Why do people hate a 1 inch dongle so much?
Not like you even notice it's there with wired headphones.
You can even get one that charges and plays at the same time, yes it's a little bulky, but if you're charging and have wired headphones it's always going to be bulky.
Because I do notice it, and it's an extra thing to carry around and keep track of. It adds two extra inflexible hard points in my pocket which are kind of annoying. Right angle headphone plugs exist to reduce the protrusion of the plug in your pocket, and the USB C headphone dongles don't do that.
They make right angle usb c to 3.5mm dongles
Have you used the dongles that allow charging at the same time? They're universally shitty.
An extra part to fail and cause issues, get lost when rummaging around. Why would anyone want to walk around with an extra part when it used to just be included
I seriously don't get people justifying the adapter. But I guess it's a non issue for them and how they use the device.
Lost? How many other things are you plugging your headphones into?
Just keep the dongle attached to your headphones. You can't lose it then.
Like, I just leave a 3.5mm to usb c adapter in my car attached for when I need to plug in my phone. No need for me to even remove it ever because I don't have anything 3.5mm to plug in.
