    USB-C earbuds exist. No one is “forcing” you to do anything.

      • can’t charge the phone when the USB port is in use
      • can’t use the aux input of any external devices
      • can’t use the headphones with anything else
      • shitty experience as someone else here mentioned
      • …

      I like my Pixel 7 Pro but its also my first phone without a headphone jack and I hate it. Bluetooth is such a shitty standard and the USB dongles suck ass too. Why the fuck did they have to get rid of something so simple and practical…

      Which is still having to buy a second set of earbuds/headphones when there’s no need for it. Or buy a separate dongle (a major pain in the ass over time).

      This is not “sustainability” friendly design.
