On Fairphone, they flat out refuse to even discuss adding a headphone jack (check the posts in their forums - it's a "hands over ears" no) so I'm sticking with Sony/ASUS (the latter atm as they've been slightly less anticompetitive recently but I'd much rather go to a decent company) until they do... It's not like you notice a phone being 1mm thicker when you have a 3mm case on it anyway

Their answer is buying the usb-c to 3mm adapter. If you keep that connecter in you bag, ot connected to your headphones, you should be fine most of the time. Unless you would like to charge and listen to audio at the same time.

To me, that feels like a solid design choice, but yes we all have our dealbreakers.

Solid in the same way the designers heads are solid bone I guess...

A 3.5mm adapter is not an answer as it causes wear on the USB C port in ways it's not designed for (but 3.5mm is as it's circular so the cable rotates and breaks before the port), and it's hard to get a good dac that isolates the power noise when using a multiple charging/listening adapter that's also that small
