Lol @ this barely coherent drivel being up voted.

Lol harder at the butthurt 3.5mm fetishists who downvote simple answers to their unbelievably petty and stupid criticisms.

Lol hardest at every dipshit who mentioned Bluetooth and didn't like when the adapters were pointed out as the basic solution to their whining.

"We don't want solutions we want to bitch"

simplicity the cable just works. no configuration. no pairing .un pairing, figuring why it worked yesterday

Use the adapter plug as mentioned. You can even just leave it on your normal headphones if you only use 1 pair!

whats the big deal. This is a bias for the plug users - would it hurt to keep it?

Hurts waterproofing, phone slimness and design, etc. again, you can just use an adapter to have all the stuff you're whining about back.

Investment - I have really good headphones. I have really good earbuds. Yes there are adapters but they are finicky exactly when you want them to just work

No, you're either talking out of your ass or buying the cheapest possible cord and being shocked when it doesn't work right. My $8 adapter has worked for 4 years no problem driving over-ear headphones no issues.

they purposefully gloss over the things they are taking away

Nothing was taken away. It's literally just combined with another port now.

If you want to be mad at anyone: be mad at the people making headphones with 3.5mm jacks rather than USB-C, as they're the ones using an outdated port.

Ok great, let me charge my phone while I listen to music, oh wait now I need another adaptor.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 6 months ago

Literally just get that kind of charger. That $8 one I have is one.

All you weird-ass fetishists for an old connector keep having the most child-lrvel intelligence "gotchas"

Use the adapter plug as mentioned.

Type C can't spin 360°. I have a 90-degree 3.5mm jack, which doesn't create a risk of breaking the port, so I can put my phone in my pocket in any position.

Hurts waterproofing, phone slimness and design

Check out the Sony Xperia 10. It's the smallest phone on the market with a 3.5mm jack, micro SD slot, 5000 mAh battery, and IP68 rating.

Nothing was taken away. It's literally just combined with another port now.

Haha, remember 2000s, when most phones were using proprietary connector for both charging and headphones output? Everyone hated that stuff.

Type C can't spin 360°

Headphone jack portion of the adapter can

Remember the 2000s

Yeah, because everyone having a different charger is the same thing as an actually UNIVERSAL connector.

I mean that phones had combo port both for charging and headphones. Using adapters was annoying. And if you saying that 3.5mm is obsolete than why newest Macbooks have 3.5mm port?

Nothing was taken away. It’s literally just combined with another port now. That's not how either Apple or Samsung adapters work. The converters to a bit more than change the shape of the plug.
