- wl 8y agoI'd rather keep the 1/8" to 1/4" adapter on it. Lightning or USB C means now I have two adapters to carry around.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoIt shouldn't be required either way, but I've occasionally zip-tied two adapters together so I can swap between them quickly.
- skgoa 8y agoCorrect. It really isn't a big deal.
- Zach_the_Lizard 8y agoUntil you want to charge and listen to music at the same time, which I wanted to do on a flight recently. I had to charge up to what I thought was enough and then put the headphones in. Annoying. My wife also brought Lightning headphones, which didn't work with anything except her phone, leading to her using the cheap airline ear buds for the in flight entertainment system.

- konart 8y ago>but I imagine that I would just leave the adapter on them 24/7? Except people often use same headphone with both - phone and pc, so you will have to remove the adapter anyway.
- qwertay 8y agoThats one of the most fatal flaws. Apples proprietary plugs aren't even standard across their own devices.
- lagadu 8y agoI take it you only use one set of headphones and that you only ever connect them to the phone?
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoI think it might be slightly annoying to have a two-inch-long dongle hanging off your phone at all times, particularly on a brand of phone that's specifically marketed (and purchased) for being sleek and clean-lined.
