                  Instead of bringing back the useless headphone jack (Which can be used for audio only..). Why not have 2 usb-c port? then a single port to rule them all!

                  But of course that would be a big engineering feat!.. USB 3.0 interferes with Wifi.. having 2 connecting would diminish wifi connectivity by tons..

                    people nowadays using technology for simplicity, and now getting confused for jack audio adaptor.
                    sometimes i used bluetooth audio adapter, but sound quality not as good as i'm using direct 3.5mm jack.

                      Someone who listens music from the phone and charges the phone at the same time (doing this almost every evening) will not get any benefit from any kind of adapter. 3.5mm is necessary.

                        Another one bites the dust, I wonder how long it will be before Samsung do this to their devices.
                        Do more people dunk their phones in water or do more people plug earphones into them to listen to music?
                        I wonder how long is going to be before a dodgy shipment of batteries start burning people's ears or what ever part of the body the battery rests on.

It will just make things more difficult when you need to charge and want to listen to music at the same time. Bluetooth headsets are simply more expensive than their wired counterparts.

                                BTW, how could USB c headphones could be better than 3.5 mm when both uses the same tech?
                                But how could you charge your phone and listen to music at the same time? You didn't answer that.

                                    Since they moved the 3.5mm headphone Jack, I heard some really dumb comments on this forum.

                                    Type C is way better quality than a 140 year old 3.5mm I know because I own a pair.

                                    Then there is the lain argument of, how do I charge my phone and listen to music.

                                    Get a phone a phone with a good battery life. HTC and Motorola are ahead of the competition and Google will be next, but you didn't hear it from me.

                                      HTC does not have the massive user support like Apple does to be able to pull off that no headphone jack thing. But who knows.

                                      I guess I just don't get it what's with the headphone jack why they keep removing it. Gosh.
