Someone needs to invent a headphone cord that directly connects to the USB C port. Is that a thing?

I would if I had one, I use a lightning adapter with wired headphones
I don't have a headphone jack.
Even if I had one, I haven't been able to buy wired headphones that aren't crap quality that don't hurt my ears. Last time I bought wired headphones (more accurately earbuds) they were tinny knock off garbage being sold on Amazon as a legitimate product, and that was years ago.

When I use IEMs I use an Apple USB-C to 3.5.mm dongle for my Pixel. Weirdly good value ngl. Nowadays I do have a pair of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro as well. I use them more than wired headphones at this point. So while a headphone jack would still be nice, to me it's not that necessary anymore.
I thought I'd miss not having a headphone jack but I don't. I don't miss getting the wires caught on things and yanking out of my ears.
People will always be very vocal about things like this but I'd bet the vast majority of people don't care. It's a bit like smaller phones, I'm firmly in the "I need a smaller phone" camp but it seems like the market doesn't want one and most people prefer the big phones we have today.
I have a headphone jack and have never used it
I have an older car, and I use the aux cord and headphone jack every day.
Curious why mods don't remove posts like this? Seems like some cleanup is needed on this Com.
Current phone: Never, because it doesn't have one.
Last phone: Also never, because I had decent Bluetooth headphones.
Phone before that: All the time, but broke several sets of earbuds from snagging on things and getting frayed.
Genuinely can't be arsed to wear a piece of wire down my clothes like I'm a small child with some fucking mittens on a string. Could not give two fucks about the 3.5mm jack dying out.
