Just got my first phone without a headphone jack, and it's thicker than my previous phone that had one. But honestly it's mildly annoying at most. A dongle works, I guess, but it's certainly weird and seems like an unnecessary omission.
I moved on to Airpods shortly after they came out and honestly I have had 0 desire to use wired headphones with a phone. The Airpods pro sound great for earbuds.
If I want a real super high quality audio experience I'd use a dedicated DAC and AMP because the ones in phones have never been amazing. Plus if I'm out and about there's probably too much background noise to even appreciate good headphones.
That's good. Spend most of my time indoors in noise free environments and in ears/earphones do not work for me for medical reasons.
They make over the ear bluetooth headphones too.
Oh I am aware and own a good pair. Latency is still an issue, and my best sounding cans are wired.
