I know of a few options depending on the desired setup:
- There are USB-C to 3.5mm jacks. Probably the simplest. There are also Y cables that put out a USB-C charging port and 3.5mm.
- I own a Sony SBH54. Converts bluetooth into 3.5mm. Awesome to pair to my phone and laptop, hoping improved specs of Bluetooth 5 shoe up in a new device soon. I have been on Bluetooth audio with their SBH50 and MW600 - the audio quality has improved greatly. I wonder if there's a wireless external DAC.
I heard of an intriguing option yesterday - USB C Digital headphones where the signal remains purely digital.
LG has put dacs into the v20 and a variant of the g6, I kind of wish I had gotten a model with one.
I sense the no headphone jack is here to stay if the reason for it is true (allowing thinner phones).
