People sticking with audio jack phones, why is USB-C earphones not a solution? - Lemmy.world

Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?

I can’t charge my phone and listen to stuff at the same time, and my headphone jack headphones work with every device but a new phone. Don’t know why I would want to throw that convenience away all because Apple/every other manufacturer decided we should get rid of headphone jacks.

I always hear this argument, but seriously how often is this a problem?

I plug my phone in in the car and when I go to bed at night. Neither time of which I would be listening to music

I relax in my bed and listen to music or watch stuff, and I’d like to charge my phone while I’m close to the socket
