Alternatively, if your current phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

    I mostly use bluetooth, but the jack of my phone is not sitting there unused. I have wired headphones too, and I frequently use my phone as a microphone (because it is one) by connecting it to my computer by a jack cable.

    Also, the next headphone of mine will probably be wired. Always keeping it charged is not really a problem, but the privacy aspect of Bluetooth has started to disturb me.
    With a wired connection, you exactly know and control who connects to your devices, and at the same time you don’t announce to the world that you are here.

    Also, as I understand you can’t use USB-C for audio and charging or data transfer at the same time, or even all 3 at the same time. Is that right?
    That is critical functionality for me. Audio is not just entertainment, it could be an online meeting or other things too, and at one point I’ll have to change my phone, or transfer files from it. However I don’t have a USB-C phone so I can’t test it, so I would appreciate if someone could confirm if this is actually the case.
