What's needed for your situation is a little doo-dad that tethers the dongle to your headphones, so you can disconnect it freely and not lose it.

No, he should tape the adapter to the phone, using silver duct tape.
Or a simple analog jack would work too.
Well there won't be an analog jack on the iPhone 7, so that's not a solution.
A little dogbone shaped white silicone thing would look a lot nicer than duct tape.
I think you already realize both of those things.
For the record, I was being facetious on purpose to show how ridiculous this is.
But more to your point, the adapter would belong with the phone not with the headphones. There are potentially N number of headphones, and one phone for which the adapter will be used. So the adapter being carried with the phone instead of N adapters for N headsets makes more sense.
Kind of like a MacCozy for the magsafe v1/v2 adapter? I can tell you that's a very solid product.
