with active noise cancelling for $50.
I’m using heaphones made for the best audio quality, i use a quarter jack to my audio card or, for my phone, just add an adapter to 3.5.
But my phone is getting old, is it possible to keep a good audio quality, and the heaphones wich sound i like, but through bluetooth?
Because i’ve never experienced any good bluetooth converter, and neither did i found any good bluetooth headphones, and let’s be honest i kinda don’t want to buy a new expensive one after getting mine wich was already pretty expensive…
My $200 bluetooth earbuds are adequate at best but in no way compare to my Sony wired studio monitors that cost half the price. I paid for wireless for work calls hands free.
They wireless is nice for a quick walk to the grocery store or something outside, but if I am wanting to really listen to music I plug in.
You want a bluetooth DAC. FiiO makes some decent ones. Only downside might be audio latency, but the quality should be there for budget audiophile headphones like the HD6XX
Most wireless earbuds will become useless bricks since they are designed to be really hard to repair and batteries degrade with charge cycles. So while you can get an earbud on a budget, they will need to be replaced much more frequently than a wired pair of earbuds at the same price.
I got mine pre-covid in 2019 for 30 bucks and they still hold over 4 hours playback time on a single charge and around 4-5 full charges in the charger box.
9/10ths of the 2/3 of the phones that have jacks are low tier cheapo phones. Only a few of the higher end specd android phones have audio jacks. The boost mobile phone you get from Walmart for $49 has the audio jack.
why aren’t phones and shit made with 1/4" jacks instead of 3.5mm jacks?
Ftfy: why aren’t phones made with jacks?

If the only tool you have is a jack, every problem looks like a pallet.
Phones ≠ pallets
they are if you look outside apple
Most android phones don’t have these… The only brands I have seen that still make phones with headphone jacks are Asus and Sony…
My wife’s new Samsung has a headphone jack and I refuse to buy a new phone without one.
Wrong. According to GSMArena data 286 Android phone models with 3.5mm jack were released only this year out of 454 total, therefore almost 2/3 of Android devices still come with headphone jack.

What kind of dumdum buys a “high end” android phone?
9/10ths of the 2/3 of the phones that have jacks are low tier cheapo phones. Only a few of the higher end specd android phones have audio jacks. The boost mobile phone you get from Walmart for $49 has the audio jack.
Because good luck finding a phone nowadays that’s at a bit thicker than 1/4". (It’s a shame really; I kinda miss those older, thicker phones…)
