I’m very likely the minority, but the reason I still have a phone with jack is that my custom mold in-ear, well… is wired (I’m a musician).
I don’t want to use a different headphone for hearing music, as this is a really good monitor (actually I think it has cost me 10x as much as the used phone I’m driving it with (LG V30)). An external DAC is annoying, as this for one drains the battery pretty heavily and - fewer adapters less worries…
There’s other reasons why you don’t want to use bluetooth, namely latency, although probably less important, for applications where this is really relevant, you would use a dedicated audio interface anyways…
Or well, just the fact that I know of a few people already that they lost their bud(s), quite a bit more difficult if everything is wired together.
