It’s absolutely a personal preference. Some people don’t care, others do. A 3.5mm headphone jack is a requirement for any phone that I buy along with a micro SD card slot. It’s getting more and more difficult to find devices that meet those requirements but that’s a choice that I make. Along with unlockable bootloader and the ability to be rooted, but that’s a whole different issue.
3.5mm headphone jack just works with anything you plug into it and it has for decades. No pairing, no charging headphones or earbuds, no latency, better sound quality, no having to choose between charging the device and having audio output OR find the right OTG dongle.
A lot of people don’t care about this at all and that’s fine. But for those of us who do I really hope that these options don’t disappear entirely just to sell more Bluetooth earbud garbage and cloud storage subscriptions.

I have a laptop running Linux Mint I only use for hosting bar trivia. I only need it to run like 4 applications but I need them to run flawlessly. The last time I updated it jacked up my soundboard, which I didn’t notice until I was in front of a crowd and it played the wrong sound effects. Never again.
Thanks for the detailed info!
I use PocketCasts but all of the responses here are making me consider trying out AntennaPod.
Root the phone and remove insane garbage like that. Rip and tear until it is done.
Nobody tell Bruce Greene
Debt. Is that an option? If so where do I sign?
As someone who has wanted an Eigenharp since they were first announced years ago but could never afford one this seems like an awesome (if not quite as polished) alternative.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass… and I’m all out of bubble gum.
