Iām fascinated by this apparently critical sliver of venn diagram between āI value audio latency/marginal improvement in quality highly enough to be inconvenienced by messing with a headphone cable while on the goā vs āa dongle is too inconvenientā.
*Apparently this is a really hot take. My point being the convenience gap between cable vs no cable is so much larger than the gap between dongle vs no dongle that I donāt understand how itās a dealbreaker.
Using a dongle is in no way a replacement for a real headphone jack. A dongle on a phone is a one way ticket to a broken usb c port. Itās not meant to be pocketed with a dongle attached. Headphone ports are supported and able to better handle the stress (if made properly).
Just give us a phone with the single most common port in use by our species that is standardized across all nations on our planet: 3.5mm audio port. I donāt care if it makes the decice .0000001mm thicker. I donāt care if it adds $.01 to the BOM cost of the phone. Go fuck yourself, manufacturers, I WANT MY GODDAMN HEADPHONE JACK BACK YOU BASTARDS!!!

I just want a pair of headphones that I donāt need to recharge and that wonāt inevitably die when the batteries fail.
