Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?

    1. I don’t want to scramble round in the dark looking for a Bluetooth “bud” when it inevitably falls out in the night
    2. I don’t want to have to charge yet more stuff
    3. I don’t want full on Bluetooth headphones, I have Sony MDR7506 when I want quality audio & a set of small in ear Sennheiser for nighttime podcasts

    The point is, the dongle is simply not a good solution

      You can buy a small Bluetooth/3.5mm adapter. I have one for my amp when I want to play music through it. It also works with earphones. It’s about the size of a credit card but obviously thicker.

          If they mean what I think they do… There are Bluetooth ->3.5 “adapters”… E.g. Bluetooth source (phone), analog output (headphones). Logitech has/had one and it works well.
