      Seems like an issue with buying cheap adapters rather than with the concept of adapters, cheap headphones will presumably break just as easily

        What adapter do you use? Seriously, I am open to paying more for an adapter once instead of buying cheap adapters over and over.

          Amusingly the only adapter I had is one that came free with an old phone which has just broken! I use wireless headphones mainly, not a fan of all the noise that comes from a cable banging against me as I walk.

        I don’t lean either way on the headphone jack debate. But a friend insisted that cheapness was one of the main reasons he preferred wired headphones. Bluetooth ones were too expensive and he kept losing or destroying them. Definitely a him problem but replacing cheap headphones was easier and the dongle was just another layer of expense to deal with if the phone didn’t have a jack.
