    Except for when I switch my headphones to another device that uses the 3.5mm, or if I switch from in-ear to over-ear, if if I want to plug my phone into my stereo. In all those cases I have to move the dongle around.

    You shouldn’t need dongles to use headphones. There is no rational reason a phone can’t have a headphone jack, it’s just Apples insanity spreading to the rest of the phone manufacturers.

      switch from in-ear to over-ear, want to plug my phone into my stereo.

      It’s actually hard to buy a single dongle. They’re like 4 for $9. So you put one on everything.

      For home stereo I bought a Bluetooth dongle and leave that plugged into the stereo.

      So it’s not perfect, but it’s not like you can’t plug in your phone.

      I was angry about headphone jacks for a long time but it’s easier to pick your battles and motion to more important things
