It has been almost eight years since Apple made the controversial decision to remove the headphone jack from the iPhone. While wireless earbuds have become increasingly popular, some users still prefer the simplicity of plugging in their headphones without worrying about charging them.

As a smartphone reviewer, I have tested a variety of handsets and have compiled a list of the best phones that still come with the headphone jack.
