I will never understand 1/8” jack wanters. Why not just get a dongle? If you want to listen and charge at the same time get one with passthrough. If you’re using a $500 pair of headphones use a good dac.

As the owner of probably a dozen pairs of nice corded headphones, what’s the big deal?

    A dongle is one more thing to buy/break/get lost.

    I’m actually with you there. I switched to bt headphones in part to get rid of my coiled up corded headphone pocket. You can’t carry anything else with em or else it’s a fiasco getting it out (and in the process tears up your cord).

    Yeah why would I want the clearly superior option instead of bandaid solutions...

    What’s superior about not using a dongle?

    Back when that was how I went around, the break point in the cable saved me a few times.

    How would it not be? -I don't need a dongle that I can lose. (You might never use your earphones with another device, but I do, so the dongle will need to get unplugged from the earphones at some point) -I can use earphones at the same time as charging. -A dongle is one more thing that can break. -I'm not stressing a port with something that it really wasn't meant for

    Also, when I have a headphone jack, I still have the option to use a dongle or bluetooth, so nothing is lost by having the port
