Yeah, that’s what I really don’t get about all the people in this thread. No matter how many headphones you have, the adapter is like 10$ at most. Just get as many as you need to always have one where you need it

I don’t intend on turning this into some sort of fight but to me your comment has big

“I don’t see the problem why can’t other people just have enough money”

vibes (Also I checked and an adapter costs me 12$ on Amazon). I don’t think you intended it this way, so I’ll shut up now.

As to my actual answer:

Leaving it on headphones is not an option to me (I explained it above)

Buying one for every jacket might work, but what do I do in summer?

Please correct me on this but afaik it’s not standardized

USB output is usually digital, while headphone obviously require an analog signal. I assume the vendors just use certain pins in the USB jack for transmitting the analog signal while keeping the rest grounded.

I know for certain that Samsung adapters don’t work on OnePlus phones for example.

I could go on, but there’s honestly no point. We’re different people with different uses for our phones/headphones. I won’t buy a phone without a headphone jack as long as I still have wired headphones.

  Adapters are literally <5 USD including shipping on AliExpress. At that point it’s not about the price if your buying a phone anyways, because the cheap phones haven’t abandoned the aux jack.
  
  Also the digital usb adapters should work on any phone, unlike the “dumb” ones that trigger the DAC inside the phone (if there is one).
