A simple USB-C to 3.5" connector does the trick. No need for wireless headphones.
True, and if you're a music nerd or audiophile you can grab a USB-C DAC while you're at it.
I just went to get my 3.5 to usb c dongle and plug it into my iPhone. I hate that I’m so sucked into the ecosystem, but really excited about ditching my Lightning shit. 15 Pro is a step in the right direction (thanks EU) but I sorely wish Apple didn’t start the anti 3.5 revolution.
I found it's very annoying and I had two cables break on me because it sticks out more from the phone - and phones being larger with each release means we can't keep them in our pockets as we used to. Also, replacing a USB-C->jack cable is more expensive than replacing an audio cable.
The adapters are $1 on Aliexpress. Generally agree though, I'd prefer to have a headphone jack directly and be done with it.
Wut? Mind. Blown. Fr.
