    With wireless headphones you can also charge your phone and listen at the same time

    Yes, but that’s not the point. The point is that if I want to use wired headphones, I can’t charge my phone. Something I was able to do before, and now it’s a “privilege” for wireless users. It’s bullshit.

      JFC y’all are dumb. Just get a goddamn splitter. It’s not “privilege” that you get to keep using lead paint in your house, when you can do the same thing without the drawbacks or the lead.

        What a weak ass analogy. A mini-jack doesn’t harm anybody.

          How can you say that! It harms the shareholders of wireless earphones manufacturers!

      What phone do you have where you can’t charge it and use wired headphones?!

      I might be out of the loop lol. Is that an iPhone thing? I use android.

        I don’t own one. I had to buy one without a phone jack out of necessity (needed a phone right that second), but that’s what I’ve been hearing. You need a dongle to connect your wired earbuds, and while you’re using the dongle, you can’t charge your phone.

        Has this changed?

          You can buy a USB-C splitter or replace your current dongle with one that gives you the exact ports you want.

          For example, the Belkin Rockstar is USB-C to USB-C+3.5mm jack. It’s $40 but there are a ton of cheaper options - JSAUX has a few for $15 or so on Amazon, and there are other no-name branded versions out there for around $10ish.
