    I use wireless... but mostly because most producers removed jack! :(

      Wired for me all the way. I still remembered the day when my old Android phone's Bluetooth went crazy after a software update, that is where I decided to ditch wireless audio altogether. Came the day when I discovered the LG V50 with its Quad DAC feature early last year, and I miss wireless audio even less than before. I still cannot believe to this day on how much the Quad DAC feature can really boost up the audio quality, even with my $20 used on-ear Pioneer headphone. Sure that wireless audio wins for portability, but the sound quality is still the wired audio's big forte and I deeply value the latter.

      Oh btw, there's another reason why I don't use wireless audio anymore: https://imgur.com/gallery/sWLCWZQ

        Kangal, 31 Jan 2021I haven't checked the polls yet, but they should be do... morePeople are have different needs than you, this is something you will learn once you're no longer a child

        I find the in-ear headphones the most secure, and they're just as washable as the on ear type because of the removable ear-tip.
        They offer better seal so improved quality over the on-ear type as well, so a convenient middle-ground when I am unable to use an over-ear pair

        But that's just my opinion, my needs are different to yours, no need to assume of others jeez

          I use apple wired headphones with strange Samsung silicone adapter because it much comfortable in my ears, even without the silicon cover i still use iPhone wired headphones, if I can i use the iPhone it's self, the best sound without Dolby Atmos or LDac, akg head phones are still in the box, i try them but they sound horrible like Huawei headphones and i try others like wireless headphones but for me it's not ok to spend 200€ for a wireless headset, i wanted them yes, but it's not worth it right now!

            Where's the option of "all of them" in the first poll? 😅😅

              I use astell and kern Michelle limited as it sounds awesome, no need truely wireless for my usage, but I do occasionally use wh-1000xm3 every so often.

                Jabra 75t & 85h. Both are great! 👍

                  Sony wf xm3!!!! 💕👑

                    Me personally?
                    I don't like in-ear sets because they're unhealthy, dangerous, and uncomfortable.

                    I use on-ear, eg Classic style/EarPod, as that is more comfortable, they do not stretch the inside of my ear canal, when yanked out they don't hurt, they're more hygienic, and if there's a car approaching me from behind I can hear it (ambient noise). These are pocketable in my jeans, and go anywhere.

                    If I want higher fidelity sound, I move to the over-ear style, eg Sony XM4.
                    This still has high level of comfort, much better bass than in-ear, much better sound isolation and cancellation, they're hygienic, and again if they get yanked out of my head they don't hurt. Highly recommended. They're not pocketable, but the good ones fold into a small hard-shell, and can be thrown into a backpack.

                    PS: there are other types of earphones, like those that go around your neck, the sunglasses-headphones, or there's the bone-conducting types as well.

                      I haven't checked the polls yet, but they should be dominated by users of in-ear and TWS earphones. And not because they're better, but because they're WORSE. People like to spend more money and buy worse products, that's how it goes now, because of marketing.

                      Companies have purposely killed the 3.5mm headphone jack for a reason. Courage, lol, I mean Greed $$$

                        those who voted wireless are probably rich.

                          CHINESE BRANDS FANS, 31 Jan 2021What's an PMP? A Portable Music Player. The things we used to call mp3 players until we stopped using mp3's. 😁

                            I use good sounding headphones and I especially like those that punch much higher above their price tag.
                            What I am not a fan of are reviews of sites/people that have zero experience, but they are fine with making claims like "it sounds good" etc.

                                This is an interesting poll. Thanks for making it.

                                Though the demographics may be skewed towards techies, it is still a good poll

                                      Please fix the first poll for mobile users (on the app; Android). It doesn't seem to work.
