Alternatively, if your current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

Mine doesn't have a headphone jack but Xiaomi did provide a Type C to Headphone jack adapter in the box. It would have been better to have it embedded in the phone itself. But now, what happens is I don't use the phone while it's charging. So good enough for me.

I am once again telling you to use an adapter or external dac.

Not as someone who only uses bt headphones, but as someone who owns more sets of wired headphones than almost everyone itt.

Stop relying on a dac included as an afterthought. Stop relying on a port that was never designed for pocket use and routinely tears the end off your $300 senhausers.

I'm blessed to be the kind of pleb who is happy with built in DACs and $9 Panasonic earbuds. Headphone jack for life!

I have an adapter that splits so I can charge my phone while I talk on a headset while working. Does that count?

No.

I stopped using wired headsets loooong before they started taking them off...my HP iPaq had Bluetooth and my iPod didn't--that's when I bought my first Bluetooth headset.

With the jack-to-lighning adapter that came with my iPhone I can easily use my wired headphones those 2 times of the year. The rest of the time, my phone is a tiny bit smaller that it otherwise would be.

I on the other hand don't want to mess around with an adapter I will break or loose once a year for the 1-2 times a day I plug a 3.5mm headphone jack into my phone. As for size... am I really the only one who thinks phones are too skinny now? My current phone is "thick" compared to what most manufacturers are shooting for now and I don't like holding it without the extra thickness from my cheap phone case. Like... it's an unpleasantly un-ergonmic experience holding something too rigid and thin. It seems like everyone else thinks we're nowhere near that point yet. Maybe I just have delicate sensitive hands...
