We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
I bought wired USB-C earbuds for 8€, connected them to my jackless phone, and they work. I understand manufacturers like Fairphone who don’t have a jack, because USB can already output digital audio. This means the headphones need a built-in DAC, but I’m okay with it.
