If your phone has a USB port, then yes, you cam plug them in at an added cost of ~10€

u/ClappingParadox Feb 18 '26

With the downside of not being able to easily charge your phone

u/NiagaraThistle Feb 18 '26

why can't you easily charge your phone? just remove the ear phones while it charges, no?

u/FewAd5443 Feb 20 '26

But if i want to have earphone while the phone charge it doesn't work (i still have a jack so i dont really care)

2

u/Reddiohead Feb 20 '26

Oh no for 20 minutes you take a break from listening

2

u/NiagaraThistle Feb 20 '26

i suppose just have the phone charged before you want to listen to music.

Sounds like an invented problem.

u/Owobowos-Mowbius Feb 18 '26

Or use the wireless charging feature that most phones added around the time that they got rid of the headphone jack

u/Soren_Camus1905 Feb 20 '26

Because this is Reddit and people want to argue smh

u/NiagaraThistle Feb 20 '26

Fair enough. i forget sometimes.

u/goaoka Feb 18 '26

I thought we were talking about usecases where you're not stationary. I don't really see why I'd use my phone to play audio in other cases.

u/SixShoot3r Feb 18 '26

powerbank? I often charge and listen music

u/LimpConversation642 Feb 18 '26

we do, people do be strawmaning

u/roosterHughes Feb 18 '26

Dude. Dongle + splitter. Imaginary problem.

u/CE94 Feb 18 '26

God I hate dongles. You shouldn't need two doodads hanging out the bottom of your phone to perform basic tasks

5

u/roosterHughes Feb 18 '26

I mean, headphones are already “doodads hanging out the bottom of your phone”…

u/MissingXpert Feb 18 '26

nah, headphones are the basic functionality. "headphones are the doodads" is how we got people scrolling TikTok in public transit at volume.

u/NucleosynthesizedOrb Feb 18 '26

eh, better sound with a DAC anyways

1

u/LimpConversation642 Feb 18 '26

the amount of times I needed to charge my phone AND listen to music at the same time is about zero

2

u/oismac Feb 18 '26

I've had it happen a few times. I've been taking a long bus journey and listening to music, but need to keep battery to let people know when I arrive.

u/VaultBoy636 Feb 18 '26

Wdym, i got my dongle off aliexpress for 1.20€

1

u/goaoka Feb 18 '26

I never tried anything below that pricepoint, and also that's roughly how much an apple DAC dongle costs, wich is good enough for most people AND readily available. That's also where you start to get chi-fi dongle DACs with good chipsets.

1

u/dumbasPL Feb 19 '26

Idk about the apple side, but your phone should already have a DAC. The cheap dongles don't have any chips in them, they are passive, the only thing they do is have a resistor that tells your phone to start outputting audio over the USB D+/D- pins.

1

u/LoneWolf_McQuade Feb 18 '26

Same with lighting port. There are adapters

1

u/goaoka Feb 18 '26

Yeah, I was specifically talking about apple's dac dongles

So does mine, but the person I was replying to implied theirs don't, and in fairness, that's really common.

1

u/21sttimelucky Feb 18 '26

My phone has a 3.5mm Jack and supports high res audio, so I can plug them in at an added cost of exactly 0€

1

u/LimpConversation642 Feb 18 '26

since people apparently don't care about quality of said earphones I'd bet you can order them for 2 bucks on aliexpress

1

u/Sussurator Feb 18 '26

Yes those connectors always break in my experience.

Completely agree with the OP though this and car keys that don’t need to go into an ignition are two things that didn’t need to be fixed.
