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

All these people saying they like wireless earphones are completely missing the point. Devices with headphones jacks can do both. Taking away the headphone jack means you have to rely on wireless earphones, which have all the issues the post describes.

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.
