On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

Most high end noise cancelling bluetooth headphones work as you describe. Noise cancelling and Bluetooth require it to be charged, but you can plug to a cable and listen passively.

Yeah the issue we're slowly running into is that there's no more 3.5mm sockets in newer phones.

When my current phone dies it'll be a toss-up between trying to find a decent phone with a headphone socket or trying a USB C audio adaptor and see how that goes.

A $10 dongle is gonna be a lot better than limiting yourself to the obscure few phones that still have a headphone jack. They make ones that allow you to play and charge too, useful especially in cars.
