Just connect USB-C headphones, or use a USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongle. The audio jack isn't needed anymore. The only real downsides of USB-C are that you can't charge while listening, less wirelessly, and it's more wear and tear for the port, but that's unlikely to matter.

I have owned one phone without an audio jack. Never again. Don't shove that trash non logic down anybody else's throat there's no reason not to have a 3.5mm aux. USBC aux cords are the least reliable cables I've ever seen on the market and their adapters are just as shitty. U know what works? Every single time? Aux port.

I've yet to find a dongle that lasts more than around half a year of frequent use before starting to break. If you have any recommendations, that would be greatly appreciated.

You can find some that goes USB-C to 3.5mm + USB-C for 6$ So you can actually charge while listening. But some people just can't adapt.
