In addition to @timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works: I don’t need pairing, I don’t have to deal with bad reception, it’s harder to loose wired ones and even if I loose them, new ones cost a fraction of bt ones.
Also I still have some wired ones.
The simplicity of simply plugging them in and it just works is something really abstract to alternatives.
You have headphones on in your car, listening to music, while you’re driving? I hope you’ve checked your local laws because that is illegal in quite a few countries. It’s also a very niche example as most people would use the car stereo instead of headphones.
Then maybe don’t make examples of something I never talked about? I think I’ve been very clear that I’m talking about replacing 3.5mm headphones with a USB-C headphones. I wasn’t talking about replacing a 3.5mm in/out cable with some kind of a USB-C in, 3.5mm out cable. Such a cable would have to contain a DAC and if it’s going to contain a DAC you might as well buy a USB hub with a 3.5mm out port so you can continue using your 3.5mm in/out cable while you also charge your phone. See how that’s a completely different scenario with a completely different solution?

Okay? Literally nothing you said applies to USB-C headphones. Except for this part:
What about the price is simultaneous charging?
How often do you charge your phone and listen to music at the same time? And is that really something you cannot compromise on?
One example - I charge it when using it for navigation in the car while at the same time listening to music.

C’mon, this is getting childish. No, I don’t have headphones while driving, I have an audio input to the car’s stereo.
