Contrary to the popular opinion of wired audio enthusiasts across the globe, a new survey conducted by Ting Mobile, a postpaid mobile phone service provider from the US has revealed some shocking results about the views normal people have about the headphone jack.

“The data from our survey indicates that people are more conscious about things like price and basic phone functionality. They don’t care so much about having the latest, coolest tech — something that might not be great news for the big manufacturers this year,” said Andrew Moore-Crispin, Director of Content at Ting Mobile.

This definitely hints that the decision of leading smartphone brands to get rid of the headphone jack might not be as serious and critical as we think and hear about in online tech communities in the eyes of a common smartphone user.
