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.

I bought nice fancy wireless earbuds once, and lost one of them like 2 weeks in when I fell to river with bicycle. Maybe it's a 1 in a million case, but showed a good reason to not have wireless buds

TBF most likely both would've been gone by then

I had both on me when I fell, but only lost one.

Anyways, accidents are a common when doing sports so it's always a good chance to lose those small things. Clear win for wires there
