I do think adapters are not a terrible option as people make them out to be, as an Apple user I just would be happy with usbc wired headphones…. Once the eu finally forced Apple to make the iPhone use usb c. It’s literally the only device I have that doesn’t use it. And I hate lightening so much I just use MagSafe to charge in my vehicle and by my bed and that’s it. I refuse to carry another cable.

while they're better than having nothing at all, I don't think they're a good solution: if you connect a dongle every day to your phone you're putting a lot of strain on a USB-C port, making it wear a lot faster than usual. It happened to me with my last cell phone, in a little more than one year it couldn't hold the charging cable properly anymore and I was forced to change it. If you use it extensively like I did, bluetooth earphones might be a better choice
