I cant sleep without listening to podcasts & i charge the phone at night so this is one of the reasons why i was reluctant to upgrade my old phone.
When I inevitably had to upgrade I bought a USB C headphone/charging dongle for about €15. All good, I'd been worrying about nothing ...Until it broke within a few months so I had to go without podcasts for a few nights whilst I waited for the replacements to arrive (might as well be prepared & buy a spare right?). Guess what? The first replacement lasted a only few months again. So far, a lack of headphone jack has cost me an extra €45 inside of about 6 months. Absolutely ridiculous
Buy the braided cable splitters they are invincible
One solution would be bluetooth receiver like the Sony sbh 5x. Or full on Bluetooth headphones.
The point is, the dongle is simply not a good solution
You can buy a small Bluetooth/3.5mm adapter. I have one for my amp when I want to play music through it. It also works with earphones. It's about the size of a credit card but obviously thicker.
… and requires you to use Bluetooth headphones that you have to keep charged…
If they mean what I think they do... There are Bluetooth ->3.5 "adapters"... E.g. Bluetooth source (phone), analog output (headphones). Logitech has/had one and it works well.
No. It has a 3.5mm socket. You connect it to your phone via Bluetooth and plug in your headphones.
Then where does it get power from?
It's rechargeable.
