      USB to headphone jack dongle is how I roll. The have actual chips in them so you can get the quality you want.

        I will never be satisfied until either, phones come with two USBC ports or a Y shaped dongle is made that lets me charge AND listen.

          I don’t know if it has better than average battery life, but I only need to charge my phone when I’m sleeping. I only charge it to 80%, too. Sure it’s better to have a headphone jack, but when life gives you lemons, etc.

          They do exist. I bought one at the gas station, but it buzzes when I have it charging while playing music. :/

      Yeah. Every time a small manufacturer (shift, fairphone) releases a new phone my heart starts beating a bit faster, and then I check the specs and I’m so disappointed.

      The big dogs I understand, a few cents per unit saved over a million phones is a lotta dough, but these guys? Damn.

        And electrically, if they are able to drive speakers, that same signal can drive headphones. It just needs the port.
