I don't particularly miss the jack. I lost the jack when i went to a 7+ in 2016. Personally on the go I use a decent bluetooth headphone, and have done for the past 2 years. At home I use a proper amplifier set up for my headphones. If I do wish to listen with a wired set the cheap dongle provided by apple is good enough, and if I want better amplification I'll strap a portable headphone amp to it. I'm a bit of an outlier however, most people prefer to use one set of headphones across all their stuff - I have quite a few sets... Edit: however I do lament the choice being taken away from me.
