MODERATORS
Ah, another post on a great new addition to the Fairphone lineup, another post where the top comments are complaining about because there is no headphone jack, they won't consider it.
Y'all seriously have your priorities messed up if that's what keeps you from supporting Fairphone. If having a device with a headphone jack is that important to you, invest in a dedicated audio player. You can get some with high quality DAC's and more. But seriously, y'all need to cope about the Fairphone not having a single feature you want being a total deal breaker. That's honestly petty...
How about, fuck no.
People have a right to demand a very simple feature that costs almost nothing and is incredibly useful. If that's a major requirement, then who the hell are you to say they can't depend it?
For a phone who's ethos is sustainability buying a 2nd device just for music is antithetical. When my FP3 eventually goes out of support I'll have to look elsewhere.
I've bought 2 wireless Samsung earbuds pros because 1 stopped working. The second one also stopped working so I bought 10 dollar wired earbuds and haven't had an issue. I wasted like 250 dollars before finding a 10 dollar solution.

This seems to kill my USB C Port, as the dongle is attached while I move around and I've already destroyed 2 USB C DACs and 1 phone port.
I have switched to Bluetooth because of that, but a headphone jack would be really nice, because I do have some custom in-ears and some nice over-ears around, which I now never use...
