I‘m not constantly switching those headphones between devices. I use them with my phone, when I want to actively listen to lossless music, so I got the cable that works for that. When I eventually upgrade to a phone with USB-C, I’ll get a cable for that.

And most of the time, when I’m out n about I use cheap wireless earbuds anyways, because I don’t like fighting with cables when I‘m actively doing stuff and all I listen to with them are podcasts anyways.

Yes, I would be happier with a headphone jack but I don’t have one, so what else can I do?

You can not tell people they don't need to lead a dongle life. Because they do.

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They don’t though, if they don’t swap their headphones between devices with different connectors. A cable is not a dongle, unless you’re considering all wired headphones to need a dongle to plug into any device.

A cable is not a dongle

There is no functional difference, this is ridiculous.

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

There‘s also no functional difference between a cable with one plug and a cable with another plug, if you never swap the cable.

I‘m not saying it’s the perfect solution but it beats having an extra adapter hanging on your cable.
