Meh, I was more or less forced to buy a USB c only pixel phone, for my headphones to work I had to buy 4 dongles in 6 months so far, one worked but had constant static noise in the background, one straight up didn't work, one died after 3 weeks, I'm now using an apple dongle which works fine excepts it only outputs 50% of the volume on android so in a lot of places it's just not loud enough And yes I refuse to buy e waste bluetooth headphones that cost 5 times the price of wired ones, kill the battery 5 times faster and have to be trashed every other year because of glued/soldered tiny ass batteries

That’s why I bought myself a portable headphone DAC. I went for the Qudelix 5K. I can turn any headphone into a bluetooth headset, or connect them via USB-C or Lightning with the right cables.

  That's 100 euros for yet another gadget to carry with yet another soldered battery that will be a pain in the ass to replace when it inevitably dies

    Well I don’t know what you expected then. Buy a phone with a headphone jack next time, they’re still some out there.

USB C isn't really at fault for the removal of the headphone jack, other than incidentally by making it reasonable for things as small as a phone to host USB devices at all.
