    I just plug my headphones directly into USB-C without a dongle for both phone and laptop. Works just as well and 3.5mm used to.

    I’m all for plugging in but I don’t really understand the outrage now that everything is super standardized.

      You can’t charge your phone and use your USB headphones at the same time, without a dongle.

      If this isn’t a use case for you, you should understand that it is a use case for others, and it’s a problem that was solved before manufacturers forced it on it. Give me two USB ports and maybe I’ll be satisfied, though I’m sure others still have a use case for 3.5mm and will still need a dongle…

      Things are in no way “super standardized”. My headphones aren’t USB. My aux jack isn’t USB. None of my audio shit plugs into USB.
