Which is the worst thing in the world, not the best imo. It’s pretty much impossible to fan it open without trying to, the cards give enough push back that you can’t just randomly open it, but not so much that it’s hard to open either.

.Buzz Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 What kind of phone does everyone have in here? I currently have a S7 and it's nice and all, but thinking about switching it up. The Pixel 2 sounds awesome but the headphone jack is going to annoy me. Never tried the IPhones. S8 looks good as well. Will have an option to change here in a month or two over the holidays.

If you still find it necessary to use wired headphones for the majority of your listening, the S8 would be the best option. If you’re willing to go to high end Bluetooth, the Pixel 2 and new iPhone would be good options. Definitely would want to wait for the Pixel’s screen burn in issues to get fixed though.

You talking IPhone 8 or IPhone X? I do mainly use wired headphones, is the adapter thing a nuisance or? I just don't care to spend a couple hundred dollars on bluetooth headphones, at least at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adapter itself isn’t a problem, you just keep it on the end of your headphones and use that the issue would be if you were charging and trying to listen to music at the same time. You can get some good Jaybird headphones for ~$150 for their newest model, and a bit cheaper for an older version. But yeah, still see how that’s not always the easiest investment.

Yeah, I'd prefer to stay $30 or less a month for a phone...so pretty much leaves the Pixel , IPhone 8, or S8. I don't know, everything I've heard just makes me lean towards the Pixel 2 as far as all the features/the phone itself, but the whole no headphone jack is disappointing. Guess I'll just have to decide whether it's worth it or not. S8 does look really nice though, I like the full screen and sleek look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwny Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I need to get my computer set up at my new place. Have an amazing idea for a sig. Gonna be that pic of the 5 DBs looking at the Pittsburgh crowd, with the Jackson 5 script logo over it in black, then Ville written in the Jags font in teal, so it reads Jacksonville 5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwny Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You could still use your wired ones at the gym, as you probably aren’t charging the phone at the same time anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Pixel 2 doesn’t have wireless charging. That would have made using wired headphones easier, if you are comfortable with the wireless charging as your primary charge method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would for sure. Thanks for that. Thinking I'll wait to get it til when there's some type of sale at Verizon (Black Friday/Christmas).

I used a wireless charger for my S7 and it is SOOOO slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what the firmware of the phone supports, as well as the charger itself. The S7 supports fast charging, but whether you got it or not would hinge on the charger and your firmware on the phone. I’m not sure if all versions of it have the fast charging enabled.
