Yeah I'm not really a fan of wireless headphones, personally. I'd just like to use my DT 770s to listen to music on my phone without having to bring an extra adapter with me everywhere, and while being able to charge the phone at the same time if necessary.

I assume a version exists for USB-C but my Lightning to 3.5mm headset adapter also includes a Lightning charger port so I can charge my phone at the same time.

Ever since the iPad Pro came out, Appe has had a first-party 3.5 female to USB-C dongle for wired audio

Not to sound like a paid Apple marketer, but I think there's a distinction between wireless headphones and using AirPods with an iPhone. It's not like it's a herculean effort to use wireless headphones with a standard bluetooth connection, but it's enough of an awkward series of moves that I never enjoyed it. But I have to give Apple credit that AirPods (with an iPhone) just work way more seamlessly, to the point where the idea of quickly tossing them in and out of my ears isn't an annoyance. If I'm playing a video game and I want to listen to a podcast, I pop one into my ear, press play on my phone and I'm listening. When I'm done I simply put it in the case and it disconnects and is charging. I have a pair of Sony XM3's but as soon as I got the AirPods I basically never touched them again.

  Using AirPods with an iPhone really is great. The annoying thing is my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones connect to a Google pixel very similarly to how AirPods connect to an iPhone. I wish that pairing process were more open on iPhone because it really does improve the Bluetooth experience, which is otherwise dreadful compared to the simplicity of a headphone jack. It would have been nice to see Apple add that feature and the headphone jack back with this update. They’ve captured the wireless market. Now give us a standard connector again.
