      Removing the jack doesn't make any sense other than just moneymilking.

      Don't do this.

        Nope, I'm out then! Pixel is too expensive to have compromises like this. Back to Oneplus it is

          if anyone can handle the price of this phone, is the one you should buy, dont go to samsung, iphone, sony, xiaomi..... etc.... is all about give and take, google is a company that gives not only taking.... dont forget about youtube,wikipedia,android,google,drive, adsense..... google give the opportunity to give you something not only profiting by your pocked.....

          So if you are a little realistic and fair and you could handle the price you should buy from google, there are so many people in this world working at their home just by google.

                  I don't believe this, I need clear evidence, not just rumour,it will be unwise to ditch it just to copy Apple... Apple has wireless headphones(Beats) which cost as much as a midrange Android phone, Google doesn't

                      Please leave that 3.5mm jack alone. Instead of ditching that legendary port, shave off those vertical bezels.

                        RaghavaZ, 08 Mar 2017Cheapest earphones sound better than the cheap BT headsets.... moreDo yourself a favor and see if you can even tell the difference.
                        And nobody's stopping you for using your audiophile headsets if you want to. There are adapters. They even include USB-C to audio with the Moto Z. Maybe you should stop whining and grow up. We have all the technologies for wireless charging and wireless audio, but grandpas like you prefer tangling yourself with your cables. Good thing is technology will move forward whether you like it or not.

                          Someone Else, 08 Mar 2017"most feature phones in the past don't have headphone jack.... moreIs music the only use for headphones? Don't think so. People has been using headsets for handsfree use for ages, and these were using proprietary jacks on feature phones. Nobody was complaining back then.

                          And yes, actually many feature phones prior to smartphones can play music if you actually know how to use one. And people did use them.

                                      If that is really the case, then Google will have lesser sales than even their Pixels, which isn't that great. There are lots of earphones made by different brands that have stellar audio quality to chose from. The BT headsets still no where close to the basic ones in sound quality then why there is a need to remove the jack?
