    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.

      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.

      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.
