Wdym, there are adapters and natively wired USB-C headphones.
Those adapters are complete and utter shit
Because of….? Anyway I have headphones that have a lightning jack and don’t need an adapter.
You mean the proprietary ones that came with your iPhone? Well that covers every use case anyone could ever have.
It certainly covers the use case for an iPhone, right? Not sure what you're trying to say. If you don't have an iPhone why would you care if iPhones have 3.5mm jacks?
apple also makes a usb-c one, apparently it works reasonably well and is an actual DAC unlike some which are weird passive adapters that don't work through hubs.
IDK. I use one and have no problem with it. My car's bluetooth is rather unreliable at connecting, so I just us a USB C->aux cable. I've got no complaints. Is it as good a signal as a properly paired bluetooth digital audio connection? No. But it's certainly as good as the old aux->aux cables I used back in the day.
Adapters are a cop out. Just put the adapters in the phone. It also means you can't charge and listen to music.
Also while there are some natively wired usb-c headphones, I can't think of any. Any decent headphones will use a standard 3.5 or 6.5mm audio jack, and then the dac being built inwith those usb-c headphones means you can't use a seperate dac, it means you can't plug them into studio gear. It's just so incredibly limiting.
There is already a universal standard (3.5mm/6.5mm jack) it carries analog audio, why change to a digital connection which requires digital to analog conversion? Why not let the user be able to have a dedicated piece of gear to do that if they wish.
No professional equipment, or even semi professional equipment uses usb-c. It's a good old fashioned analog audio jack and it's like that for a reason
I use an adapter from Walmart and it works better than a regular aux plug in a car? Do you think that the audio signal is boosted over type c?
Maximum volume depends on which specific DAC adapter you got.
i really don't want to have to carry one more piece of junk, and while USB C is way better than alternatives, bending the dongle in your pocket while it is attached to the phone is a scary thought, wired earbuds make a hard right turn right out of the socket. The socket does fill with lint, I kind of get it that removing reduces loss of the phone from water damage or related assembly costs to making the socket not-a-water-vector
