I refuse to get a phone without a headphone jack. Mostly because I know I’m inevitably going to lose my headphones, forget to charge them, forget them in my trouser pockets that will go in the wash. The latter has happened at least a couple of times with my current headphones and they still work just fine. Try that with your Bluetooth pair and let me know how it goes.
I’m still rocking a 7-year-old Galaxy S9+. A few years ago my headphone jack wore out and the gapped hole no longer retains my earbud cable. Since then, I’ve been using a USB-C adapter, but the combined earbud and charging use is starting to take it’s toll and the port is beginning to feel loose. I’m convinced that if I was limited to USB only over the full life of this phone, I would have lost wired headphone and wired charging capability a long time ago. I wish you well with your singular bottleneck port.

I just got a USB DAC for $12. If also has a type C pass through. It’s so small it stays permanently attached to my wired headphones.
It’s a fairly complete solution tbh.

My Bluetooth bone induction headphones survived a month in the bottom of a dishwasher.
As soon as you stop having a cord get caught on everything in your life and get used to pausing/playing with a tap to the ear it all clicks.
But yea the raycon/airpod models don’t appeal to me.
That’s impressive, do you remember which headphones those were?
