A usb c to aux adapter is under $5 You can get usb c headphones for under $10
The bigger problem as is really emphasized by this post is that people just don’t care how their actions are affecting others. If I am using Bluetooth headphones and the battery dies that means I don’t get to listen to music anymore, it doesn’t mean now everyone else has to listen to my music.
Not really the point, it costs, people need to buy it, not doing it is easier.
My wired headphones (Sony MH410c) cost me three euros. But those were often included when buying a Sony phone. A decade ago you automatically had headphones when buying a phone.
Still doesn't make it alright, but it's let's accessible now and I can see that leading to a societal change.
The bar for not being a piece of shit shouldn’t be so low that the only way to stop people from blasting music/videos is to give them free headphones with every purchase…
The issue is not the free headphones that aren't there, it's that people think having no headphones is an excuse to create an acousting hellscape for everyone around them.
We can only solve that issue by telling people all the time until they stop doing it. It seems the reason it's happening more and more is just because many others wear headphones and stare at their phones and no longer observe their surroundings. Strange times.
Pro tip. If you turn the volume down and hold it to your ear you can still listen to whatever without anyone else hearing. Like we used to be able to hear the other end of the line without others hearing in the old days when we used phones to phone people.
My phone literally doesn't support those, pops up a little warning and everything.
USB Sound card with an OTG adapter works but like, come, that's horseshit.
There are many USB-C audio dongles with an integrated dac. You just happened to buy one without a dac, and is thus not supported by your phone
Sweet, now how do i put a USB-C port on my phone
There are some old iPhones that you can get a lightning to aux adapter for also under $5 but besides that what phone doesn’t come with a usb C and doesn’t have an aux?
The point really doesn’t change though, if you don’t have headphones that work then don’t listen to anything instead of disturbing others
