Alternatively, if your current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

I am once again telling you to use an adapter or external dac.

Not as someone who only uses bt headphones, but as someone who owns more sets of wired headphones than almost everyone itt.

Stop relying on a dac included as an afterthought. Stop relying on a port that was never designed for pocket use and routinely tears the end off your $300 senhausers.

Completely disagree. Dongle dacs are noisy, easy to break, etc. The dacs in phones were fine, easily transparent against whatever else is external and bulky. If you're worried about the cable, use headphones with replaceable cables.

Having a jack also doesn't prevent any of the other options. No reason not to include it.

Having used the cheapest $1 dongle dac I could find as an oscilloscope input in what was categorized by the station operator as a high noise environment, my experience with their nosiness runs counter to yours.

I'm blessed to be the kind of pleb who is happy with built in DACs and $9 Panasonic earbuds. Headphone jack for life!
