    There’s nothing stopping you from continuing to use wired headphones with devices without 3.5mm jack. In fact, I often do when listening to music critically.

    The official Apple 3.5mm-to-USBC plug, at $9, is apparently a very very good DAC for the price, but I find it a bit too flimsy for my taste.

      Yeah nice, I bought one when I had a phone with no jack. But how to charge then? Well, buy a combo plug that splits a mini jack and a USB C socket. Should work right? Well, massive noise when charging and listening at the same time.

      I’ll just go for a modular phone so I can repair it myself or do upgrades and with a mini jack socket. It has Bluetooth so works with wireless too. I love to have options and control over my devices.

          I’m not interested in solutions to problems I don’t have. You just offer solutions in the form of buying more junk, while all I’m asking for is the return of the jack plug in every phone (and replaceable batteries and other components) so people have choices and can repair their own device. Also, the phone I once had didn’t have a jack port and also didn’t have wireless charging so your solution doesn’t always work. And wireless charging is really slow. Max wattage is 15, while wired my current phone can handle 65 Watts.

            Sounds like you’ve got it all figured out. Wonder why you take my choices so personally?
