My current phone (Pixel 6) doesn’t have a headphone jack, and I hate it because of that. I bought an adapter and it didn’t work, turns out most phones with a Qualcomm SoC have a DAC so a passive adapter is fine… But the pixel has a non-qualcomm SoC which doesn’t have a DAC connected to the USB-C port so I had to get a dongle with a DAC. They suck, and cost more than the passive dongles, and half of them sound like garbage with terrible QC.
Also dongles are easy to lose or break, since they are fragile.

My next phone has to have a headphone jack.
