We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

As someone who loves and needs wired headphones but loves the convenience of BT - The solution is a Bluetooth dongle.

  • Plug your amazing headphones into the dongle
  • Keep the dongle in your pocket
  • Cable won't get caught as much
  • Cable won't suffer as much wear
  • Phone is much easier to handle
  • If the headphone jack gets glitchy and bad it's cheaper to replace a dongle than a phone

Downside: Many (most?) BT dongles have shitty audio quality so you need to find a good one.

A Bluetooth dongle still requires batteries that would otherwise not be needed.

You are just moving the problem.

You can get a USB-C to Aux adapter for your phone. It's my way of still doing this.

All you need is a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter, folks.

Apple sells one for just $9 that has a top notch DAC, in case that's a selling point for you audiophiles.
