I never quite understood the headphone jack thing. It's a nifty thing to have but an adapter is a one time purchase. It seems like nowadays lack of headphone jack is just a minor inconvenience.

Or just get some wireless headphones and be done with it.

Worth it just so you don't knock the wired ones off your head when you move about, or yank the cables out of them and have to buy new ones.

I can see the point of wired if you've got some nice audiophile kit, but a phone is not that.

Except that wireless headphones have more complexity, points of failure, and usually shorter life. Just avoiding batteries alone should give a longer life and do less environmental harm.
