Most high end noise cancelling bluetooth headphones work as you describe. Noise cancelling and Bluetooth require it to be charged, but you can plug to a cable and listen passively.
Yeah the issue we're slowly running into is that there's no more 3.5mm sockets in newer phones.
When my current phone dies it'll be a toss-up between trying to find a decent phone with a headphone socket or trying a USB C audio adaptor and see how that goes.
A $10 dongle is gonna be a lot better than limiting yourself to the obscure few phones that still have a headphone jack. They make ones that allow you to play and charge too, useful especially in cars.
