All other Google Pixel models — like the Pixel 2, 3, 4, and 5 — don’t have a headphone jack, unless you connect a special adapter. If your Google Pixel doesn’t have a headphone jack, you may want to invest in wireless Bluetooth headphones, or a headphone jack adapter.
As of now, Google sells four Pixel devices on its official Google Store. You have the standard Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, and then the Pixel 5a 5G and Pixel 4a. While the latest flagships are without a headphone jack, both Pixel 5a 5G and Pixel 4a come with the life-saving audio jack.
While the Pixel 2 and 3 notably lacked a headphone jack, the newly announced Google Pixel 3a phones follow in the path of the original Pixel by featuring one. The new Google Pixel 3a phones have a headphone jack. The Pixel 3a XL with a headphone jack (left) and the Pixel 3 XL without a headphone jack (right).
No, Pixel 6 will not have a headphone jack – it’s particularly surprising since both phones look large enough to support it. It’s only been two months since their Pixel 5a video, The Circle Comes Full Circle, hilariously parodied Apple’s sleek adverts to point out the importance of the headphone jack.
Does the pixel 5 have a headphone jack?
The Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 were the first to forego the headphone jack that the original Pixel featured, and the Pixel 4 and Pixel 5 followed suit. Instead of a headphone jack, these devices only have a single USB-C port, which you can use with an adapter, or dongle, to connect to standard headphones.
Can you get wireless headphones for your Pixel phone?
You could also get a pair of wireless headphones and be done with the hassle of plugging in. Google currently sells the Pixel A Buds on its official website. You can get one for as low as $99. Which Pixel phones currently selling have a headphone jack?
If you want to connect your headphones to your Pixel 4 you’ll need a pair of Bluetooth headphones, a USB-C set or – if you’re not ready to part with those trusty 3.5mm earphones – a USB-C to jack adapter. Unlike Apple back in the day (famously the first to ditch the headphone jack in 2016) Google doesn’t pack a headphone adapter in the box.
Why doesn’t the pixel 6 have an audio connector?
The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are certainly large enough to support it. The industry used to cite waterproofing as one reason for the lack of the audio connector, but the 5a manages while featuring IP67. Of course, the big argument is the rise of Bluetooth headphones replacing the old technology.
When did the first phone with a headphone jack come out?
Apple’s announcement came months before the original Google Pixel, which featured a standard headphone jack, made its debut on the phone market in October 2016. So what about Google’s newer phones?
